The Property

Lilac Cottage is believed to date back to 1700 and in total extends to in excess of 1500 sq.ft of accommodation. The original timber frame still remains with rendered and colourwash elevations under a pantile roof.

A front porch way welcomes you into the cottage and leads through into the study and sitting room. As you walk through the door, you will notice the exposed timbers and to the left, a wide inglenook fireplace with a staircase beside. Both reception rooms are dual aspect and are well proportioned with an adjacent formal dining room which is also dual aspect. A downstairs cloakroom is located next to the study and a rear lobby makes a perfect utility area to kick off boots and shoes when coming in from the garden! The kitchen/breakfast room is triple aspect and truly benefits from three windows to south, east and westerly aspects. Fitted with a range of pine units, the kitchen is fully functionable with a stainless steel sink, Aga, room for domestic appliances and plumbing for a washing machine. The rear open-tread staircase leads up to the first floor landing and allows access for three of the bedrooms, the cloakroom and bathroom. Three of the four bedrooms are double rooms with the smallest being a good sized single. The other double bedroom can be accessed by either bedroom two or by its own staircase which leads up from the sitting room. The bathroom is fitted with an aqua two piece suite, heated towel rail and is partially tiled. Next door is a separate low level wc. The home office/study is accessed externally and would make a superb workspace.



Outside

For those looking for a good sized garden, Lilac Cottage does not disappoint. In total the plot extends to 0.86 (sts) and comprises charming cottage style gardens which are predominantly south facing. The main rear garden is lawned with an orchard and wooded area to the west boundary. The gardens are extremely private and could be totally transformed by keen gardeners. To the side of the cottage is the main driveway providing ample parking and access to the range of outbuildings. The outbuildings comprise two storage sheds, a large workshop and a former coach house. The buildings could be converted into studio space, accommodation or simply refurbished, subject to planning consents.
