Offered by Fox Property is this beautiful
semi detached, chocolate box thatched
cottage which is situated in the rural
hamlet of Blackwater. It has recently been
lovingly upgraded and modernised to a
high standard by the current owners.
The cottage occupies
a corner plot so has
gardens to the side and rear. There is a
gated gravel path up to the front door and
this leads around to the patio area at the
rear.
One of the biggest projects undertaken by
the current owners was a complete rethatch to the roof during the summer of
2005, this instantly eliminates any
worries for potential buyers considering
buying a thatched property.
A mature hedge screens the property from
the road and a large flower border has
been planted with heathers and shrubs.
To the rear the garden is mainly lawned
and is again screened by a high hedge and
mature shrubs.
Once inside you will find a newly refurbished large kitchen/diner, a decent
size lounge with a fully operational open
fireplace, and a stunning beamed ceiling
plus bedroom on the ground floor.
Upstairs there are two further bedrooms
and a newly fitted modern bathroom with
a whirlpool jacuzzi bath which you can
soak in after a stressful day at work.
There is a path leading down to the
gravelled parking area. Within the garden
there is a timber summer house, this is
split into two sections. The rear is a
utility/workshop with electric sockets.
The front is a sitting area with double
doors that open up to allow views over
the garden.

Planning permission has

floor and an extra reception
room on the ground floor.
