Quintessential English 3 bedroom Grade II Listed country cottage, which offers a wealth of original character and charm, as well as being set within its own substantial plot in excess of an acre and which is located within this well thought of village. Planning permission previously granted for separation of a plot .

Mallard Cottage
From the tiled floored entrance hall there is a doorway leading into the main entrance hall which benefits from exposed timbers to both walls and ceiling. To the left hand side of the hallway there can be found the kitchen/breakfast room which benefits from a range of wall and base units, including integral fridge and separate freezer, plus 1½ bowl sink unit with mixer taps, oven and hob, walk-in pantry with other features of note including exposed timbers to both walls and ceiling and herringbone design brick flooring, with a wealth of natural light provided by windows to both front and side. To the right hand side of the hallway there can be found a dining room which features a wonderful arched exposed brick fireplace, plus exposed timbers to both walls and ceiling. From the dining room there is a doorway leading into the main sitting room, which due to its vaulted ceiling gives a feeling spaciousness and which also benefits from exposed timbers to both walls and ceiling and a good level of light provided by two windows to front plus two further port hole windows to the gable end. To the rear of the property there can be found a sunroom with exposed timbers to both walls and ceiling, with a good level of light provided by the glazed door and expansive glazing which overlooks the rear garden, with other features including a wonderful arched window into the utility room. The utility room houses the oil fired boiler, as well as providing plumbing for washing machine and space for a dryer and tiled flooring. From here there is doorway leading into the family bathroom, comprising wood panel bath with shower attachment and mixer taps, low flush wc, pedestal wash handbasin, plus tiled flooring and window to side.
At first floor level, again there is exposed timbers to both walls and ceiling, as well as doorways leading off to Bedrooms 1 and 3, with Bedroom 1 benefitting from a five door full height and full length fitted wardrobe, as well as exposed timbers, to both walls and ceiling, and recessed lighting. Bedroom 3 benefits from beams to walls. Leading off from Bedroom 1, there can be found a shower room, which comprises shower cubicle, low flush wc, pedestal wash handbasin, as well as Velux style window to rear. From here there is a doorway leading into Bedroom 2, which again features exposed beams to both walls and ceiling, as well as good level of natural light provided by dual aspect windows.

Outside
Mallard Cottage is set well back from roadside and is accessed via driveway which in turn leads to the detached double garage which benefits from light and power, as well as personal door to rear. Leading off from the driveway there is also a brick, block and paved pathway which in turn leads to the main entrance. There is also a large garden to the front to the right hand boundary of which there can be found a large workshop. Toward the rear of the property there is a paved patio area, with lawned garden, with the larger lawned garden beyond this which is accessed via either a choice of either a wooden bridge or separate brick and flint bridge. All of which is enclosed by mainly hedge surround and within which there can be found a further storage shed.
Overall, taking into account the very attractive chocolate box image the property presents both internally and externally, including some subtle features, such as arched windows and fireplaces to make it particularly unique but also taking into account the impressive plot and wealth of original character with which it benefits from, and the highly regarded village in which it is located, we are of the view the property will attract a wide range of potential purchasers, therefore would suggest an early inspection to avoid disappointment.
Permission had been previously granted to divide the plot of land to the front, so as to be suitable for the construction of an independent property and it is viewed that permission could possibly be renewed by the new owner.

Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
