DESCRIPTION

Linden Cottage is a detached Grade II listed house of brick, beamed and flint-rendered elevations under a recently re-thatched roof and relieved by timber paned casement windows. This impressive period property enjoys an abundance of character features throughout including exposed beam ceilings and feature fireplaces. At just over 2300 square feet, the house provides both generous and well-proportioned accommodation and at the same time retains that cosy cottage feel.

There is a good-sized family kitchen/breakfast room which has a range of floor and wall mounted units along with fitted appliances and a larder. Both the dining room, with wonderful Inglenook fireplace, and the drawing room are located at the front of the property and offer superb places to entertain guests.

The spacious sitting room (which could be sectioned off and made into a fourth bedroom) is located at the end of the house and opens onto the conservatory and garden beyond. The well-appointed bathroom and separate shower room complete the downstairs accommodation. There are two staircases, one of which takes you to the main bedroom, dressing area and ensuite bathroom. The other takes you to a landing off which you access both other double bedrooms.

OUTSIDE

The house is approached via electric gates and the gravelled driveway leads to the detached garage and parking area, where there is room for numerous cars. The property is surrounded by its garden, which is beautifully landscaped offering fully stocked borders and an impressive array of mature trees and shrubs. The garden is mainly laid to lawn and there is a lovely terrace located off the conservatory, perfectly set up for outdoor entertaining. There is a greenhouse/potting shed and a garden shed currently being used as a workshop. The utility room is located next to the garage.
