Duckpool Cottage

Located at the end of a no-through lane on the edge of the village, Duckpool Cottage is an attractive and wonderfully flexible family home set in a generous plot with ample parking to the front, pretty gardens and great views to the rear.

The main house extends to around 3,930 square feet and is currently arranged as a four bedroom house with an attached one bedroom annex, there is also a large self-contained two bedroom apartment that is been let on an Assured Shorthold Tenancy.

The property is presented in excellent condition having been the subject of an ongoing program of modernisation with the kitchen having most recently been replaced in the past few months.

The 2 bedroom apartment annex sits above a double garage and a really useful self-contained home office.

The house offers multi-generational living options and could be split in a number of different ways. Set back from the lane, a sweeping double driveway means there are two clearly defined entrances and the plot is comfortably large enough to offer privacy to the front and rear.

Enjoying stunning southerly views to the rear, there are enclosed areas of lawn, an established and productive vegetable garden and large south facing patio just off the garden room at the back of the house. A small brick outbuilding offers further conversion opportunities. An application has been approved under permitted development to create a 2,000sq' approx. yoga studio/home office in an elevated position to the rear of the house - ref. 21/00570/CLP.

The plot extends to approximately 2.4 acres but the current owners also occupy a further 1.2 acres (approx.) of land to the east (that flanks the main road) under a license which might be transferable subject to the appropriate application.

Services: Mains gas, water and electricity. Private waste. Wood burners in the sitting room and snug. Double glazed throughout.
