AN HISTORIC AND PRETTY GRADE II LISTED FIVE BEDROOM COTTAGE ENJOYING A PRIVATE POSITION PROTECTED BY ITS WALLED GROUNDS IN THE OLD PART OF THE VILLAGE

The launch of Mulso Cottage to the market offers purchasers the first opportunity to acquire the cottage in 40 years. The property is set back from the road and enjoys an elevated position within walled grounds with pretty south facing garden and sheltered courtyard for outdoor entertaining. Retaining all of its period features, this charming cottage will need to be viewed to fully appreciate not only the quality and extent of accommodation but the lifestyle opportunities on offer.

Double doors open to reveal the tiled reception hall lying in the heart of the property with attractive wooden staircase gently rising to the two upper floors. The two well proportioned principal reception rooms lie on the front elevation with sitting room enjoying a double aspect with pine shutters and window seat in the front window. The focal point of the room is a working cut stone fireplace.

The atmospheric dining room includes fireplace, display shelving in an arched recess along with recessed glass cupboard and corner drinks cabinet. Across the hall is the cloakroom and under stairs walk-in cupboard with shelving which currently doubles up as a pantry and coats cupboard.

Situated in the rear part of the property is the breakfast/family room with feature stone fireplace and full height recessed pine cupboard offering generous storage and hides the former serving hatch.

The shaker kitchen overlooks and has direct access into the attractive, slightly raised, courtyard garden. The two ovened gas fired aga provides cooking facilities with back boiler heating one of the two immersion tanks. The Bosch dishwasher is integrated and adjoining are two cupboards, one having plumbing for a washing machine and the other housing the gas fired boiler.

The first floor landing lies in the heart of the house with cloakroom off. The principal bedroom enjoys a double aspect with both windows having window seats with westerly view across to the attractive church tower. The original wide floorboards still remain and a Jack and Jill shower room, which doubles up as a dressing room, serves the two front bedrooms.

Lying in the rear wing is a further double bedroom and recently refurbished part-tiled family bathroom along with separate glazed shower cubicle.

On the second floor are two further double bedrooms ideally suited for children or guests served by a further bathroom.

OUTSIDE

The cottage is set in a delightful walled garden enjoying a southerly westerly aspect and a pair of electric gates open onto the block paved drive that gently rises up to the detached double garage accessed via two up and over doors, one being slightly oversized and the far end is used as a workshop and utility room. A potting shed and greenhouse lie to side of the drive.

The south facing front lawn is edged by stocked herbaceous borders offering a profusion of colour during the summer months. In opposite corners are a seating/dining terrace and Scotts of Thrapston summerhouse.

The west facing rear courtyard garden is edged by raised borders and stone table, chairs and bench seating lie on the raised section for outdoor dining.
