A DELIGHTFULLY LOCATED AND MUCH IMPROVED PERIOD COTTAGE, SET IN A VIRTUALLY TRAFFIC-FREE VILLAGE “END” AMONGST OPEN COUNTRYSIDE. IDEAL FOR THOSE WHO ENJOY THE BEST IN COUNTRY LIVING.

A rarely available cottage set in “East End” which is a unique and peaceful location on the edge of this un-spoilt village. Set half a mile off the approach road to North Crawley, the “End” consists of just a handful of cottages and farmhouses and is surrounded by open countryside. Of particular note, there are several footpaths and bridleways within yards, all offering access to delightful walks. There is abundant wildlife and little light pollution – properties in this type of location are few and far between and a viewing is recommended to appreciate the setting and lifestyle it offers.

Over the last two years the owners have carried out many improvements which include new central heating, new fitted kitchen and bathroom along with new carpets and tiled flooring and heritage style cottage windows.

Outside, the cottage is set back from the lane and is shielded by mature trees and has a generous sized front garden with two private parking spaces and pathway to the front door. There is a pleasant rear garden with lawns and trees including Cox’s and Russett apple varieties.

Planning permission has been granted to have two extensions for a second shower room/dressing area and an enlarged dining room and main bedroom. Planning ref with
