Dating back to the early 1600s, this four bedroom property, on Great North Road, has undergone extensive renovation works resulting in an enviable village home.
The rustic stone walls have been integral to the villagers over the centuries – once a place for the local midwives to work from and forming part of an old coaching inn.
The exposed brickwork and original features that remain are steeped in history, adding to the charm of this unique cottage.
Internally, the property comprises of an open-plan living space and kitchen, a central utility room, and a lounge.
To the first floor are three double bedrooms, one of which has an en suite, and the family bathroom.
A spiral staircase on the first floor leads to a second floor study and the principal bedroom, which has a large shower room with a three-piece white suite.
Externally, the central lawn is split by a stepping stone path and surrounded by textured shrubs, varied trees and an apple tree that produces fruit.
Closer to the property, a patio provides a useful seating and a barbecue area for gathering friends and family.
This lovely cottage, on Great North Road, is currently for sale for £500,000 through estate agents Enfields Luxe.
