A superb character house, thought to date back to 16th century, offering attractive, four bedroom accommodation, plus a detached annex, set in the heart of this desirable conservation village.
Michaelmas Cottage is thought to have been a number of cottages at one time and dating from the 16th Century, with a two storey, Georgian extension to the rear. The property is Listed, Grade II. In the past, it has been the village post office and shop, and the annex, which was former stabling and coach house, was used by the WRVS to distribute food during the war.
The house now provides comfortable, family accommodation, set over two floors, with plenty of character, such as quarry tiled floors, open fireplaces and exposed beams. The rooms are well-proportioned and due to the layout, there is a degree of flexibility in how each can be used. The cellars and the external workshop, provide useful storage space.
The annex offers a host of possibilities, either for housing a relative, a gym or home working.
The spacious hall has a traditional quarry tiled floor. There is a feature fireplace to the corner.
The kitchen/breakfast room offers ample space for family mealtimes. The fitted base units provide ample storage and have granite work-surfaces and a breakfast bar. The Aga is a focal point and creates a cosy heart to the home. There are additional cooking facilities in an electric oven and hob. There is an integrated fridge and a dishwasher. There is space for a table and chairs. A door opens to the garden.
The cellar is a warm and useful storage space and contains the recently installed heating and hot water systems.
The first-floor landing offers access to each of the four, double bedrooms. Three of the bedrooms over-look the village, whilst the main bedroom has a view over the garden. The family bathroom is beautifully fitted with twin wash basins, a free-standing bath and a WC. There is a great shower room adjacent with large, walk-in shower, WC and wash basin.
The former coach house is set across the drive and offers superb annex accommodation, ideal for a dependent relative, guest accommodation or even an office suite. The current layout includes a kitchen/diner with living room on the ground floor, and a study landing, bedroom and en suite shower room on the first floor.
Gates open from the road, to provide parking within the garden. At the back of the coach house, the former stable makes a superb workshop/store. The garden is laid to lawn.
