3 bedroom detached house for sale

Sand Cottage is a pretty grade II listed cottage that is believed to date back to the 15th century with later additions. The most recent extension was built in the 1990s, incorporating the study/family room with the bedroom suite above. Even though the cottage has been enlarged over the years, so much of the work has been done in sympathy with the original parts. Today the house is full of extensive oak wall and ceiling beams, oak windows and doors, plus an oak staircase. Two of the principal reception rooms have fireplaces with wood burning stoves and enjoy an outlook over the gardens. On the first floor there are good ceiling heights, which are part vaulted.
