This beautiful characterful accommodation was formerly a shoemaker's shop and cottage dating from the early 1800s, featuring large south-facing windows with a view of the neighbouring church garden. Tastefully renovated, it now features a welcoming lounge with the original flagstone floors throughout the ground floor, which are warmed by the underfloor heating. Settle in for a snug evening in front of the electric wood-burner-effect fire with a bottle of wine and a film on the Smart TV. A step leads down into the perfectly equipped kitchen/diner which also has a door that opens onto the main street. The kitchen has an electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer, microwave, Tassimo coffee machine, and dishwasher. It is a great space for cooking lazy breakfasts or trying out new recipes. Completing the downstairs accommodation is a utility room with a washing machine and a WC. Heading up the steep cottage-style stairs, you will find the two bedrooms, a double and a single. There is also a bathroom with a shower over the bath and a WC.
There is no outside space for this property, however, there is an extensive recreation ground with a children’s park, just moments from the cottage, which is great for kids and your four-legged friends. Allocated parking opposite the cottage Monday-Saturday (it’s a church car park) is available and parking can also be found on the street (subject to availability), or just over 300 metres away there is a public car park.
