Middle Street is in the heart of the village with just a short walk to the church and pubs. Linden Cottage dates from around the 1800\‘s with additions in the 1980\‘s and now has comfortable accommodation with good living areas.

Accommodation
The entrance doorway opens into the hallway that has slate flooring and an arched window looking into the kitchen that has been re-claimed from a former railway carriage. The striking and unusual hardwood stairway with solid steps and curved handrail, was carved from a tree from Cricket St. Thomas by the previous vendor who was a carpenter. A door leads into the kitchen/dining room that has a slate floor and has been fitted with floor and wall units, work surfaces, 1½ bowl ceramic sink with a boil tap. The Stoves gas range cooker with ovens and 7 ring hob has been inset with a beam over and there is space for a dishwasher and American style fridge/freezer. The good sized sitting room has oak flooring, stone fireplace with a wood burner and a built-in cupboard with the top finished with period hand made tiles. The garden room/conservatory is currently being used as a utility room and is fitted with cupboards and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. A door leads to the rear garden and terrace.

First Floor
On the first floor the main bedroom has a hot and cold water feed giving the future owner of the house the option to extend over the top of the garden room/conservatory and create an en suite bathroom if required. The second bedroom has a feature window dating back to the original build in the 1800\‘s with exposed stone reveal. Bedroom three has room for a double bed but is currently being used as an office. The bathroom is fitted with a \‘p\‘ shaped bath with a mains shower over and glass screen, wash hand basin, wc, vanity light and shaver socket.

Second Floor
A turning staircase leads to the second floor. It has a large storage cupboard with plenty of storage space. The fourth bedroom was formerly the attic and is a good size. It has restricted head height with exposed beams and a window at one end.

There is parking for several cars and gives access to the garage, which has an up and over door, power, light and a pedestrian door to the rear garden.

Low steps lead to the top terrace, which again is mainly laid to lawn. At the rear is a large summerhouse that has been constructed from timber, is insulated and has power and lighting, externally and internally.
