2 bedroom house

A very rare opportunity to continue the restoration of this quintessential chocolate box thatched cottage in the ever-popular village of Bradfield St George. The cottage enjoys Grade II Listed status and benefits from far reaching countryside views while boasting an idyllic rural location. The current owners have already undertaken an extensive schedule of work to now offer 'Apple Trees' to market with full planning permission to restore the cottage to its former splendour. Notable features include the retained inglenook fire place, two separate staircases, a wealth of exposed beams and expansive private gardens.

Full details of the planning permissions can be found under planning reference DC/20/04268.

Outside The cottage occupies a wonderfully rural setting with far reaching countryside views over the adjacent farmland and is accessed via a private gravelled driveway, guarded by a five-bar gate. There is off-road parking for a number of vehicles and access to the newly re-built DETACHED GARAGE.

The gardens are predominantly laid to lawn and are expansive in nature as well as stocked with a variety of shrub borders and specimen trees which assist with affording a good deal of seclusion to the plot.
