This delightful character property offers a surprising amount of living and bedroom space for a 18th century cottage, and benefits from a beautifully maintained larger than average rear garden with lovely countryside views. The property also has an insulated garden office with power and lighting, which is fully accessible without going through the house and suitable for a variety of uses. With original beams, individually handcrafted doors throughout, high quality oak flooring and two working fireplaces, the stand-out feature of this property is the 24ft living room, with dual aspect windows and external doors leading out onto the sunny patio. The property also offers a separate dining room, also with fireplace, study area with views out onto the rear garden, good-sized kitchen with windows to front and rear, and a porch that could be easily repurposed as a utility space. Upstairs you find three double bedrooms, all with large built-in wardrobes, and the spacious bathroom has a separate bath and shower. The stunning garden has been meticulously planned and maintained over 20 years, and features a lower patio that enjoys the sunshine long into the evening, lawned areas, mature flowerbeds with an abundance of shrubs and flowering perennials, fruit trees and fruit bushes, a nature pond frequented by frogs, toads and newts, a vegetable patch and an upper patio area which captures the morning sun. Countryside walks can be accessed directly from the back gate of the property. Originally two mill worker cottages converted into one, the property has three separate attic spaces, one of which is fully boarded out with a pull-down ladder, power, lighting and Velux window. Two parking spaces can be found to the front. Offering multiple opportunities for modernisation and future expansion, this gem of a property must be viewed to fully appreciate everything it has to offer. The village of Blakeney benefits from easy access to major commuter routes as well as bus links to high-achieving grammar schools, whilst maintaining a strong sense of village community spirit. It offers many amenities including a post office, village shop, locally renowned fish and chip shop, restaurant and cafe, community centre with regular events for all ages, and a recently installed playground. Forestry England visitor sites such as Wenchford, Mallard's Pike and Beechenhurst are a short car journey away.
