Description
Occupying a generous plot of 1/3 of an acre, the original cottage has been superbly restored and sensitively extended to create a four bedroom home which is situated in the conservation area of Highstead, Chislet.

The family room leads through to an impressive conservatory with a pleasant outlook of the rear garden, whilst a very handy utility room and downstairs shower room concludes ground floor.
Stairs rise to the first floor which has an exceptionally bright landing area with windows to one end and a skylight to the other. The Master Bedroom is a good size room with east-facing windows, fantastic floor to ceiling fitted wardrobes and large an en-suite shower room. Bedroom Two is a good size double room with west-facing windows and lovely views of the garden and countryside beyond. Bedroom Three is another dual-aspect double room with very pretty views to the front of the house and excellent built-in floor to ceiling wardrobe cupboards.
