The sitting room is a wonderfully light room with dual aspect stone mullion windows, one with a window seat, wooden floors, noteworthy panelling and a central fireplace with a wood burner. Upstairs every door leads from the landing. The vaulted main bedroom is simply majestic, with exposed timbers, wooden floorboards and stone mullion windows facing the front showcasing the far reaching tranquil view. There are two further double bedrooms one facing the front and the other across the rear garden. The family bathroom, also boasts great character and is fitted with a fashionable white suite. The property is warmed by gas central heating and a woodburner.

Outside
The gardens are a delightful asset. To the front a wrought iron gate opens onto a path which leads to the front of property where a seating area is located. On either side of the path there are level lawns, one with a wide and well stocked flower border providing much colour. It is enclosed by natural hedging. At the rear a further level lawn is found along with a gravelled seating area, and shed. Hedging sits on two sides with a Cotswold stone wall at the end. Here a shared path leads out to the lane and offers shared access for Primrose Cottage, and it’s neighbour Virgina Cottage and Apple Tree Cottage. It’s very useful access for the bins.
