3 bedroom house for sale

A delightful stone cottage with characterful accommodation, beautiful garden, parking and a garage, set in the heart of this desirable village.

Nene Cottage is a delightful home crafted from a range of four cottages dating from the mid-1700s and is Listed Grade II. The sympathetic conversion to a comfortable single dwelling took place in the middle of the 20th Century, leaving many of the original features in situ, including window seats, inglenook fireplaces and a stop-chamfered spine beam. South-facing windows, give a lovely, light feel to each room. A high-quality conservatory has been added, bringing the garden into the home. The current owners have been diligent with a continual program of maintenance during their time as custodians, offering a beautiful home with fabulous garden to the market.

The front door opens to the dining hall. This offers space for formal or family mealtimes. The inglenook houses a solid fuel burning stove. The oak floor continues through to the wonderfully atmospheric sitting room, with its beamed ceiling and inglenook with carved bressummer. Beyond, is the study, which is sufficiently large to serve as a playroom or a snug. The inglenook creates a focal point to the room, and windows open to the front and to the rear garden. The conservatory is a quality addition to the house and is accessed from the sitting room. There is ample space for dining and for relaxation, whilst enjoying a view of the garden. The limestone floor with underfloor heating is a practical and stylish finish.

The kitchen is off the dining hall and has a run of wall and base units providing excellent storage and workspace, with inset double sink, electric hob and two electric ovens. The fridge freezer and dishwasher are built in. Adjacent is the utility room, with space for the usual appliances and good additional storage.

The first floor is approached via stairs in the back hall which has the guest cloakroom to one side. The landing runs along the back of the house and provides access to each of the three double bedrooms, two of which have built-in storage. There is also access to the large bathroom and to the separate WC.

Nene Cottage has a gravelled drive to the side, which provides parking and runs up to the garage, set within the back garden. This quality garage is of block and brick construction and timber clad on the outside. It offers ample room for a car along with space for storage or workshop bench. Power and light are connected within.

The garden is a beautiful haven. A terrace spans the back of the house. Steps rise to the shaped lawn which is surrounded by beautifully stocked flower and shrub beds, ensuring there is colour and points of interest throughout the year. At the back of the garden are productive soft fruit and vegetable beds, along with a greenhouse and garden shed. The oil tank is set within a small compound and a log store is set against the back of the house.
