An opportunity to purchase a delightful, detached, period cottage which has been thoughtfully extended, tastefully renovated and modernised throughout, occupying a pleasant position within this well regarded village with viewing coming highly recommended.

Shelcliffe Cottage is a charming, individual home offering a wealth of character and features, combining both traditional and modern elements and extending to approx. 2,000 sq.ft. providing a great deal of versatility in its layout. The property has four main reception areas, including a large open plan living/dining kitchen which has been recently refurbished and tastefully appointed with a generous range of Shaker style units finished in heritage colours, opening out into a substantial living/dining area which is undoubtedly going to become the hub of the home. The three further reception areas provide additional versatility with one potentially offering the capacity to be used as a ground floor bedroom if required or, alternatively, would make an excellent home office or playroom. The main sitting room is an attractive space with a heavily beamed ceiling, feature fireplace and French doors leading out into the garden. The former garage has been converted into a further versatile space accessed separately from the main accommodation and would make an excellent home office but could potentially be amalgamated into the main accommodation if required. In addition there is a utility and ground floor cloak room with modern but traditional style fittings.

To the first floor there are four bedrooms, the master of which benefits from ensuite facilities, with a separate family bathroom, again tastefully finished.

As well as the internal accommodation the property occupies a delightful plot, set well back from the lane, with gardens running to three sides. The main garden lies to the south side of the property, catching the majority of the day's sun, having a central lawn and perimeter borders well stocked with established trees and shrubs. A gated driveway provides an excellent level of off road parking and, in turn, leads to the rear garden which has been landscaped for more low maintenance living which offers a good degree of privacy and links back into the living area of the kitchen creating an excellent outdoor entertaining space. In total the plot approaches 1/5 of an acre.
