Wayside Cottage is an attractive period house conveniently situated in the middle of the village. The house is believed to date from the late 18th Century and was originally a farmhouse with a thatched barn which was later incorporated into the main house. The property is presented in very good order and is full of character and charm, with versatile accommodation. There is a fabulous drawing room with a vaulted ceiling and attractive fireplace, and French doors leading out to the terrace. There is also a cosy family room/snug, as well as a charming sitting room. The kitchen/breakfast room is well fitted with painted wooden cabinets and an Aga range cooker, and steps lead down to the cellar/larder store. Adjoining the drawing room is a good-sized study/office, as well as a utility room with backdoor to the garden, and a cloakroom. Upstairs there are four bedrooms, including the main bedroom with en suite shower room, and a family bathroom. Planning permission has been granted for a rear ground floor extension to create a glass walkway and garden room. Interested parties are requested to make their own enquiries of the local planning authority.
