Tinkers Cottage is a charming home in a wonderful position overlooking the green in Great Milton. The property sits on a generous plot of in excess of 0.33 of an acre and has been extended, improved and includes an additional cottage that was acquired and cleverly incorporated into Tinkers. The house extends to 2,610 square feet and still has lots of potential to extend (subject to the relevant consents).
On the ground floor, there are two beautiful reception rooms either side of the central staircase – packed with character features. Through the sitting room is lovely further reception room with a window that overlooks the green. There is a study then to the rear. At the back of the property is a garden room, kitchen, laundry room, boot room and WC. The house also has a generous internal garage. Upstairs, there is a lovely principal bedroom with ensuite shower-room that overlooks the garden. There are also two further bedrooms and a family bathroom in the original house. In the additional cottage accessed via a separate staircase is a pretty bedroom, again overlooking the green, with an ensuite a study / further bedroom that could also be used a nursery or smaller single bedroom.
The house is wonderfully versatile, overflowing with charm and history. The garden has been lovingly tended to by the previous owners with areas of wild garden, vegetable patches and little seating areas that take advantage of the sun at various times during the day. It is also quiet and private. To the rear of the home is a large outbuilding (where the previous owners ran a business for many years). It extends to over 1,600 square feet and offers potential for a plethora of uses. It also has off road parking and vehicular access for the rear for several cars.
Situated in the heart of this extremely popular village, Tinkers Cottage is a fantastic opportunity to create a wonderful village home.
