Guide Price £550,000-£600,000. Hidden away behind the historic properties that front the street in this highly sought after village is this wonderful Grade II listed 17th century cottage with later additions sitting in wonderful mature gardens of about half an acre. The property is now in need of modernisation and benefits from thoughtful plans to extend and reconfigure the accommodation.<br/><br/>Planning and listed building consent (Ref DC/23/1773/HH & DC/23/1774/LB and DC/24/1052/HH & DC/24/1053/LB ) has been passed for a stunning barn style kitchen extension to the rear, the incorporation of the cart lodge into the accommodation as well as the construction of a large garage, workshop and studio outbuilding addition. Further details available from the agent.<br/><br/>The property is approached via a five bar gate to the front of the cottage into a large parking and turning area with an area of lawn and attractive cottage borders with a variety of flowers and mature bay tree.<br/><br/>The original thatched, timber framed cottage is full of character and provides considerable flexibility in terms of layout on both ground and first floors. the later addition presents rendered, colour washed elevations under a peg tiled roof and includes the covered car port which has planning permission for incorporation into the accommodation.<br/><br/>The half acre gardens provide a beautiful setting and much of the rear garden is an historic orchard with numerous fruit trees. There are many apples, pears plums, damson, gauge, quince, magnolia, tulip and many native trees. There is a beautiful brick and flint wall along the eastern boundary, a garden shed and greenhouse.
