DESCRIPTION

A quintessential detached, thatched cottage enjoying a convenient

well maintained, with a fantastic barn conversion annexe in 2010.
This Grade II listed detached property is a National Trust property
and enjoys a wealth of character and features. The internal
accommodation is well laid out and compromises of a main house
plus a recently added separate annexe. Entrance hall with two
separate large reception rooms both enjoying views over the
garden. Moving through to the rear of the main house is a large,
well fitted kitchen/breakfast room with access to a downstairs
cloak/shower room and the annexe. Upstairs benefits from two
large double bedrooms and a light third bedroom. There is also a

clever addition of a shower room and a study area. The rear stone
barn has been brought into the accommodation, being a
complementing contrast between old and new. The annexe is a very
impressive two double bedroom and two bathroom with vaulted
ceilings and underfloor heating, benefitting from countryside views.
The approach is via a long gravel drive and offers parking for a
number of vehicles. The stunning gardens are a real credit to the
owners and measure around .68 of an acre and enjoy the back drop
