A PRETTY CHARACTER COTTAGE SITTING IN A LEAFY LANE OVERLOOKING OPEN FIELDS TO FRONT AND REAR - Guide Price ?525,000

DESCRIPTION

As Sole Agents we are delighted to present this character property which has been renovated by the present owners. The accommodation is arranged over three floors with a comfortable Sitting Room on the ground floor leading into a Kitchen/Diner. There are two Bedrooms and a Family Bathroom on the first floor with the added benefit of a 24' Loft Room on the second floor which would make an ideal home office or studio. Throughout the cottage retains many original features such as the stripped floors, pine internal doors and Victorian fireplaces. The pretty courtyard garden provides a perfect setting for outdoor entertaining. The current owners have recently acquired a substantial section of the rear field along with the adjoining cottages. Each section of rear garden with be individually fenced by each of the owner/occupiers. In our opinion this will be a true feature of the cottage providing a perfect open space in which to perhaps convert to an allotment or just an area to sit and enjoy the peace of the surrounding countryside. Please call Ibbett Mosely on 01959 522164 for details of the forthcoming OPEN HOUSE EVENT
