This picturesque Grade II listed, five-bedroom detached thatch cottage, set in 0.46 acres of grounds, lies at the heart of Queniborough village. Retaining the charm and character of its 1620 origins, this cottage offers a wealth of craftsmanship and period features throughout. The property has been substantially double glazed and centrally heated.
The accommodation includes a welcoming entrance hallway, sitting room, lounge, dining room, cloakroom, WC, and a dining kitchen. The rear annex offers additional living space with a garden room/sitting room/bedroom, kitchenette, and shower room. On the first floor, there are four double bedrooms, including a master with en-suite bathroom, plus a family bathroom with a roll-edge hip bath and separate shower.
Externally, the property is set back from the road, with a cobbled driveway leading to a double tandem garage. The gardens are a particularly fine feature of the property, offering expansive lawns, flagstone patios, perennial borders, hedgerows, and a solar-panel-heated outdoor swimming pool.
