Little Green, Mells

Elderberry Cottage was constructed around the 1630s and is a quint cottage located within a highly desireable village. The accommodation requires modernisation, but makes a delightful retreat.

To the market for the first time since 1986 this property has been a long term home to the current owner, who is now looking to sell with no onward chain. In its current condition the property is in need of modernisation throughout, but offers the perfect opportunity to purchase a piece of history and make it your own.

In brief the internal accommodation comprises of lounge, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. A small and quaint property providing unique accommodation.

Entering through the original wooden door and stepping into the lounge the property is full of character and personality. The lounge retains its original fireplace with an opening ideal for an open fireplace or wood burner. A one storey extension has been added to the property to the rear and now provides a separate kitchen and small dining space. Subject to Planning, it could be possible to create a second storey above this space to provide a larger first floor area and therefore transforming the cottage.

To the first floor is a double bedroom that is dual aspect with large inward opening windows to the rear overlooking the garden providing a unique aspect. The bathroom is also located on the first floor with a full suite and airing cupboard. At the top of the landing are double door storage cupboards which make ideal space for bed linen etc.

Externally the property has a delightful south facing cottage style garden. Split over two levels there is a lower patio and an upper lawn. The garden is enclosed by walls and mature shrubs and plants providing a peaceful setting. With side access, there is enough space for bins and wood store keeping this away from the garden.
Whilst there is no allocated off street parking, parking is available directly outside of the property.

Please note: The property is not connected to mains heating and there are some night storage heaters within the property. The property is also not connected to mains drainage and therefore has a septic tank. This tank is regularly serviced every 9 months by the current owner.
