Property description
A Grade II listed three double bedroom detached thatched cottage with additional accommodation in a separate timber framed former Forge, driveway parking and approximately 0.2 acres of private formal gardens.
The cottage dates from the 17th century and is timber framed with colour washed rough cast elevations. Period features include exposed beams and timbers, inglenook fireplaces and wooden floorboards that blend with modern amenities. The 1,532 sq. ft. of versatile accommodation includes separate sitting and dining rooms, a modern hardwood and double glazed garden room to the rear, a fitted kitchen and pantry, a shower room and cloakroom. The three double bedrooms are on the first floor. The fully restored Forge is at the front of the property and is of brick, featherboard and timber framed construction. Subject to planning this could be converted into an annexe which could be used for guests or extended family or be used to generate an income. Alternatively, the Forge could be used as a home office, studio, or recreation/games room. The driveway provides parking for two cars and access to the single garage which has an up and over door and power connected. There is also a shed.
Kitchen/Breakfast Room
The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted in a range of custom built cream Shaker style units with complementary work surfaces. Integrated appliances include an electric oven, a hob with extractor, a dishwasher, fridge and washing machine. There are exposed timbers and a quarry tiled floor with underfloor heating. The walk-in pantry houses the gas fired boiler.
Gardens
The gardens surround the cottage to the front, side and rear with the south facing front garden the largest area. The gardens are enclosed by timber fencing and high hedgerow for screening and privacy, and are principally lawned with established borders and trees, including mature fruit trees, and rose beds enclosed by a box hedge. A paved pathway surrounds the cottage and provides access to the garage and rear garden.
