A timber framed unlisted country cottage with annexe in about 0.3 acres.
This delightfully positioned and presented property is ideal for multi-generational living with the inclusion of a detached annexe. The property offers characterful and spacious living with great outdoor space including a large veranda.
This property has a warm and inviting atmosphere. With its unique white weatherboarding exterior, this three bedroom detached home exudes charm and character. Perfectly suited for a family, the accommodation features an L- shaped open-plan kitchen with a walk-in pantry and dining area with French windows leading onto the veranda, serving as the heart of the house. A spacious living room, complete with a wood-burning stove, also opens onto the veranda, allowing for seamless indoor-outdoor living. The ground floor is further enhanced by a separate utility room and a WC. Upstairs, there are three double bedrooms. The principal bedroom has an en suite bathroom, while a well-appointed family bathroom caters to the needs of the household.
Outside
The property has two outbuildings. The first is a detached one bedroom annexe, perfect for multi-generational living for an elderly relative or younger family member. The second is a versatile timber-framed barn with two separate double-door entrances and separate power. One of the areas can easily be adapted into a home office if desired. Ample storage space is available in the roof area, ensuring your belongings are well organised. The driveway provides parking for up to six cars, accommodating the needs of both residents and guests. At the rear of the property, a generous garden overlooked by the veranda, is predominantly laid to lawn with some established trees including a beautiful Willow, offering unobstructed views of the neighbouring farmland.
