GENERAL COMMENTS
2 Higher Cottages is a handsome stone-fronted cottage that has been comprehensively and sympathetically updated. The result is a warm and cohesive home in which exposed beams, deep window reveals, traditional ledged doors and a brick fireplace are paired with muted colours, Shaker-style cabinetry and contemporary fittings.
The ground floor is arranged around two generous rooms. The sitting/dining room combines comfortable living and dining space around a wood-burning stove, while the adjoining kitchen/breakfast room offers extensive storage, timber work surfaces and a breakfast bar. Upstairs are two double bedrooms, a versatile third bedroom and an unusually spacious bathroom with a freestanding roll-top bath and rainfall shower. There are modern electric radiators throughout.
The accommodation is complemented by a tiered rear garden with mature boundaries and an outlook over adjoining fields. A detached garage and former allotment area add valuable parking, storage and outdoor space.
