DESCRIPTION

Baytree Cottage is a Grade II Listed property believed to date from the 1700’s and is of brick and flint construction under pantile roof. Baytree Cottage has been a much-loved main residence and is now on the market for the first time in nearly fifty years.

One end of the property is known as The Marsh Goose which was believed to be a boat builders at one point, was used as an annexe until recently however, this and Baytree are joined and can easily be used as one property.

Currently the ground floor offers two large reception rooms, one on the south end of the house which could be converted to make a wonderful large kitchen family room and a double aspect drawing room on the northwest end of the property with access onto the courtyard garden.

The current kitchen sits centrally to the house with east and west aspect, it is fitted with a range of paint finished cabinets and offers space for a small table and chairs. The oil-fired boiler is located in this room. There is a further reception room on the ground floor, currently used as the dining room with an old built in wood burning stove (not in working order) and fitted storage.

Taking the stairs to the first-floor landing, the principal bedroom is an impressive large, vaulted room with views over the garden. This room benefits from the use of an adjacent, recently updated shower room across the corridor.

Following the landing around you find three further double bedrooms and a single/bunk bedroom along with a family bathroom with a clawfoot bath.
