Description
Boxworth End is the western end of the village which features many period and newer properties lining the road in to the main part of the village. No 76 is a detached brick house with replacement sash pattern double glazed windows to the front elevation under a slated roof.

The main sitting room to the front has exposed brick flooring and an open fireplace with an original painted surround with mantel with dentilled detail below and French doors leading out onto the terrace to the rear of the house. The study beyond this room has built in “L” shaped desks and shelving to one wall. The other reception to the front of the house has a blocked former fireplace and original built in cupboards to either side. This room is adjacent to the ground floor cloaks/ shower room so can be used as an occasional bedroom when required.

The path continues up to the end of the garden where there is a timber summer house with double glazed windows and doors and power and light laid on together with an internet connection allowing the space to be used as an office from home or entertainment space. Beyond this building is a trampoline sunk into the ground.
