Description Farleys Cottage is a beautifully presented and extremely attractive detached period property of immense charm and character. Believed to have once been the village bakery, the cottage dates back to the late 17th Century and is Listed Grade II as being of Architectural and Historic merit. The interior of the cottage retains many of its original features throughout including exposed beams and a large inglenook fireplace with bread oven. The property has been improved significantly over the last twelve years with a fantastic kitchen/breakfast room having been added at the rear of the property. Constructed from a timber frame and with a vaulted ceiling the extension is in- keeping with the character of the cottage; while the glass windows and doors flood the room with natural light and views on to the terrace and garden. Bespoke wooden units are complemented with light granite work surfaces, there is a large Rangemaster cooker with fitted extractor hood and a free-standing, rustic kitchen island. The kitchen opens into a generous dining room which has a small inglenook fireplace with fitted electric stove. The living room is an excellent size and can be used as one large reception room or divided in to two smaller informal spaces depending upon your preference or the time of year, there is a large inglenook fireplace with wood-burning stove and bread oven being the focal point; furthermore there is a study that can be used as an additional bedroom as it benefits from an adjacent bathroom with useful laundry area. On the first floor there are three generous bedrooms and a family bath/shower room.
Outside The large gardens are also a most attractive feature of the cottage. Mostly laid to lawn, there are beautiful flowering borders and a pretty walkway with a summerhouse flanked by a beech hedge and draped with honeysuckle. There are two terraces that are private and lay on the western side of the cottage making them an ideal afternoon/evening area for entertaining or a casual drink, there is an ornamental fish pond, mature trees and shrubs, two garden sheds with wood store and pleasant countryside views over the fields to the hills beyond.
