Description
Originally a farm workers cottage, significantly extended in early 1980s, a four bedroom detached house with a double garage, driveway parking, and an approximately 1 acre rear garden with views over open countryside. Situated in the hamlet of Tingrith, Willow Tree Cottage was formerly a farm cottage and lies on an approximately 1 acre plot with views across paddocks.
The accommodation includes on the ground floor; an entrance hall, a sitting room with an inglenook fireplace, a family/dining room, a kitchen/breakfast room, a fully fitted utility room with an integrated washing machine and tumble dryer, and a cloakroom.
On the first floor the principal bedroom has a roof terrace, a dressing room, and an en-suite bathroom. There are three further bedrooms - one currently used as a study - and a family bathroom.
The property is approached through electric gates to a walled front garden. A gravel driveway provides parking and turning space for numerous cars. This leads to a double width garage connected with light and power. Solar panels on the south side of the house provide an average income of approximately £1800.00 p.a.
Ground Floor The dual aspect sitting room has windows to the front and rear, and an inglenook style open fireplace with a log burning stove. The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of oak base units, granite work surfaces and a one-and-a-half bowl, single drainer sink unit. Built in appliances include a Rangemaster oven and a dishwasher. The family room overlooks the rear garden and paddocks and has three arches leading to a dining area with views over the gardens.
Rear Garden Immediately to the rear is a block paved terrace extending along the back of the property and forming a square, which is ideal for entertaining. The rear garden is private since the majority is enclosed by recently erected timber fencing. It is mainly lawned and stocked with a variety of shrubs and specimen trees including pear and apple. There are also two insulated outbuildings with fitted cupboards and double doors for mower access.
