Description

One Firs Cottage is a semi-detached period dwelling, which has been sympathetically extended in recent years.  Whilst attached to another cottage, it has the feeling of a detached dwelling, with gardens facing to the south and west.  The cottage is of brick and timber-framed construction with rendered elevations under a tiled roof.  Internally, it offers good-sized accommodation, particularly on the ground floor with its spacious sitting room, dining room, kitchen, utility area and shower room.  On the first floor are two double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a bathroom.  Of particular note is the central heating system.  Whilst there is an electric boiler, this is connected to a multi-fuel stove in the sitting room and the vendors tend to draw all of their heating and hot water from the stove rather than the boiler.  The cottage stands in lovely gardens, with views over open farmland, and benefits from two outbuildings and off-road parking for three vehicles.
