The Property Chestnut Cottage is a charming detached, part timber frame, cottage which dates back in parts to the early 1700’s. Modern extensions were added during the millennium to further the accommodation on offer.

From here you will walk into the kitchen/breakfast room which is fitted with a range of solid oak cabinets with work surfaces over. Included within the kitchen is an inset ceramic sink, built in wine rack, a cupboard and a walk in pantry. The striking red oil fired Rayburn provides the domestic central heating and hot water. A small inner hallway then provides access into the larger hallway/office, utility room and cloakroom. To the west of the cottage is the main sitting room with a lovely feature fireplace with brick surround, brick hearth and bressumer beam over. Inset into the space is a ‘Clearview’ multi-fuel stove which transforms the room in winter months. Up onto the first floor you will find a galleried landing, two double bedrooms and the bathroom.
