THE PROPERTY
Fiddler Simpson’s Cottage is a stylishly presented detached village house, which was extended and modernised about 12 years ago by the current owners to enhance the space, comfort, convenience and efficiency of this charming 1600’s period property. This excellent home is most unusually not listed, as it was relocated, having as a thatched cottage fallen into disrepair, from Washmere Green, 2 miles to its current location, by an excentric harpsichord maker by the name of Mr Hodsdon in around 1930. It enjoys many superb original features and is wonderfully enhanced by the high-quality oak framed double-glazed windows throughout.

Presenting colour washed rendered elevations under a tiled roof, the accommodation in brief leads in through an oak panelled front door and into the new reception hall with welcome mat well, oak flooring, vaulted ceiling with Velux roof light window and a stable style ½ glazed door leading out to the rear. There is a cloaks hanging alcove and a store cupboard. A terracotta tiled floor open plan utility room features a double-glazed window to the rear, work surface, single drainer stainless steel sink unit, base and eye level cupboards and space for a washing machine and upright fridge/freezer. There is a shower room/cloakroom opposite, housing the wall mounted gas fired boiler. Stairs lead up to a first-floor study/office/bedroom four from the hall, over the garage, with automatic sensor lighting and a door that connects to a useful store room which could, due to the location of the plumbing below, easily be re-purposed as an en-suite bath/shower room if required. An oak plank latch door leads from the hall into the kitchen/breakfast room which features double-glazed windows to the rear, French doors to the side and exposed ceiling timbers. The room is fitted with a range of base units with granite work surfaces, ceramic butlers sink with mixer tap, Rangemaster induction hob range cooker set into the former bressummer beamed fireplace, a larder fridge and a dishwasher. An old latch door leads to the rear stairs leading to the first floor and a carved archway leads to the living/dining room, which features double-glazed windows to the front and side, a fireplace with brick hearth and inset log burning stove with alcove cupboard to the side, exposed wall and ceiling timbers and original mullion window. This room also enjoys modern oak flooring and a built-in solid oak end wall display and storage unit. A second, original entrance door leads into the original entrance hall, with stairs turning up to the first floor and doors into the dining room and sitting room. The sitting room is of particular note being well proportioned with double glazed windows to three aspects and features a bressummer beamed inglenook fireplace housing a log burning stove with alcove storage to the side. A door leads out to the garden terrace and the room enjoys glorious historic dark oak panelled walls.
