Situated on a no through road, Pickles Cottage is an enchanting, quirky, fully restored Grade II listed 15th century 3 double bedroom thatched cottage which has been lived in by the same family since the 1880's and owned since 1956. Standing on a secluded mature plot of 0.5 acre sts with stunning far reaching views to Hedingham Castle 5 miles away. Also has two beautifully decorated outbuildings in the grounds , one single storey used as a glamping barn and the other two storey with potential to convert to self contained annex's or holiday cottages.
The garden is set to attract butterflies and honey bees ,there is also a 7m oval koi carp pond with waterfall which is currently used as a summer plunge pool, attracting many dragonflies in the summer. The mature plot has a wonderful variety of trees, fruit, native and non native including a 100 year old conference pear tree, cherry ,plum, greengage , bramley apple and blackberry bushes. A large Monkey Puzzle tree of over 40 years old is in the front garden, with Lime, Oak, Horse Chestnut, Copper Beech, Sycamore and Maple placed around the garden.
The property was lovingly and traditionally fully restored at no expense spared 20 years ago by the current owner and boasts a wealth of character in every room, including beams, brick floor pamments, original 12 " wide Elm bedroom floor boards, large inglenook fireplaces, vaulted ceilings and more. All chimneys have been professionally lined and are swept each year before use. The largest inglenook in the middle of the house has a 12kw Clear view multifuel stove and the heat is so good it heats the majority of the house and is easily kept in overnight to keep the heat going 24/7 at a very reasonable cost, much cheaper than oil central heating. There is electric heating in the bathroom.
The gated driveway has parking for four cars , more if needed by extending into the orchard when dry for summer parties.

Please note majority of furniture in rooms has now been sold, so will be empty when viewing and some furniture in bedrooms will be left for new owner.
