Description
Depper Dip is a period cottage which is not listed and is believed to be of timber framed construction with rendered elevations under a tiled roof.  Whilst it has modern conveniences such a UPVC double glazed windows and an oil-fired central heating system, it is anticipated an incoming purchaser will carry out a general renovation programme which may include replacing the kitchen and bathroom and remedying the damp.  The house offers spacious accommodation laid out over two floors.  A front door leads to a porch which in turn leads to a hallway.  Off this is a dining room and drawing room.  The dual aspect drawing room has views over the front and side garden.  There are exposed timbers and a brick inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove.  Off this is a dual aspect study with windows to the side and rear of the property.  The dining room has a brick fireplace with wood burning stove, windows to the front of the property, stairs rising to the first floor landing with an understairs cupboard, and doors off to the kitchen and sitting room.  The  sitting room has two windows with lovely countryside views.  The kitchen is fitted with high and low level wall units and there is a stainless steel sink with drainers.  There is space for an electric oven with bottled gas connection.  There is a window overlooking the rear of the property.  Adjoining is a shelved pantry and also the utility room with space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer.  This has a fitted cupboard, window and door to the exterior as well as doors to a boiler room which houses the oil-fired boiler, and also to the cloakroom with WC and handwash basin. 

The first floor landing has dormer windows to the rear of the property, a built-in storage cupboard and an airing cupboard with hot water tank.  Doors lead off to the three bedrooms and bathroom.  Bedroom one is a spacious double with windows to the front and rear, and a built-in wardrobe.  The second bedroom can be used as a double and has a window to the front and a built in wardrobe.  Adjacent to this is a bathroom comprising a handwash basin, WC, bath with shower attachment and window to the front.  The third bedroom is a dual aspect double, with superb views.

Outside                                      
The property is approached from Depper Dip Lane via a 150 metre track which leads to parking.  Adjacent to this is a prefabricated garage and a couple of garden sheds.  To the rear of the house is a shingle patio area beyond which are trees and the river.  To the front of the house is a garden as well as mature trees and additional land which can be brought back into meadow use.  In all, the grounds extend to 6.5 acres.       

Viewing Strictly by appointment with the agent.  

Services 

Mains electricity.

Private drainage system (it is the agent's opinion that whilst the current septic tank is likely to work in a satisfactory manner, it would not comply with the modern regulations and as part of the bigger refurbishment programme, an incoming buyer should budget to install a new sewage treatment plant.  This has been taken into account within the guide price.)

Mains water (this is via a private pipe from the vendor's farm with a sub-meter in place, charged annually.  Whilst the arrangement can continue, interested parties may wish to investigate installing a bore hole with filtration plant so that they are self sufficient.)

Oil-fired central heating.

Bottled gas for the hob.
