Charming Grade II listed cottage requiring updating, set within beautiful gardens in a central village location.
Grade II listed Walnut & Well Cottage is a pretty detached property, full of charm and character with beautiful rear secluded gardens. The property dates from the 17th century or earlier and was originally two cottages, both timber framed with plaster infill. The two cottages had different roof levels, the north one being tiled, the south one of Horsham stone slate slab. The house has potential to be a beautiful, central village family home but requires some repair, updating and attention, and is priced accordingly.
This delightful property offers a wealth of period details, including exposed beams throughout, casement windows with secondary glazing and an inglenook fireplace in the sitting room. There is great potential to upgrade and extend the property, subject to obtaining the necessary consents and permissions. As expected with a property of this age and character, there are some low ceilings and reduced head height in some doorways.
The accommodation is mainly arranged over two floors, and the ground floor offers a porch, a large reception hall/study, a sitting room with access to the rear garden, a dining room, a kitchen with dining area and a cloakroom.
There are three good sized bedrooms on the first floor, a large bathroom and a separate shower room. On the second floor there is a fourth spacious attic bedroom with a fixed ladder style access. The floorplans give an excellent overview of the full layout.
The outside space is a particular feature of the property. To the north lies the detached garage, greenhouse, carport and driveway parking; the house and gardens have an extensive high walled frontage to the Street and these outbuildings and surrounding gardens could offer great potential for further development (subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions and consents).
There is a further brick and timber outbuilding with power connected. The west-facing gardens are well-screened, creating privacy, and have well-stocked cottage style beds close to the house, an established orchard area and walled rose garden.
There is an elevated terrace along the west side of the house creating a wonderful spot to enjoy the afternoon and evening sun and the outlook over the expanse of lawn with mature shrubs and trees planted. In all, about 0.29 of an acre.

This is great character property and I really like the potential the outbuildings offer - they've had planning permission granted in the past and could be a really exciting opportunity.
