Dulcima Cottage is a four double bedroom detached 17th century thatched cottage, when the property was a pair of cottages. Now stands a stunning imposing home set on a generous plot of over a quarter of an acre with landscaped gardens and a detached open fronted garage with storage over. Internally there is an exquisite blend of original character features, complimented with a double extension to the rear. The cottage offers a wealth of original features including exposed beams, 2 open fireplaces, and oak floorboards. In contrast, the kitchen/family room (with aluminium-framed bifold doors to the terrace) and high quality Duravit bathrooms are of a contemporary design. Having been a holiday let for many years this property has been tastefully designed with comfort and family in mind, and decorated with a stylish finish.
