About this property

Charming Period Bungalow with Character Features

Tucked away in a peaceful village setting, this delightful single-storey cottage, built of traditional brick and flint, is believed to date back approximately 150 years. Originally serving as the woodwork shop for the former village school, the property is steeped in history and brimming with charm.

Beautifully presented throughout, the cottage boasts high vaulted ceilings with exposed timbers that enhance the sense of space and character. The spacious sitting/dining room features a cosy wood-burning stove—perfect for relaxing evenings.

The accommodation includes a well-appointed kitchen, a family bathroom, and two generous double bedrooms, one of which offers potential for division to create a third bedroom or study, subject to requirements.

Outside, there is off-road parking and a pleasant outdoor space ideal for enjoying the tranquil surroundings. Whether you're seeking a full-time residence or a charming holiday home, this unique property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of village history.
