Description

Situated in a conservation area, on a no through lane, Spencer Cottage is a detached Georgian cottage with origins dating to the early 1800s. Grade II Listed, the classic ‘dolls house’ style property is constructed of brick, stone and render beneath a pitched tiled roof and retains period features including pretty sash windows. The much-loved home, which has been in the same family for 60 years, is today in need of some updating and offers an exciting opportunity for incoming custodians.
The country style kitchen, with oil fired Rayburn, opens to both a breakfast/dining area and the delightful conservatory overlooking the garden at the rear. The cosy sitting room has an open fire and connects with a study/snug which could alternatively be used as bedroom four.

On the first floor, there is a bright and generous principal bedroom with built in wardrobes, a further double bedroom, family bathroom and a single bedroom overlooking the garden.
To the front of the property there is gravelled parking space for two cars. The secluded country garden borders fields to the rear. Extending to about one acre, with mature trees, shrubs and terraces, there is a summer house with scope for conversion to home office (subject to relevant consents) and garden stores.
