INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPERTY FROM OUR VENDOR
About the property
A wonderful Grade II listed cottage which still reveals its original structure of a brick ground floor with a timber framed upper storey and a crown post roof truss in the attic room.
The front door leads directly into an impressive sitting room, with carved high ceiling beams and exposed brickwork. There is a large feature inglenook fireplace, under stairs storage cupboard and an insulated wooden floor.
A quarry tiled walkway leads into the kitchen, which is an interesting mix of traditional and contemporary. The vaulted ceiling and original diamond pattern brickwork above the cooker contrast well with the painted Orwell fitted kitchen, stainless steel worktops and bespoke larder cupboard with fridge below.
A stable door leads to the the garden/utility room. Within this glass roofed extension there is a small cloakroom, space for a washing machine, painted wooden floor and a half glazed stable back-door, which leads to the garden.
The stairs rise from the sitting room to the timber framed first floor. The landing is well presented with character and space. Doors open onto two bedrooms, which have front facing windows and a contemporary fitted shower room. From the landing an open stairway leads to the attic space/third bedroom. This room has a fully vaulted ceiling with a rare crown post standing centrally on a tie beam. There is a small window to the side and a conservation roof-light to the rear. The floor is painted board and there are cupboards within the eaves.
To the rear of the property is a gravel pathway leading to an enclosed garden with a patio area, lawn and wide herbaceous border.
