A picture-perfect stone-built cottage which has recently benefitted from a double storey extension, installation of high quality fixtures and fittings, and has then been finished to an impeccable standard throughout. This beautiful home briefly comprises entrance porch, living room, dining kitchen, boot room with access to a w.c., storeroom/study, and utility room to the ground floor, whilst on the first floor you will find a large principal bedroom accessed through a spacious home office/nursery, a second double bedroom, and bathroom. Externally, there are ample gardens, and nearby garage. There is good access down into the village where you will find an array of shops and amenities, and for those who enjoy the outdoors, there are plenty of public footpaths over nearby countryside and up onto the Pennine hills.
