Charming detached 3 bedroom detached period cottage providing a surprising level of extended accommodation complemented by private gardens.
Understood to have been built in the 18th century of traditional timber frame construction beneath a tiled roof and extended to the rear and side in more recent years, this delightful detached period house, displays a wealth of original features including period fireplaces and many exposed beams. The house provides plenty of accommodation for a family or retired couple and is offered with no onward chain.
Benefitting from oil fired radiator central heating, the light and airy accommodation currently in brief comprises an entrance porch with door to the spacious double fronted sitting room with exposed beams and arched red brick fireplace with stove. From the sitting room leads through to the light and airy kitchen breakfast room, extending to 23ft and fitted with numerous units providing ample drawer and cupboard space beneath preparation surfaces and with space for appliances. Red brick feature fireplace and door to stairs off to first floor. Off the kitchen breakfast room is the spacious dining room, creating an ideal reception room for entertaining which may be possible to be incorporated into the kitchen breakfast room (subject to building regulations etc) and has windows and French doors to the rear gardens. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a side porch and a separate utility room leading to a cloakroom.
On the first floor is a landing leading to the three bedrooms including the impressive principal bedroom with en-suite cloakroom and French doors to a feature balcony. The two remaining bedrooms are served by the family shower room, completing the first floor accommodation.
Outside - The property is set back from the road behind a picket fence with a Canadian maple tree and gravelled drive across the front of the cottage which extends to the side and provides access to the detached garage with up and over door and power connected. The rear garden has a large patio area leading to a garden which is mainly laid to lawn with cultivated flower beds and wood lap fence and conifer boundaries providing a high degree of privacy.
Location - Hepworth is a small village with a fine church. The nearest shopping facilities are available at Barningham, Hopton and Stanton.
