Situated within this conveniently located rural village in a Conservation Area, Windsor Cottage is a beautifully presented and extended 'unlisted' cottage, believed to date back to the 17th-century, built of traditional timber-framed construction under a thatched and pan-tiled roofline.

The property cleverly fuses the original characteristics to include the exposed timber frame, inglenook fireplaces, timber latched doors and attractive mix of sash and casement windows, with a modern arrangement of accommodation that benefits from a high degree of natural light throughout and versatile living space.

The accommodation extends to around 1,600ft2, arranged over two floors, comprising an open thatched porch with log-store and entrance hall leading through to a delightful snug with oak flooring and large Inglenook fireplace with stove, exposed timbers and two large 16-panel windows to the front aspect. The snug leads through to a double aspect sitting room with large inglenook fireplace with stove featuring doors that can be left open for those looking for an open fire. A half-panelled hall has built-in storage and staircase to the first floor with further storage beneath, and access to an attractive glazed rear porch/garden room.

The well-equipped kitchen/breakfast/garden room enjoys a southerly orientation with views over the beautifully kept and landscaped garden with field views beyond.

The kitchen itself is fitted with an extensive range of base and eye level units with preparation surfaces and ceramic sink with drainer, integrated dishwasher, space for range oven and fridge freezer, and leads through to the stunning vaulted breakfast/ garden room with French doors and views leading out to the garden. There is further storage within the utility room, with granite worktop, Belfast sink, tiled floors and shower cubicle, sink and low-level WC.

On the first floor is a landing leading to the three good-sized bedrooms, with the principal bedroom having a feature bay window with window seat, overlooking the garden and fields beyond, and bedroom 2 having exposed chimney breast, double aspect and built-in cupboard. Bedroom three also has fitted wardrobe cupboards. The family bathroom is fitted with a modern white suite, with partial painting panelling and window to the east, overlooking the grounds.

Outside
Windsor Cottage is approached via a 5-bar gate leading to a large, gravelled drive providing turning space and parking for up to 4 cars, and access to garaging.

The gardens are a particularly notable feature, having been landscaped and cleverly planted throughout along with multiple seated areas for outside entertaining, enjoying views towards the church. The garden is well stocked with an abundance of flowering plants, shrubs and mature and specimen trees, as well as pergola, chicken run and large terrace seating area which enjoy a southerly orientation. Part of the garage is now a beautifully converted garden studio which is an ideal space to work from home or extra guest accommodation.
