House For Sale £725,000
Kisby’s Cottage is a unique and exquisite 'picture postcard' Grade 2 listed 16th century thatched, detached cottage which was comprehensively restored twenty years ago by highly-respected builders R. W. Armstrong and Sons. Since then, the cottage has been assiduously maintained to an exceptional standard by the present owner, with the roof having been completely re-thatched to the highest standards in May this year. The property retains a great deal of its original character and charm and is now ready for immediate occupation.
Exceptionally for a Grade 2 listed building, Kisby's Cottage has Implemented Planning Permission for an extension to create additional ground and first floor living spaces; plans are available from the selling agent.
Description:
Currently, on entering via the front porch, to the right is a charming sitting room with a lovely Inglenook feature fireplace with log burner and bread oven; plenty of exposed beams; and French doors looking out to both the front and rear gardens. Some original timbers divide this space from a quiet study with an under-stairs storage cupboard and stairs to the first floor. On the other side of the front porch is a second staircase to the first floor; a separate dining room with a fireplace; and a delightful and well-planned kitchen with integrated fridge and dishwasher. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a shower room/utility room with shower, sink, W/C and washing machine, next to the rear porch door which opens to the rear patio and garden. On the first floor are two double bedrooms approached by the two separate staircases. The principal bedroom has its own bathroom.
Outside:
The cottage is on a quiet country lane and approached via a five-bar gate beyond which there is an ample private drive and access to the wood-built double garage. The well-fenced, picturesque and beautifully-kept private gardens are an exceptional feature of the cottage and surround the property on all sides. Across the front garden runs a small stream, spanned by an ornate little footbridge which provides access to the garden office/studio, fitted for light and power, whose ample space could find many uses. The gardens of half-an-acre are landscaped and laid out in attractive borders with large areas of open lawn, several mature trees and shrubs, a small pond and a delightful, ornamental thatched well on its own patio.
Early viewing of this quintessential country cottage is very highly recommended.
Services:
Mains electricity, water and drainage. A new oil fired Boiler was installed in 2021 and has a five-year warranty. There is a satellite dish and broadband access via landline.
