Description

Sitting nicely back from the road behind its own parking area, this attractive Victorian 2 bedroom house forms the end section of an interesting short row, all being very different to each other but with matching ‘Suffolk White’ bricks. Well improved by the current owners, this well presented period home now features oil fired radiator heating, double glazing and hard wired Fibre Broadband.

This Victorian end of terrace house forms the end section of an attractive short row of houses constructed in a Suffolk White brick as opposed to the more typical red version. This makes a striking difference and sets them apart from the majority. I have known this property professionally for over 30 years and can say it has never looked in such nice order and now benefits from a number of improvements carried out by the current owners. Oil fired radiator heating is now in situ along with an additional door inserted which connects the social kitchen dining space with the garden terrace and outdoor entertaining area. Equally, the upstairs has been modified to now provide two bedrooms, the Master bedroom benefitting from an en suite space currently used as an Office but also suitable as a Dressing Room. Notably and importantly, the bathroom is also found upstairs and with each bedroom, found off a comfortable landing space. Outside, the main garden space enjoys a high degree of privacy and contains a particularly good size workshop building along with potting shed and greenhouse.

Location

Poplar Cottage sits at the eastern end of this interesting Victorian row of village houses, on the edge of Mellis Common - the largest unfenced area of Common land in England. The village Primary School is next door should it be needed as this is a great first home for those looking for something with age and character. The village continues to tick along very nicely as it has always done with a real community spirit. A Village Hall, Railway Tavern pub, Parish Church, Bus Stop along with a football and cricket pitch ensure there is something for the majority of people. The village sits midway between the A140 and A143 ensuring good road links to the wider area along with neighbouring Eye now more easily accessible across the A140 thanks to a roundabout at Yaxley.

Direction

Poplar Cottage is easily found alongside the village through road from either the A140 and Yaxley or A143 from Wortham. Aim for the Primary School and either just before or just after the property will be seen next door with a sale board erected in order to aid identification.

Entrance Hall

From the front entrance door and canopy porch, the initial entrance area has a straight staircase heading upstairs along with panel doors off to either side. Both the ground and first floors benefit from tall ceilings. An attractive oak effect floorboard has been laid throughout the ground floor and 'walks' particularly well. Double radiator within a radiator cover. Other decorative features include cornice, deep skirting boards, brushed steel wall lights and dimmer switch

Sitting Room

4.55m x 3.33m

An appealing room with windows to two aspects including a PVCu sash type window to the main garden along with a slim period window to the front providing an outlook towards the Common. A brick fireplace and raised hearth serves as a focal point to the room and has a vented chimney flue. chimneybreast and former fireplace

Kitchen Dining Room

4.55m x 3.33m

A matching size room - classic Victorian modelling - again with this smart oak type flooring. Kitchen units extend around two walls providing a good mix of cupboard and drawer storage options including an integrated dishwasher and contemporary ceramic Butler style sink with a Combiphos system fitted beneath. A cream Rangemaster range cooker will remain complete with a matching chimney hood above. A high window above the sink provides additional natural light to that gained from the insertion of an outer double glazed door replacing an earlier window. The kitchen extends beneath stairs and provides space for an upright fridge freezer and plumbing for a washing machine. The second chimney and fireplace is now adapted with a useful cupboard. The remaining space lends itself well to dining and is well set off by a pew type bench seat along one wall which whilst freestanding may be included in the sale. Single radiator.

First Floor Landing

Having taken the straight stairs from the entrance hall, between each of the ground floor spaces, a comfortable sized landing is found serving the two bedrooms and bathroom. Access to loft space.
