Orwell Cottage is a versatile and spacious six-bedroom detached period property which exudes timeless charm. Its origins date back to before the 1820s, has history which includes serving as the source of water for villagers from a now-disused well and as the local doctor's surgery until 1937. Nestled discreetly along the High Street, it enjoys proximity to amenities while providing a distinct atmosphere of privacy and seclusion. A spectacular feature of this property is its magnificent 150ft garden, an unexpected surprise for this central village location. Completely private and with a multitude of mature trees it is a real haven for wildlife and provides a fabulous family amenity space.
Approaching the property small steps lead to the welcoming front door which opens into a spacious hallway with ample room for coats and shoes. To the right is the sitting room. This spacious room is full of period features including ceiling roses, lovely original open fireplaces at each end with wooden surrounds with detailed roundels and wooden shutters. Two sets of French doors open out on to the garden/sun room which offers the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the wonderful garden.
Returning to the hall, a small flight of stairs leads down to the generous kitchen/dining room. This room is a traditionally styled as a country kitchen with beautiful oak beamed ceiling, window sills and lintels. Crafted cream hand-built units are complimented by wonderfully tactile worktops made from English Pippy oak. There is a belfast sink, integrated dishwasher and fridge and a range cooker. A neatly designed breakfast bar separates the kitchen area from a large space for dining table which has a magnificent custom-built larder/Welsh dresser at the end.
To the rear of this space is a useful overflow kitchen/pantry room, downstairs w.c. and door to the garage which is currently being used as a laundry/utility area.
