Description Built in 1994, Mulberry Cottage is a wonderfully maintained three double bedroom property just opposite the church in the centre of the sought after village of Fressingfield. The vendors acquired Mulberry Cottage approximately fourteen years ago, and during their tenure maintained the property, both internally and externally, including the gardens, to an extremely high standard. The accommodation is both spacious and light, with most of the principal rooms benefitting from twin aspects. The ground floor accommodation is particularly spacious with an entrance hall, 17' sitting room, 16' dining room that could also be used as a play room or snug, kitchen, garden room, study and utility room. On the first floor there is a 17' master bedroom with en-suite shower room, two further double bedrooms and a bathroom. Outside there is a car port and block paved driveway that is sufficiently large enough for two vehicles, together with a third parking space on the adjacent shingle driveway. The gardens are well stocked with a variety of specimen flowers, shrubs and trees, with the side and rear gardens facing in a southerly direction and therefore enjoying the sun throughout the day.
