An historic grade II listed cottage set in over one acre in A much sought after rural location........
Spiders Barn is a fascinating and historic Grade II period cottage, dating back according to research documents to the 16th Century. There are, as one would expect many fine features, evident throughout this very special property, including numerous oak timbers, a fine open Inglenook fireplace to the sitting room and a general sense of charm and character, so typical of this much-loved era of English building. The current owners have carried out a number of improvements, resulting in a very comfortable and desirable period residence. The layout as can be seen on the floorplan is versatile with the bedrooms to the first floor, approached by two separate staircases, one staircase leads to the main bedroom and en-suite bathroom, the secondary staircase leads to the remaining bedrooms. The grounds are a fine feature of Spiders Barn extending in total to approximately 1.2 acres. The gardens are chiefly laid to grass with a variety of established trees, shrubs and well-stocked beds and borders, orchard and ponds. There is terrace extending to the rear of the cottage, overlooking the major part of the grounds and there are a number of garden outbuildings. To the front the drive provides parking for several vehicles. The annexe/studio was originally built as garage in the early 1990s (mo /92/0740/pla). The garage was subsequently used as incidental accommodation and a Certificate of Lawful use was certified in 2016
(mo/2016/1403/ecl) for its continued use. There is scope to upgrade or for a more ambitious buyer to apply for consent to demolish and rebuild a period style building in its place. This would be subject to the usual required planning consents.
