Cornerways is a deceptive three-bedroom cottage that marries period character with contemporary upgrades. Exposed beams and trusses give the principal rooms a charming, historic feel while an upgraded open-plan kitchen, stylish bathrooms and a detached timber garden room meet modern family and home‑working needs. The property comes with off-street parking, a detached garage with workshop space and a raised decking area ideal for alfresco entertaining.
Set on a well‑landscaped, private plot with mature planting and timber fencing, the garden offers a variety of outdoor spaces: decking, a sunken seating area and a mainly lawned expanse suitable for children or entertaining. A timber-framed garden room with power provides a ready-made home office or studio, adding versatility without internal alterations. The home is offered freehold, chain free and with vacant possession.
Practical details that matter: the house has oil-fired boiler and underfloor heating, an easement permitting rear access for maintenance, and a layout that includes a through/connecting bedroom which may suit some families but limit configuration options. Local services are typical for an established village community — good broadband and mobile signal, nearby primary and secondary schooling options, and leisure amenities within the area.
Overall this is a well-maintained, characterful detached cottage for buyers seeking a peaceful rural home with contemporary comforts, useful outbuildings and scope to adapt spaces further. Buyers should note the oil heating arrangement and the easement when considering running costs and long-term plans.
