Property details

Bedrooms: 4

A delightful cottage which is believed in part, to date back to the late 1700's, offering a charming interior full of character and interest. The name Willow Cottage comes from bygone times to when the house was home to the village basket maker. Now it is occupied by an artist who has made good use of extensive outbuildings to create an art studio with its own wood burning stove and two large windows. At over 2,000 sq ft, the accommodation is truly spacious - the three reception rooms all have beamed ceilings and two include open fires. Those who work from home will appreciate the separate study and, in addition to the four bedrooms upstairs, a ground floor bedroom suite which is accessed via one of the two living rooms, will appeal especially to those who may have dependant relatives. The gardens are beautifully laid out with grassed and enclosed terraced areas and include off street parking and a double length garage, workshop and an additional single garage/store.
