The Dene, Hindon

DESCRIPTION

Brought to the market for the first time in over forty years this charming character property located on a quiet lane, close to amenities and several countryside walks, with an additional studio.

Believed to date back to the 18th century the cottage includes a small entrance porch leading into the entrance hall, kitchen, sitting room with wood burning stove, downstairs bathroom, two bedrooms and an upstairs WC.

The studio includes a large open planned L-shaped room which is divided into two areas, and could serve a number of different uses, as well as useful storage and a WC. Below is the garage, further brick-built storage shed and an outside WC. So, there could be further potential (STPP).

OUTSIDE

The property is situated on a quiet dead-end lane just off of the Hindon High Street, where you enter a shallow private parking area, as well as access to the garage with up and over door. From here there is easy access to the front door as well as a small path leading to the rear entrance of the property.

To the West of the property is a small area of lawn which provides access to the steps leading up into the studio as well as the rear entrance of the garage, brick built storage shed and outside WC. Further steps then lead you up to the main south easterly facing garden which has an array of planting, with a number of raised beds and a greenhouse. At the top of the garden there is a decked area where views can be enjoyed of the allotments and neighbouring countryside.

The neighbouring property does also have pedestrian access to the rear of the Cottage and to their brick-built storage.

AGENTS NOTE

Boatwrights would like to inform any potential purchasers that this property suffered from Flooding in 1990 due to a high water level, and in 2014 surface water entered the property due to drainage from the hills.

As a result work has been done to prevent both events occuring again in the future, in which the village flood warden has said he is confident 4 The Dene is no longer threatened by groundwater that occasionally overflows the ditch opposite and from surface water flowing from the high ground to the rear of the property after a prolonged period of rain.

Purchasers are advised to conduct their own research prior to making an appointment to view.
