£600,000 - £635,000 (Guide Price)
Orchard Cottage is a charming thatched and timber-framed property occupying a 0.32-acre plot (STS), set within the pretty village of Glatton. Standing within the village conservation area, this Grade II listed cottage dates from the early 17th century. The property has been further extended over the centuries, offering over 1830 sqft of accommodation on two levels retaining many original features, including the timber framework, sliding sash windows and Inglenook fireplace.

On the ground floor, there is a sitting room and a separate living room complete with Inglenook and a wood-burning stove. A recess to the side of the fireplace is currently used as a music area. The dining kitchen is the home's centre point and is fitted with a range of wooden units. Hardwood work surfaces incorporate a Belfast sink and a freestanding gas cooker recessed into the Inglenook. Beyond the kitchen, a utility room houses the oil-fired central heating boiler, additional wooden storage units, and work surface space. Beyond the utility room is a rear hallway, providing access to the rear garden and creating a link to the studio/annexe, which has a degree of independence from the main house. The studio would make an ideal place to work from home or a perfect double bedroom with a vaulted ceiling and en-suite shower room.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing has a window overlooking the rear garden and provides access to all three double bedrooms and the family bathroom. The principal bedroom has windows to three sides and an ensuite bathroom with a modern three-piece white suite, including a sunken bathtub. The second bedroom has a built-in wardrobe, and the third bedroom has a mezzanine which is ideal for additional storage. The family bathroom has a three piece white quite including a bath with shower fixture above.

Outside, a gravelled sweeping driveway leads to the detached double garage with up-and-over doors, power, lighting and attic storage. The rear garden is laid mainly to lawn with shaped mature borders consisting of a variety of flowers, shrubs, trees and bushes. Beyond is a sunken pond with steps leading to the water. There is a summer house with power, lighting, insulation and doubler glazing overlooking the pond, which is currently being used as a home office by the vendor. A kitchen garden with raised beds is located to the side of the house.
