Requiring significant improvement, this very pretty period cottage has a generous-size garden and is located within the heart of the village, yet away from the road and adjacent to pony paddocks.

Description
Dating back to the 18th century, this Grade II listed thatched cottage is attached to another cottage, and the pair were originally a row of three. The two cottages sit gable end onto Park Lane, less than 70m from the High Street, with a footpath passing in front of them and dissecting the garden, which comprises two generous areas. One of these areas is to the side/rear and is adjacent to pony paddocks, and the other is an enclosed and secluded garden with two sheds to the front of the cottage.

The roof was re-thatched in 2022, otherwise the cottage requires substantial refurbishment works. There are significant cracks to the walls, identified by a surveyor on behalf of the seller as being caused by roof spread rather than subsidence. A copy of the report will be included within the legal pack, although this will be for reference only. The suggested remedy is to install tie bars and re-point, using lime mortar for which listed buildings consent has been applied for, along with consent to replace the windows.

Accommodation
Ground Floor: Double aspect living room with inglenook fireplace and a kitchen looking to the rear.
First Floor: Landing with doors to all rooms. Large main bedroom, a second bedroom with restricted head height to the doorway, and a bathroom.

Exterior
The garden at the front has a lawn, trees, and hedges at the boundaries giving a good degree of privacy, and two dilapidated sheds, the larger having a tiled roof. At the side is a flower and shrub bed, behind which is a mature fruit tree and a lawn with a pathway and gated entrance to the neighbour's garden.
