Overview

Vine Cottage is an attractive period home displaying red brick and dark timber-clad elevations beneath a steeply pitched tiled roof. Extending to approximately 2,568 sq ft, including a range of useful outbuildings, the property has been carefully restored and maintained and retains an exceptional wealth of original character, with impressive exposed oak timbers, substantial ceiling beams, traditional latched cottage doors and original fireplaces throughout.

The ground floor provides well-balanced accommodation suited to both everyday family living and entertaining. The generous dual-aspect sitting room is centred around an impressive open fireplace with a timber canopy, while the separate dining room features a traditional brick hearth and original joinery. The triple-aspect kitchen and breakfast room is fitted with classic cabinetry, double ovens and generous work surfaces, with ample space for informal dining. A practical boot room and guest cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.

The first floor comprises four characterful bedrooms, including a generous principal bedroom with an en suite bathroom. The remaining bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom, while a secondary staircase provides access to a large boarded loft, providing excellent storage space.

This property has 1 acres of land.
