A DELIGHTFUL period thatched cottage, full of charm and character, that has been lovingly RENOVATED by the current owners.

DESCRIPTION
Old Bluebell Cottage is a fine example of a ‘chocolate box’ semi-detached, thatched period home. Dating from the 15th century with later additions in the 17th century, it has been awarded a Grade II listing status. The current owners have sympathetically renovated and refurbished throughout to now offer modern conveniences, whilst retaining all its original charm and character. As typical of properties of this age, unusual and quirky features can often be found, and Old Bluebell Cottage is no exception. On the ground floor, there is a cosy sitting room which has a fabulous inglenook fireplace, a bespoke kitchen that also benefits from a woodburning stove, and a family bathroom. There is a portable staircase which allows access to the guest bedroom. On the first floor, there is a fabulous master bedroom with built-in wardrobes. The second bedroom can also be accessed via the master bedroom.

OUTSIDE
The large, secluded garden is enchanting and well-stocked with an array of flowering shrubs, plants, and mature trees. The extensive lawned area is the perfect spot to enjoy away the summer days in. To the rear of the garden, there is an additional entertaining area which is conveniently close to the summerhouse, ideal for enjoying the garden in all weathers. This truly is a garden that must be viewed to be appreciated. A unique feature of this period home is the detached garage and parking facilities. There is secure parking for several cars to the rear, whilst a gate offers pedestrian access to the insulated storeroom and garden.
