Description
THE PROPERTY
Rectory Cottage is a charming Grade II listed property dating back to circa 1700. Offering spacious accommodation this would make an excellent family home and has been well loved in the owners 45 year stay. The property contains many fine period features with exposed beams, fireplaces and timber flooring to parts.
The kitchen/ breakfast room located in an extension offers a more modern way of living in an older property that is so rarely found. Featuring up to four bedrooms and with two bathrooms upstairs there is ample guest and family space. There is further potential to go into the loft and create another room subject to planning should a buyer wish to create extra accommodation.
OUTSIDE
Situated in grounds of about 2.13 acres gives Rectory Cottage a fantastic amount of privacy. The attractive rear garden features a variety of areas including a small woodland to the rear boundary, large natural pond, outdoor heated swimming pool with patio terrace, vegetable patch and gated paddock with access from the road. There is also a further small paddock to the front of the property.
Ample off road parking is provided via the driveway and double garage with useful workshop behind and store room with extra loft space above.
