A timber latch gate gives access to the front garden path which leads on to the covered porch. An attractive fir tree, that stands to the left boundary, gives the cottage its name. The front is mostly lawned and a timber gate gives access to the rear garden. The rear is approximately 150' in length, mainly lawned with a few flower beds, various maturing trees & shrubs including lilac, a fruit tree, some firs and laurel. Midway along the garden is a private paved seating area, beside which is a useful timber workshop / store, with power & light, approximately 14' x11' and with power & light connected. To the very rear is an attractive drystone wall, the other side of which is meadow land. A thatched, stone, former wash house or igloo, now makes a great home office or studio.
Location
Ashton is a delightful village set around a traditional green, with a pub, The Chequered Skipper, standing to one end. The village evolved around the farms of the Ashton Estate, but many of the surviving cottages were built at the end of the 19th and early 20th century. The village has a number of footpaths and bridleways leading through the Wold and over the gently rolling countryside of the Nene Valley. Oundle lies about 1 ½ miles away and offers a range of family run shops, businesses and restaurants, set around the Market Place. There is a good range of schooling and leisure facilities. Peterborough lies about 12 miles away and offers extensive facilities as well as main line rail travel with journey times to London Kings Cross from about 48 mins.
