This week's property of the week, being sold by award-winning agents Sam Chivers, is a rural village cottage with lots of character and a surprising amount of space.

Not least a south facing and long long garden.

As the agents themselves say, this village cottage in Tunley, is a real surprise and really does underline the statement to "Never judge a book by its cover".

So although the home does front into the road in Tunley - and could be considered not to be the prettiest - once you step through the front door and to the rear it is a different world.

The cottage is absolutely packed with character and the present owners have lovingly restored many of its original features.

For gardeners there is a south facing rear garden which measures approximately 170 feet.

There are two receptions, a feature log burner to the main lounge, a study, a fitted kitchen, a handy ground floor cloakroom and conservatory opening onto the enclosed garden. On the first floor there are two double bedrooms and a newly fitted shower room. The property is offered for sale for £215,000 with no onward chain
