Property description

A Grade II listed attached part thatched cottage set back from the road within private gardens of approximately 0.21 acres.

The cottage originally dates from the 17th century and has been refurbished by the vendors in the last eight years. Careful attention has been taken to blend period features, which include exposed beams and timbers and an inglenook fireplace, with modern day amenities including a fitted oak kitchen, contemporary style white sanitaryware and underfloor heating on the ground floor. The 1,730 sq. ft. of accommodation includes a sitting room and dining room separated by a beamed opening, a separate breakfast room, the kitchen and a utility/boot room on the ground floor. There are four bedrooms, one with a walk-in wardrobe, and a bathroom on the first floor. The property has a driveway with parking for six cars as well as a double garage which has twin up and over doors, a separate workshop area, gas fired boiler and pressurised hot water cylinder, a sink and a door to the rear garden.

Kitchen and Breakfast Room

The kitchen is fitted in a range of oak units with granite work surfaces. There is space for a range cooker with an extractor over, a fridge/freezer and an integrated dishwasher. Exposed limestone flooring continues into the breakfast room which has exposed painted beams and a part glazed door to the rear garden. Both rooms have dual aspect windows and are separated by a wall incorporating a tropical fish tank.

Rear Garden

A gated side access leads to the rear garden which is fully enclosed by close boarded fencing. There is a decked area enclosed by a dwarf hedge, and a paved outdoor seating area. The rest of the garden is principally lawned with established, shaped borders and mature trees. There is a Cedar summerhouse with power connected and a raised seating area. A gated area at the side has raised vegetable beds.
