House For Sale £750,000
Charming Grade II listed cottage with beautiful gardens in a central village location.
Description
Grade II listed Walnut & Well Cottage is a pretty detached property, full of charm and character with beautiful rear gardens. The property dates from the 17th century or earlier and was originally two cottages, both timber framed with plaster infill. The two cottages had different roof levels, the north one being tiled, the south one of Horsham stone slate slab.
This delightful property offers a wealth of period details, including exposed beams, casement windows and an inglenook fireplace in the sitting room. There is potential to upgrade and extend, subject to obtaining the necessary consents and permissions. As expected with a property of this age and character, there are some low ceilings and reduced head height in some doorways.
The accommodation is mainly arranged over two floors, and the ground floor offers a reception hall, a sitting room with access to the rear garden, a dining room, a kitchen and a cloakroom.
There are three bedrooms on the first floor, a bathroom and a shower room on the first floor, and a fourth attic bedroom with a fixed ladder access. The floorplans give an excellent overview of the full layout.
The outside space is a particular feature of the property. To the north lies the detached garage, carport and driveway parking, with a greenhouse; the house has a wide frontage and these outbuildings could offer potential for further development (subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions and consents). There is a further brick and timber outbuilding with power connected. The west-facing gardens have well-stocked cottage style beds close to the house, with an elevated terrace creating a wonderful spot to enjoy the sun and the outlook over the expanse of lawn with mature shrubs and trees planted. In all, about 0.29 of an acre.
