Description
Occupying a ‘stand-alone’ position in the rural parish of Naughton, Manor Cottage is a detached four / five-bedroom chalet bungalow which is set well back in some 0.55 acres.
Formerly a modest 1950’s bungalow, Manor Cottage was significantly modified and extended in 2007, which also included the construction a detached cart lodge garage to the rear.
Following obtaining a certificate of lawful use, a rudimentary single storey outbuilding set to the far eastern part of the property was granted ancillary use to Manor Cottage. A subsequent planning application was successful in securing the subject annex as a separate residential dwelling, now giving scope for a replacement dwelling.
Manor Cottage itself provides versatile family accommodation which is set around a wide central hallway. The kitchen / dining room is generously proportioned, with the rear twin aspect kitchen area fitted on three walls with breakfast bar, further worksurfaces, integral appliances and numerous cupboards and drawers. A spacious utility room is adjacent, proving ample storage space with cloakroom.
The two reception rooms consists of the front snug with bay window, and the twin aspect sitting room which forms part of the 2007 works. The remaining ground floor comprises the main bedroom with ensuite shower and walk-in cupboard.
Via a central landing, the first floor offers four further bedrooms which are all served by a family bathroom.
Manor Cottage & Acklam Bungalow occupy a discreet rural setting which offers complete privacy. The main dwelling is set well back, with a shingle driveway to one side which defines the front lawn, with natural pond fronting the minor county lane (Whatfield Road).
The driveway continues to the rear, which provides further parking to the area with a detached cart lodge garage with store. In addition to a further expanse of lawn, the immediate garden consists of a sheltered dining terrace which is accessed via two sets of French doors via the kitchen and sitting room.
Beyond an established hedge (east) is Acklam Bungalow, which historically has been used as an ancillary annex. The annex is positioned centrally in about 0.23 acres and is located some 40 metres from Manor Cottage. Now granted as an independent dwelling, the annex offers considerable scope for redevelopment, subject to planning permission.
