Property description

A Grade II Listed originally 16th-century cottage with later additions with two bedrooms with front and rear gardens located in the heart of the village of Ickleford village.

The brick under tile cottage sits mid-terrace in a row of similar style houses and dates back to the 16th-century but has had 17th- and 18th-century alterations including the sash window. It has been sympathetically modernised internally to offer a practical living space, however retains the exposed beams throughout and original open fireplaces. The ground floor layout has a dining room with a study space, a fitted kitchen, a sitting room, and modern ground floor bathroom. On the first floor there are two bedrooms. At the front of the period cottage, a gated picket fence accesses a front garden with a mature shrub border and a brick path to the front door. There are fenced or laurel hedged boundaries to the neighbouring front gardens. At the rear is a secluded and low maintenance paved patio garden with timber fenced boundaries to the side and rear.

This is fitted with a range of Shaker style wall and base level cabinets with wooden effect worktops, an inset butler’s sink, and a gas hob with an extractor above.
