Property description
Located in the centre of Netheravon the property, believed to be of c.17th Century origins, is a period cottage with a self-contained annexe and attractive garden.
The main property, Kent Cottage, has been renovated and extended (2004) to offer three bedroom accommodation with ensuite and family bathroom. The ground floor offers two excellent reception rooms; the living room has a fine Inglenook fireplace with freestanding log burner. The kitchen is approximately 22ft in length and is fitted in a contemporary farmhouse-style with an excellent range of cabinetry. In addition there is a ground floor study with adjoining shower room which could be utilised as a fourth bedroom/guestroom. There is still further potential to enlarge Kent Cottage as there are a series of single storey outbuildings off the rear of the property which could be converted and accessed from the kitchen.
The annexe, formerly the village shop through the 1960s and 70s, then became a fish and chip shop during the 1980's until its closure in 2006. The building remained empty until 2010 at which time the Annexe conversion was undertaken to produce another fantastic, self contained cottage with excellent accommodation including a large living room, large kitchen, study/office, ground floor cloakroom and an impressive first floor bedroom with ensuite.
Both Kent Cottage and the Annexe are double glazed and centrally heated via their own independent oil filed boilers to radiators (both fuelled from one tank). The garden is shared and on street parking is available. It should be noted by prospective purchasers that there is no garage or off street parking within the curtilage of either property, however there is street parking available within the immediate area.
In conclusion Kent Cottage is an interesting proposal to prospective buyers as it clearly offers family living and granny annexe use; the whole property could be reconfigured and lived in as one dwelling and the possibility exists to live in either part and rent out the other vacant portion to provide a form of income.
