The Property
Fen Cottage is believed to date back to the late 17th century and retains an impressive original timber-frame. The property has been extended on a number of occasions with the latest approximately 26 years ago. The principal rooms are all generously proportioned and comprise an entrance hall, sitting room, dining room, utility, kitchen, shower room, three bedrooms and a
bathroom.
The property now requires some degree of renovation with particular attention drawn to the single glazed windows, the current heating system and other cosmetic work. Regardless of the level of renovation required, the setting is delightful and would reflect well in any finished project.
Outside
The property stands proudly within its plot with lawned front gardens, which sweep around the side of the property to the rear. The grounds themselves are largely mature lawned gardens bordered by a variety of mature trees and shrubs. Currently there is a concrete pad, which would make an excellent base for a garage or cart-lodge, with ample off road parking prior. In addition, there are a number of open wood stores and an adjoining store to the side of the house. In all 0.25 acres (sts).
