This pretty country cottage is very comfortable and has lots of potential and the layout offers great versatility depending on the requirements of the new owner. With nearly 1.5 acre gardens (that are not over-looked) and lots of outbuildings, it's ideal for growing fruit & veg and perhaps a few chickens.

Situated in a quiet hamlet, but the side of a quiet country lane, it's a peaceful spot to enjoy a slower pace of life. There is possibly the potential to create a separate gite or create additional bedrooms in the attic at some point (subject to planning). The main roof was renovated in 2019, at the same time a new boiler was installed to provide oil-fired central heating. The front windows are double glazed, rear windows are single-pane. The septic tank was installed in 2015.

The accommodation is currently arranged all at ground floor level and the layout is flexible. There is a particularly interesting opportunity to the left of the house where, subject to planning, additional bedroom space could be added in the attic to create an independent gite.
