House Newick

Steeped in history, this lovely Grade II listed TWO BEDROOM DETACHED COTTAGE was occupied in the 18th & 19th centuries by the families who collected the toll to pass through the village and for the upkeep of the road. It sits on a generous O.3 ACRE PLOT and is available with NO ONWARD CHAIN

The front door leads into a dual aspect lounge/dining room which has a feature fireplace & woodburner. Off this room is the fitted kitchen which has an electric oven & hob, an integrated, almost new dishwasher, a pantry and a stable door to the rear. The units and shelves are of oak, worktops partly of hard wearing wood respectively black stone. The large sink too is of elegant black stone all made by a master craftsman. At the other end of the house is a study area with new shelving over the whole wall, stairs to the first floor and a recently installed downstairs cloakroom/wc with wheelchair access.

On the upper floor are two bedrooms, the window of the smaller is overlooking The Green. The main bedroom and en suite bathroom have ample storage cupboards of top quality. The oak floor boards in the main bedroom have fairly recently been renewed. Further benefits include gas fired central heating and leaded light windows.

Outside there is gated access from the road to a parking area for at least 3 vehicles. The good sized, secluded garden includes a patio area, two ponds, two greenhouses, two timber sheds, a workshop/utility and a well established variety of rare trees (fruit and decorative) and shrubs. There is scope for further development/extension subject to the necessary consents
