PROPERTY
Mouse House is a beautifully presented character cottage dating back to the early 1800s with red brick elevations beneath a clay tiled roof. The property has been improved by the current owners and finished with real style whilst enjoying many period features including casement windows with monkey tail handles, original doors, beams and exposed brickwork.

The entrance door opens into a generous hall with stairs leading to the first floor straight ahead. On the left is the fantastic new kitchen which looks out onto the garden and is fitted with shaker style wall and base units and quartz worktops. There is an impressive double butler sink and a number of integrated appliances including a fridge-freezer, dish washer, washing machine and wine fridge. Included in the sale is a large range cooker with 4 ring gas hob, griddle, warmer, grill and 2 ovens, ideal for those with a flair for cooking. The living /dining room features a stunning exposed brick fireplace with wood burning stove and fitted cupboards on either side. There is plenty of space for a large sofa and dining table with deep pile carpets making this a cosy living space. A downstairs W.C completes the ground floor accommodation.

The first floor landing leads to two large double bedrooms and a generous family bathroom. The master bedroom is particularly spacious and boasts 3 windows overlooking the wonderful garden and fitted wardrobes. Bedroom 2 is a good sized double and also has fitted cupboards. The bathroom is finished in a classical style with timber panelling and a traditional white suite including bath, pedestal wash basin, W.C. and a separate walk-in shower.

The property benefits from mains gas central heating with a loft that is boarded for storage. There is potential for a loft conversion, which could potentially add a further bedroom and ensuite on the 2nd floor (subject to obtaining any necessary planning consent). The current vendors have obtained Pre-Planning Advice in this regard, which can be shared on request.

OUTSIDE
The property is located in a tucked away position attached to the rear of 11 High Street (Corner Cottage). The entrance door is located at the rear of the property which is accessed via a gated pathway to the right hand side. The garden itself is flat and mostly laid to lawn with plenty of space for children to play. There is an ornamental pond surrounded by low picket fencing and a wide variety of flowering shrubs, plants and trees around the borders providing colour and screening. A patio area offers a nice spot for al fresco entertaining and a timber garden shed provides useful outside storage.

Parking for the property is on street only with unrestricted spaces available on the high street itself.
