The property
Nestled into a lovely secluded spot behind the High Street, ‘Red Lion Cottage’ is an interesting and unique detached property; formerly a coach house with hayloft over, the cottage now offers surprisingly spacious accommodation which is extremely adaptable, making it ideal if catering for the ever changing needs of family life. The layout of the accommodation also offers scope if catering for extended family or equally well suited to use as a B&B if desired. The accommodation offers a wealth of traditional features throughout whilst the external space is a real surprise. A large, sheltered garden lies towards the rear of the property with wooded back drop and absolute privacy, an unusual find for a property in such a convenient central location.

The canopied front entrance door opens into an interesting split level entrance hall with windows to the front and the staircase extending to the upper floor. The family dining kitchen really is the hub of the home; this spacious and sociable room features double doors which lead directly out to the gardens beyond. Presented in farmhouse style, the room is completed by the recessed gas stove to one wall with feature fireplace whilst the walk in pantry provides a very useful facility. A rear hall which extends off the entrance gives access to both downstairs bedrooms; the larger of the two could easily be used as a downstairs sitting room if preferred as it is nicely positioned to one end of the cottage with windows on two sides which ensure plenty of natural light. The second of the bedrooms is a pleasant double with front facing aspect. The first of three bathrooms is location on the ground floor and is tiled to dado height and fitted with a white three piece suite with shower over the bath.

To the opposite end of the upstairs accommodation the landing leads to the sitting room, which is a particularly spacious, light and airy room with windows on three sides.
