Description
The Tuns Cottage is an extended, three bedroom detached house being partially the original solid flint wall construction  together with a block and brick extension with rendered and colour washed elevations, all under a pitch tiled roof.  It is believed that the property was formerly two small cottages which has been opened into one and then extended.  In 1993, planning permission was granted to extend the kitchen and to provide a third bedroom and a garage.  

The property offers flexible accommodation and provides an opportunity for an incoming purchaser to place their own mark upon the property as it now requires a little updating.  The property does, however, benefit from gas-fired central heating and wooden double glazed windows.  It also benefits from a generous plot; there are open plan gardens to the front and a block paved driveway providing off-road parking for two to three vehicles in front of the single garage and to the side.  To the rear is an enclosed garden which has been hard landscaped with an area of Astroturf and beautiful outbuildings.  

The accommodation is flexible.  The front door enters into the porch which opens to the entrance hall which has stairs rising to the first floor.  There is a door from the hall to the office, which, in turn, has doors that lead to the breakfast area and the sitting/dining room.  The sitting room has a window to the front and a feature fireplace ( currently not in use) and opens into the dining area where here are two windows to the rear and a ceramic tiled floor.  There are exposed ceiling and wall timbers.  The kitchen/breakfast room is a spacious room with a door to the garden and windows to rear.  The kitchen area is fitted with a matching range of wall and base units with a one and a half bowl single drainer sink unit inset into worktop. There is space for a gas cooker and plumbing for washing machine and dishwasher.

Stairs from the entrance hall rise to the first floor landing.   This is a spacious with window to the rear and with doors off to the bedroom accommodation.  The principal bedroom is accessed via its own dressing room/shower room.  There are two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom which comprises panel bath, close coupled WC and hand wash basin.
 
Outside
The property is approached from the highway to the front via block paved driveways to either side of the front garden.  The front garden is mainly laid to lawn.  There is a pathway that circumnavigates the property with access to both sides.  There is a single attached garage with an up-and-over door and power and lighting connected.  The rear garden is predominantly hard landscaped with a paved terrace that runs along the back and side of the property and with steps up to a further terrace with a large expanse of Astroturf.  A pathway leads around the Astroturf to the rear of the garden where there is a brick outbuilding, a further store and a further separate outbuilding.  The rear garden is partly enclosed by close-boarded fencing and the side that adjoins the neighbouring field is hedging with a simple wire fence inside.

It should be noted that the boundary to the left hand side facing away from the property in the rear garden extends to circa 1m beyond the fence to include the leylandii hedge which provides screening from the path.
