Property description

A Grade II listed 18th-century two bedroom thatched cottage with off street parking and an enclosed garden situated on a quiet lane in the village of Aspley Guise.

Built in the 1700s, this detached cottage has over 890 sq. ft. of accommodation set over two floors and retains many original features including: latched doors, multi-pane glazed windows, exposed original beams, and an enclosed and established cottage garden. An entrance porch with windows opens into the sitting room which has a multi-fuel burner. A latched door from the sitting room accesses the dining room. There is a bespoke country style kitchen with a quarry tiled floor, fitted with a range of base and wall units and appliances. This has a door to the garden and an internal door to an inner lobby which opens to the refurbished shower room. An adjacent utility room has base units with an inset sink and a door to a further dual aspect, glazed roofed utility area. The first floor landing leads to two dual aspect double bedrooms. The rear cottage garden has block paved and shingled areas, mature planting, a pergola, and a BBQ area. There is driveway parking for four cars.
