Description Barton Cottage is believed to date back to the early 1700s and comes with a wealth of character reflecting its period origins. This charming home offers some really generous accommodation on the ground floor with super reception space, including a central drawing room with large central fireplace and a wealth of exposed ceiling timbers, giving this room a particularly welcoming atmosphere, ideal for formal entertaining. The neighbouring dining room is again well proportioned and an atmospheric room which links in well to the kitchen with its vaulted glazed ceiling and designed in attractive farmhouse style, with an attractive range of wall and floor mounted units including cupboard and drawer sections with work surfaces over and a large range, very much in keeping with its character feel. The sitting room towards the rear of the house is a particularly well proportioned room which offers lots of light with double doors opening out onto the rear terrace and garden. This room could equally double up as a 4th bedroom as it has access immediately into the family bathroom. The snug/study at the far end of the house offers a good space for formal living and equally working from home. The bedrooms at first floor level are all well proportioned with attractive period features including exposed wall timbers, again giving this cottage some great charm.
