More recently the current owners have thoughtfully extended and further improved the cottage providing an extra third bedroom and a stunning open plan kitchen/breakfast room complete with wrap around double glazed bi folding doors creating a seamless link between the cottage and the landscaped rear garden adding a contemporary yet practical twist to this period home.

The property further boasts a contemporary refitted downstairs bathroom/wet room with waterproof polished plastered walls and floor, and the practical advantages of an en suite WC to the master bedroom. whilst the full accommodation comprises entrance vestibule, dining room, sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room, rear entrance hall, first floor landing, three double bedrooms and a modern fitted bathroom.
