Description

Located in a prime position just off the village green, 2 Crooked Corner is a charming three double bedroom cottage presented in excellent order throughout. The property has been cleverly extended over the years to create a sublime home in this peaceful pocket of the village.

The porch opens to the sitting room with wooden flooring and a fireplace with wood burning stove. A cosy yet deceptively spacious room with a lovely feel to it.

Of particular note is the expansive open-plan kitchen / dining room, which has a good range of fitted units and is located at the rear of the property with doors opening out on to the private garden. A great room which is perfectly set up for family meals and entertaining. The ground floor accommodation is completed by the shower room with W.C.

The first floor has a large landing with the generous main bedroom located at the rear of the cottage with a vaulted ceiling and delightful views over the rear garden. The front bedroom also enjoys a spectacular vista overlooking St. Michaels Church and these are served by the well-appointed family bathroom. Stairs lead up to the second floor where there is a further double bedroom.

Outside

To the rear of the property and accessed via French doors leading from the kitchen/dining room, is a charming cottage garden. With patio area immediately to the rear, steps lead up to the garden which has been attractively planted with a fabulous range of flowers, shrubs and trees and is fully enclosed. A paved seating area located half way down the garden provides an excellent space for relaxing and entertaining in the summer months. A path then winds down to the bottom of the garden where there is a good sized garden storage unit. An EV charging point has been installed at the front of the property, as have 6 solar panels and a battery that feeds the house and back to the grid.
