2 bed detached bungalow for sale

Jacob's Cottage, Nedging Road, Nedging IP7

Requiring modernisation - an unlisted single storey detached cottage occupying a wonderful rural setting with far-reaching views

Historically forming part of a neighbouring farm, Jacob’s Cottage has been owned by the same family since mid 1950’s.

This unique dwelling probably pre-dates the 19th century, but despite its historic charm the property is fortuitously unlisted. Despite requiring renovation, the property offers considerable scope to improve and modify, and such opportunities nowadays are particularly scarce.

Covering some 1,100 sq.ft, the core accommodation provides a spacious front reception hall / bedroom with open fire, where brick flooring extends into the adjacent bedroom and utility room, which has the remnants of a former Victorian bread oven. A spacious kitchen / breakfast room to the rear (together with the sitting / dining room) enjoy spectacular view over rolling countryside beyond the entire western aspect. The remaining accommodation provides a further twin aspect double bedroom and a bathroom.

Arguably the property’s main asset is its position, which is located along a minor country lane (Nedging Road). Bound by established field hedges, the gardens are principally to each side of the cottage (north-east and south-west) where the north-eastern area forms the main part. Providing complete privacy, rural views are enjoyed to all sides, but more notably beyond the entire western boundary - which provides far-reaching vista over undulating countryside, as well as fabulous sunsets.

In all, the property covers some 0.15 acres.
