Description
Hillside is a charming, two bedroom, pretty period cottage located in the heart of the popular village of Fressingfield, within the shadow of the church.  The property originally dates back some five hundred years and was originally constructed with clay lump and timber frame.  During the Victorian era, red brick elevations were added under the pitch tiled roof.  The property is set within pretty cottage gardens, which are enclosed by close board fencing, providing a good degree of privacy in a very tranquil setting.  The property whilst being charming, offers compact accommodation over two storeys, with many original features adding to its character and charm.  The property is entered from the front into the sitting/dining room, with a wealth of exposed ceiling and wall timbers, with the focal point being an inglenook fire place with oak bressummer over and recessed wood burning stove, with useful storage to the side.  From here there is an opening into the galley-style kitchen with a door to the garden. There are a range of fitted wall and base units, electric hob, electric oven, space and plumbing for appliances and quarry tiled floor.  On the first floor there is a well appointed family bathroom, a principal bedroom and a walk-through second double bedroom.  The property benefits from UPVC double glazing throughout and oil fired central heating. 

The property is approached from the highway to the front where there is a gated entrance and pathway that leads to the front door and which circumnavigates the property.  The front garden is mainly laid to lawn with established and well stocked borders with a paved seating area.  To the side of the property there is a paved terrace which provides a perfect dining area to sit and enjoy the sun.  To the rear is a raised sitting area and raised beds, again, with a well stocked eclectic mix of flowers and shrubs.  There is a timber shed, outside lighting, external oil fired boiler, oil tank and bin storage area.  Whilst the property has no parking of its own, there is on-street parking outside the property.
