The Property
3 Thatched Cottages is a charming Grade II listed property believed to date back to the 17th century. A brick extension has been added to the back of the property which has a tiled roof. The thatch is of Norfolk Water Reed and the current owners have recently re-thatched the ridge of the roof. We understand the main thatch was replaced in 1994, still retaining a good lifespan.
The front door leads into the sitting room which is generously proportioned measuring 16‘ x 10‘2‘‘. The room has a feature fireplace, exposed timbers and a number of useful storage cupboards. The fireplace itself is currently blocked off, has a brick stack and tiled hearth. A doorway leads into the stairwell with stairs rising to the first floor. From the sitting room, a hallway provides access to the kitchen, bathroom and rear garden. The kitchen/breakfast room has a fine selection of refitted wooden wall and base units upon a quarry tiled floor. There is a large inset butler sink, Hotpoint cooker and extractor, plumbing for a washing machine and a rear timber window overlooking the rear garden. The room has solid oak work surfaces, space for a fridge/freezer and room for a dining table. The bathroom has been completely refitted with a modern white suite comprising a low level dual flush wc, hand wash basin and large bath with electric shower over. The room is fully tiled, has an extractor fan and a chromium heated towel rail. To the first floor is a small landing area and two double bedrooms. Both rooms are well proportioned with the master bedroom looking out over the rear garden. In addition, the master bedroom makes good use of some eaves storage by being converted into fitted shelves/wardrobe space.
Outside
To the front of the property is a lawned front garden, with a small pathway which leads up to the cottage. The remainder of the gardens are located to the rear of the property, which can be accessed from Rectory Road. The property benefits from a right of way for pedestrians and vehicles to access the rear garden. The garden comprises two parking spaces and a private garden area ideal for al-fresco dining. The garden offers low maintenance being partly decked and party concrete, with flower borders to either side.
