Property description
Bursting with character and charm, this 2 Bedroom semi-detached cottage was originally one of the Hinstock Manor farm cottages and was actually re-located and completely re-built in its current position in 1885. Over the last few years, the current owners have made it their labour of love and have extensively, yet sympathetically, re-furbished the property to offer a contemporary finish, whilst still retaining many period features. With ample space to extend and develop the garden land, (subject to planning permissions) it has further potential to add to the existing property or create a building plot.
Briefly comprising Entrance Hallway, a large Breakfast Kitchen, Lounge (with multi-fuel burner), 2 double Bedrooms and a beautiful Bathroom (with roll-top bath), the cottage sits within approximately 1/3 of an acre and benefits from additional outbuildings and an Double Open-Fronted Garage. uPVC D.G. & C.H. throughout.
