A wonderful 4 bedroom period cottage occupying a 0.2 acre plot within the sought after area of Langton Green with driveway, detached garage, dining room with inglenook fireplace, sitting room with open fire, kitchen with Aga and separate breakfast room.
A wonderful four bedroom period cottage occupying a 0.2 acre plot within the sought after area of Langton Green.
This very desirable four double bedroom period home started out as a much smaller cottage believed to have been original built during the 1750's with later Victorian additions to create what is now a sizeable family home. As you would expect the property has a wide range of period features which includes a wonderful inglenook fireplace within the dining room, plenty of exposed wall and ceiling timbers, two individual staircases and a former stable that has been converted into a large garage. More modern additions include gas fired central heating via radiators, part secondary double glazing, bathroom and en-suite shower room, utility room and downstairs cloakroom and additional parking to the front of the property. Set in a conservation area within the popular village of Langton Green with its local village stores and pub, this really is a rare opportunity and therefore we have no hesitation in recommending interested applicants to view without delay.
