A charming period cottage situated in the picturesque Holden Pond area of Southborough, offering three double bedrooms, two bathrooms, large kitchen/ dining room and low maintenance gardens whilst retaining many period features. NO CHAIN.
Situated in a picturesque corner of Southborough, directly opposite Holden Pond and affording views towards the common and Southborough woods is this utterly charming and deceptively spacious historic cottage.
The property was originally a corner shop & post office but has long since been a wonderful family home and offers well proportioned accommodation over three floors. Upon entering the property you are directly in the spacious sitting room with its original bay window overlooking the pond and working log burner. There is a second reception room which would find use as a study or hobby room and there is the large kitchen/ dining room with its range of fitted cupboards and butchers block worksurface as well as a Butler Sink. There is space for all the expected appliances and an aspect over the garden and makes for cosy yet comfortable entertaining and family area.
There is also a modern shower room on this floor with walk in cubicle, WC and basin.
On the first floor there is a great size principle bedroom affording beautiful views over the Pond and towards the woodlands, as well as a feature fireplace and picture rails. There is a further double bedroom on this floor with the airing cupboard which houses a brand new hot water cylinder (fitted 2024) and more lovely views. A family bathroom on this floor comprises a bath, WC and basin.
Moving up to the top floor there is a light & bright third double bedroom, a large linen cupboard, built in wardrobe as well as further cloakroom with WC and basin and access to the eaves from here.
Outside there is a delightful low maintenance cottage garden which is southerly-facing and has patio areas, raised beds and rear access as well as a large outbuilding which is ideal for storage and could possibly be converted to a home office with further improvements.
Being sold with NO CHAIN we have no hesitation in recommending an early appointment to view this very special home.
