A spacious extended semi-detached character home occupying a generous plot, located near the end of a no-through lane with access to fields and pathways, the cottage is one of four properties in the old hamlet which is now the conservation area of Symonds Green. The cottage was originally built to accommodate the workers of the nursery which was attached to the farm which still stands and whose greenhouses would have expanded east from the back garden covering the land now occupied by the houses of Eastbourne Avenue.
The property has been extended to create a spacious well presented arrangement of accommodation with a rear garden of over 100ft in length being a particular feature, with a wide limestone terrace extending to the side entrance and a private aspect to all sides with a useful summerhouse to the rear. To the front there is a double width block paved driveway providing independent off-road parking for two cars. Further practical benefits include gas-fired central heating and leaded light double glazing.
The accommodation comprises a reception hall, spacious lounge with feature fireplace with a wood burning stove, separate dining room with a further wood burner, fitted kitchen/breakfast room and a downstairs shower room. The first floor landing leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms with the master bedroom benefiting from an en-suite bathroom. Viewing highly recommended.
