A deceptively spacious cottage situated just off the top of the High Street with a good sized living/dining room and a lovely secluded garden.
Having been owned by the same family for over 142 years, this delightful cottage has a fascinating history. The property is ideally situated just off the top of the High Street, within easy access of all local amenities, country walks and the mainline station. The photo above (circa 1895) shows the property when it was the family's Ropemaking business and Ropemaker’s Walk along the stream, going towards the Church, is where the rope was made. The property then evolved into a General Store / Grocers in 1934, which continued until the family had it converted into a residential cottage in 1989. The property has been well maintained with the accommodation comprising: Entrance lobby, sitting / dining room with storage understairs, cloakroom, kitchen which has a stable door out to the garden and a range of base and eye level units with integrated oven, hob and extractor. There is space for a fridge freezer, washing machine and dryer which can be included in the sale if required. On the first floor landing is a storage cupboard, access to the loft and the bedroom is bright and airy with Velux windows, two built in cupboards and original beams. Off the bedroom is the bathroom with exposed beams, a Velux window and fitted with a 3 piece white suite.
Outside
Adjacent to the front door is a further door which gives secure access to the pathway that leads to the rear garden. The side passage belongs to the property, with a right of access for neighbouring properties, although this is rarely used. The secluded cottage garden has a pond, elderly timber shed and a garden railway, that can be restored, which runs around the perimeter and through the shed. The garden is well stocked with plants, shrubs and roses which can be enjoyed from the patio abutting the property, or the seating area within the garden.
