Charming period cottage in a glorious rural setting being sold with no onward chain.
Description
The cottage was built in c.1540 with modern additions and occupies a glorious rural setting in the hamlet of Blackmore End with an established plot of approaching 0.4 of an acre.
Little Thatch is a Grade II listed timber frame building with plastered elevations under a steep 'catslide' thatched roof, with a modern link joining an existing and renovated timber frame addition with an attractive mansard tiled roof.
The accommodation offers many fine period features associated with its age including exposed timbers and an open fireplace. The property provides flowing ground floor reception space and four first bedrooms with the principal bedroom separate from the remaining rooms offering an ideal wing for extended family living.
The property is entered via a small inner lobby opening to a charming beamed downstairs bathroom. The sitting room is positioned at the side of the house and is a welcoming generously sized room with original beams and stairs leading to three of the bedrooms. The feature of this room is the beautiful brick inglenook fireplace. The dining room is a comfortable room enjoying a brick inglenook fireplace with brick hearth and cast iron canopy. The room has been thoughtfully configured with a breakfast area and study recess. Beyond is a practical utility room. The kitchen is a stunning space with a modern kitchen with appliances. The room enjoys a triple aspect with views over the established gardens. Stairs lead to the principle bedroom with a modern en suite shower facilities
Outside
The property is approached over a rural lane via a gated driveway. The property sits comfortably within its plot with the gardens mainly laid to lawn with established mature fruit trees and shrubs including a beautiful willow tree. In April 2018 the property had the benefit of approved planning permission for a double cart lodge under application number 8/00742/FUL, for which the groundwork is in place.
