Character cottage in friendly village

An immaculate village property with a lovely garden, Thames Cottage, Roos, is full of character.

Successfully blending traditional country-cottage charm with contemporary styling, this two-bedroom home is within easy reach of the village centre and local primary school.

Deceptively spacious from outward appearances, early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the delights of this homely residence.

The current owners have lived in, and loved, Thames Cottage, for seven years but are looking to relocate, hence their decision to leave behind their happy home.

"The village is absolutely lovely and everyone is so friendly," said the vendor.

"It's got a great primary school and a wonderful butcher's, plus two pubs.

"It's in a rural location but very handy for travelling into Hull."

As for the cottage itself, the vendors think the new owners will find there is little, if anything, to do on moving in.

"The cottage had been completely renovated before we moved in.

"It's got that feel of a traditional cottage – it is more than 100 years old – with its character beams and big open fireplace, but it's got all the requirements for modern living.

"The house has a lovely big garden and we look out over open cornfields."

The vendor said: "It could be the perfect place for first-time buyers (as we were) because it's in that sort of price bracket; it could suit a single professional person or someone who is downsizing from a larger property.

"The cottage suits so many different types of people."

Being very well presented throughout, Thames Cottage briefly comprises a lounge, s superb L-shaped kitchen-diner with French doors onto the garden, two bedrooms and a bathroom.
