A VICTORIAN cottage in Jane Austen country is for sale with agents Lane Fox.

Dormer Cottage, which is in the hamlet of Steventon, is currently on the market at a price guide of £400,000.

The cottage, which stands in an area of outstanding natural beauty, has a basement study.

One of the two ground-floor reception rooms features a fireplace.

The kitchen-breakfast room is adjoined by a utility room, which has a cloakroom and shower room leading off it.

Dormer Cottage has an integral garage and a sun terrace at the back of the property that overlooks a tasteful garden, which is mostly laid to lawn.
