Merle Cottage is a two-bedroom detached home arranged over two floors, offering genuine period character with exposed beams and traditional half-timbered detailing. The living room with French doors flows into a separate dining room, and a sizable kitchen/breakfast room provides practical family space. Outside, a rear garden of approximately 23m includes a pond and driveway for off-street parking.
The upstairs layout includes two bedrooms plus a dressing room and useful eaves storage, giving flexible options for a home office or walk-in wardrobe. Local amenities and several well-rated primary and secondary schools are within easy reach, making the property suitable for families who value village convenience and community services.
Buyers should note the house dates from the mid 20th century and, while double glazed, the cavity walls are assumed uninsulated and the main heating is an oil-fired boiler — both factors that may affect running costs. The property shows signs of age and will need maintenance and updating in places; the thatched/period exterior and ivy suggest attention to upkeep. Council tax is above average and the plot is relatively small compared with the overall house size.
