PERIOD GEM IN A TUCKED AWAY, YET HIGHLY CONVENIENT TOWN CENTRE LOCATION WITH CHARMING GARDENS <br/>AND GLORIOUS VIEWS ACROSS PROTECTED COUNTRYSIDE ....<br/><br/>Believed to date back to the 17th century, this most charming Grade II listed attached period cottage occupies a delightful, quiet and secluded position adjacent to The Nower and close to the town centre. Rich in character and history, the property displays an abundance of original period features, while the present owners have thoughtfully and sympathetically enhanced the accommodation to create a superb home that successfully blends traditional charm with the comforts expected for modern-day living. A welcoming entrance hall leads to the beautifully appointed kitchen/breakfast room, undoubtedly one of the principal features of the house. This impressive space enjoys a vaulted ceiling, attractive stone flooring, a double aspect and an excellent range of traditional-style cabinetry complemented by granite work surfaces. A contemporary shower room is conveniently accessed from the kitchen. The remainder of the ground floor offers two delightful reception rooms, both displaying exposed ceiling timbers and wood-burning stoves, creating warm and inviting living spaces. In addition, there is a versatile guest bedroom with built-in wardrobes and an en-suite shower room, together with a study, while access is also provided to the cellar, currently utilised as a practical utility room. The first floor comprises the principal bedroom, benefiting from Jack and Jill access to the family bathroom, together with a further double bedroom featuring built-in wardrobes. Outside, the gardens are a particular delight and are entirely in keeping with the character of the cottage. An attractive paved terrace leads onto beautifully maintained lawns bordered by established flower and shrub beds, together with mature hedging providing an excellent degree of privacy. A detached summer house with an adjoining veranda offers a wonderful retreat from which to enjoy the delightful outlook across the adjoining protected countryside. To the front of the property, a private driveway provides off-road parking.<br/><br/>
