With a thatched roof and whitewashed exterior, the cottage exudes charm and appeal. Though it could do with some modernisation inside in terms of décor, it’s well-maintained.

The accommodation is cosy, measuring 613 sq ft, but a number of stone outbuildings on the grounds offer the potential for further living or storage space, subject to planning permission.

Stepping inside, the sitting room features timber panelled ceilings, timber floors and sash windows, and offers a homely place to unwind. The kitchen/dining area is inviting, with feature exposed stonework, a wooden mantle with a Stanley range cooker where the fireplace used to be, and a bay window with shutters.

Moving down the hallway, the bathroom is in excellent condition and includes a power shower and heated towel rail. Completing the accommodation is the double bedroom which enjoys a great deal of natural light thanks to a picture sash window. There’s laminate flooring in here, while the ceiling is finished with timber panelling.

Rich in old-world charm and character, Candy Cottage is sure to be a sweet deal for the right buyer.
