House For Sale £335,000
Thought to date from the 17th century, 6 New Street is a grade two listed, thatched cottage, which has had a complete internal and external refurbishment including, re-wiring, oak pattress
boxes and Bakelite switches and sockets, electric underfloor heating, a new contemporary
kitchen with all new fitted appliances and a granite fireplace with Morsø wood burning stove. Upstairs there is a bright, light, landing with space for a study area, desk and shelves, with
electrical sockets and telephone jack for internet connection and a wall light above the desk area.
There are two bedrooms, one single one double (king size) and a smart new shower room with
generous shower. There has been great attention to the details and this cottage really has to be viewed to be appreciated. This cottage has enormous potential as a holiday cottage investment with predicted gross earnings of between £18,000-£21,000pa, but it is currently a really lovely full time home. Outside there is a small garden of two terraced areas, both take a table and chairs for outside dining, one is cobbled and the other has flagstones and there is a potted garden with trees and shrubs. Both south facing terraces are real sun traps. From the stone terrace, there are five steps up to the car parking level where there is private off road parking for one car with potential for an electric charging point.
