The property

Enjoying a peaceful village setting with a lovely woodland backdrop, ‘Goldenberry Cottage’ is a particularly deceptive detached property which offers accommodation much larger than first impressions would lead you to believe. The property has been thoughtfully planned with an adaptable layout and the benefit of well proportioned rooms throughout. The dining room provides flexibility and could easily provide a downstairs double bedroom if required whilst the lounge and dining kitchen are both light and airy sociable spaces with direct access to the garden from the dining kitchen. Externally the sheltered gardens are nicely established with a lovely woodland backdrop which also ensures excellent levels of privacy whilst still enjoying sun throughout the day.
