Description: Magpie Cottage is a charming former stable farm building that was converted approximately 25 years ago, set within the heart of the idyllic village of Udimore next to the local parish church of St. Mary’s.

The property is of traditional brick construction, with timber casement double glazed windows all beneath a pitched slate tiled roof. The accommodation provides a main reception room accessed through French double-glazed doors with high vaulted ceiling and feature central brick fireplace with wood burner and built in bookcase.

Accessed from the living room is a door leading through to a rear entrance hall with back door / utility room, with plumbing for a washing machine and dishwasher and space for large fridge / freezer. The kitchen connects through from the utility area with double aspect windows, white shaker style units with tiled worktops, a stainless steel sink and space for an electric cooker and under counter tumble dryer.

On the opposite side of the living room is a small study room with front facing window, a second double bedroom with side windows that is currently being used as second office / hobby room, and a further door leading to master bedroom suite with access to a shower room/WC and further door leading into the master bedroom with double aspect windows and built in wardrobes.

Externally the property enjoys a generous wrap around garden with green house and vegetable patch set in grounds of approximately 0.33 acres. Situated opposite the bungalow is a further brick constructed farm barn that has been converted to form a very large double garage with purpose-built workshop at the end. From initial enquiries we believe this building has potential to be converted into a number of different uses including a studio, workshop, garage store for up to four cars or even be converted into residential use possibly as a holiday let or additional annexe accommodation.
