This property comprises a detached period cottage that is of timber frame construction and for a purchaser there would be the potential to expose some of the beams if that was the look the person required. The cottage itself has undergone upgrading with replacement sealed unit upvc double glazing to many of the windows in light wood grain finish, however there is still scope for improvement and updating. The sole plate to the side of the property was replaced in 2005. There are laminated wood floors to some of the rooms. Whilst this has been done there is still the original character with the original doors, to the dining room there is an original hob fireplace and as previously mentioned there could be bigger fireplaces to the main reception room and beams to be exposed if one required (fireplaces cannot be used until the chimney is lined).
The cottage at present is a three bedroom property with a large box room (11’7” x 7’3”) at first floor level that is the same design as the third bedroom but does not have a window in it. Were a dormer to be put in this then this would become a fourth bedroom or could be a first floor bathroom. All these rooms at first floor level do lead directly off the landing.
There is a pleasant, really lovely outlook across the common to the front and the road was moved back a number of years ago so the A143 is more distant now than it was before. The village itself has an acclaimed primary school and there is the benefit across the road of the common.
The accommodation in brief comprises:
* HALL * SITTING ROOM * DINING ROOM * KITCHEN/BREAKFAST ROOM * WORK ROOM * LOBBY * BATHROOM * THREE BEDROOMS * BOX ROOM * GARDENS *
The rooms are as follows:
HALL: Front door. Space for coats. Four-panel door to dining room and four-panel door to…
SITTING ROOM: (11’3” x 11’1”) Pleasant view to the front over front garden and common. Laminated wood flooring. 1970’s tiled fireplace with what is believed to be a bigger period fireplace behind. Cupboard to side. Replacement upvc double glazed window. Door through to kitchen. Night storage heater.
DINING ROOM: (11’1” x 8’3”) Laminated wood flooring. Replacement sealed unit upvc double glazed window. Original hob fireplace with painted wood surround, tiled inset. Night storage heater.
KITCHEN/BREAKFAST ROOM: (11’3” x 7’9”) Stairs to first floor. Night storage heater. Door to lobby. Single drainer stainless steel sink unit with cupboard below. Built-in pantry cupboard. This room would benefit from upgrading.
WORK ROOM: (16’3” x 8’8”) 1970’s flat roof extension with potential to become a kitchen and utility area. Built-in cupboard. Door to outside. Also door to front. Coal bunker. This room could be further developed or indeed could with the necessary consents become a garage.

OUTSIDE: The property is located off what used to be the old A143 before it was relocated, so there is no passing traffic immediately in front of the property and unrestricted parking outside. The front garden has been laid out very much in olde worlde cottage style with hedge, wrought iron gate and path leading to the front door with areas of grass, flowering and herbaceous plants. There is an area to the side of the property where there is beech hedging. The main gardens lie to the rear of the property and are primarily south facing; they are laid to grass enclosed by hedging. There is a timber and felt garden shed and apple tree. Small vegetable patch and herbaceous border to one side.
