This beautiful terraced cottage, only one of five, was historically owned by the National Trust and part of the Wimpole estate. The house has been in the current owners care for more then fifty years and over the years the property has been extended and lovingly improved, yet great care has been taken to preserve much of its original character and charm. The mature and private gardens and grounds extend to 0.25 acres backing onto a stream. There is off road parking and a garage and panoramic views over the beautiful Wimpole estate. The property is arranged over three floors with a wealth of exposed timbers, inglenook fireplaces and exposed brick chimney breast.
The accommodation comprises an entrance area, opening to the sitting room with feature inglenook fireplace complete with bread oven and exposed brick chimney breast, exposed timbers and door to the stairs leading to the first floor. The kitchen/dining room is a generous room with views over the garden and fitted with bespoke cabinetry, ample solid wood work surfaces with inset ceramic sink unit and drainer, electric cooker point with extractor over, integrated fridge freezer and space for a washing machine and dishwasher. Just off the side lobby is a cloakroom/WC and a separate shower room.
On the first floor there are two bedrooms and a family bathroom. Please note that bedroom two has limited head-height. There is a further large bedroom on the second floor which enjoys wonderful views over the front garden and the countryside beyond.
Outside, there is a gravelled parking area for all five cottages and a garage en-bloc with up and over door. The front garden is laid mainly to lawn with flower and shrub borders and beds, selection of mature trees and bushes and a pathway leading to the entrance portico. The rear kitchen garden is laid mainly to paviour and shingle with neat box hedging and leads to a brick-built store. Beyond this is the principle garden which is mainly laid to lawn with flower and shrub borders and beds, paved patio and leads to the stream with bridge over and uninterrupted views over countryside.
