Property Details
DESCRIPTION
A linked period cottage which is believed to date back in part at least 400 years and has performed a number of important functions within the village, including being a forge. The house was extended in the early 1800s and more recently by the present owners, who have also tastefully modernised the property throughout whilst retaining the period charm and character. The property is constructed of mainly cream washed brick and smooth rendered elevations beneath a slate roof and benefits from oil fired central heating with under floor heating to most of the ground floor. The well balanced accommodation in brief, comprises three reception rooms (the sitting room featuring a fine inglenook fireplace), a well fitted kitchen with integral appliances and solid beech work surfaces, a lobby leading to a utility and ground floor cloakroom. To the first floor there is a master bedroom with fine vaulted ceiling and en suite shower room, three further bedrooms and a family bathroom with free-standing four claw roll top bath. The property stands in an attractively landscaped garden with off-road parking
Agent’s Note: To fully appreciate this fantastic opportunity to purchase in the Woodford Valley, a viewing is essential. It may also be of interest that the property is currently a successful holiday let and could continue to do so.
