A feast for your eyes awaits as you approach this simply stunning, double-fronted cottage. Stepping through the front door you will immediately be taken by the surprising sense of space. With high ceilings, large window and a window seat the sitting room invites you to relax and unwind in front of the open fire. A discreet storage cupboard offers you practical space to hide your coats and shoes, while large double doors lead through to the second reception room with a log-burning stove set within an ornate period mantle surround.

The inner lobby features a fitted bookcase to store your favourite books, while the stairs lead up to your left. Beyond here you will find the striking rear lobby with eye-catching floor tiles and a sturdy, secure rear door, harking back to its days as a post office.

The open plan kitchen, family/dining room to the rear, offers you plenty of space to entertain family and friends with an eclectic range of free-standing units, sat upon a flag-stone floor. The sink and drainer take in the attractive courtyard garden view, while there is space for a range-style oven, plumbing and space for a washing machine, within the units and a free-standing dresser that cleverly masks the oil-fired boiler.Upstairs the sense of space continues with the light-filled landing. The principal bedroom suite encompasses a generous bedroom, formerly the post office s sitting room, hence the grand feature period fire and surround, dressing room (which has served as a bedroom in the past, or could serve as home office, and ensuite dressing room. Double doors from the dressing room lead out on to a balcony which captures the afternoon/evening sun. While the ensuite features a walk-in shower cubicle, WC and wash hand basin with vanity unit. There are two further double bedrooms upstairs the guest bedroom featuring a re-fitted ensuite shower room.
Outside
The rear courtyard garden is a delightful, low-maintenance space with both sunny and shaded seating areas, including a rear porch canopy, from the purpose built balcony terrace above. The dining terrace has a brick built barbecue/chiminea and is ideal for al fresco entertaining. While a former outbuilding has been cleverly converted for use as an art studio. The former stable now makes for the perfect, secure storage space/workshop. White picket fencing, with a hinged/gated section (allowing for neighbouring right of access for the bins), completes this quintessential English country cottage.
