Fiddlesticks is one of the hidden gems of the village, tucked away in a private location almost invisible from the road, yet a stone’s throw of the open forest and local shop.

The property dates back several hundred years and is full of charm and character. With a welcoming covered front porch, impressive inglenook fireplace, beams and wooden floors the property offers a wealth of original features. The living room is the hub of the house with an inglenook fireplace as the main feature along with exposed beams, and wood floors. A door leads through to the study and stairs lead to a large landing and bedroom.

The remainder of the accommodation is on the ground floor including the main double bedroom with views to the grounds. The bedroom benefits from fitted wardrobes as well as an en suite shower room. The second bedroom also offers views to the rear and has further fitted storage and use of the family bathroom. The main bathroom comprises a bath with shower over, fitted vanity unit with basin, WC and bidet.

The main kitchen/dining area is a good open plan entertaining space with double doors out to the front, views to the attractive rear garden and access through to the conservatory. The kitchen is well fitted with bespoke fitted wooden base and wall units and offers an array of fitted appliances including an electric hob and extractor hood, oven, microwave and dishwasher. The addition of a spacious conservatory enables a quiet sunny area to sit and enjoy some peace and quiet whilst admiring the garden views. 

The property is located very close to the open forest and is approached via a five bar gate to the large gravelled driveway providing ample parking for several cars. The front of the property has an area of raised lawn with a central pathway leading to the front door. A pedestrian gate leads from the driveway through to the rear garden which is mainly laid to lawn with a small pond and range of herbaceous borders and shrubs to the boundaries providing a good degree of privacy. There is a small orchard area at the bottom of the garden.
