It's hard not to fall in love with The Cabin just from the photos alone. I can almost smell the jam being cooked over the Aga in the kitchen, or hear the sound of a crackling fire from the Inglenook fireplace as it lights up the cosy living room; muddy wellies piled up outside the back door after a walk through the country lanes.
Currently on the market with Michael Graham for offers in excess of £550,000, The Cabin is a cute as they come.
It is the type of property one would imagine to live within the pages of a children's story book, or the setting for a Christmas rom-com much like in The Holiday.
It is a quintessential chocolate box house, with exposed beams decorating every ceiling, with cosy — yet light filled rooms that are true to its style, without feeling stuffy or dated.
Grade II listed, the property is composed of stone under a thatched roof, with exposed floor boards in the bedrooms and bathrooms. The upstairs accommodation is made up of two double bedrooms and a family sized bathroom.
Downstairs is a kitchen/breakfast room with an oil fired Aga plus electric hob; a sitting room with an Inglenook fireplace and bread oven; a dining room — which has a stable door that leads out onto the garden, and a utility room and cloakroom.
Although compact, the cottage comes with 0.34 acres of lawned gardens and fruit trees – including Mulberry. There is also a single garage located to the rear of the property.
The Cabin is currently on the market via Michael Graham for offers in excess of £550,000 — see more pictures, or enquire with the agent for further details.
