The Property

1 Apple Tree Cottages dates back to the early 18th century and is a timber framed cottage with rendered elevations under a tiled roof. Being a period property, it retains much character including timber floorboards, exposed studwork and Victoria fireplaces to both floors.

The front doorway leads straight into the sitting room and immediately you will notice the bold victorian fireplace, with cast iron surround, brick hearth and inset wood burner. The room is well proportioned offering ample room for living furniture and dining room furniture for dining and entertaining. A pine door leads into the adjacent kitchen, which is well fitted with a range of shaker style wooden wall and base cupboards stretching to two walls. The room has plenty of utility space and a useful airing cupboard to the corner of the room. Inset into the workspace is a single drainer cereamic sink unit with mixer tap and in between them is a space for an electric cooker. An original range style fireplace is a most attractive feature, although is no longer working. At the back of the house is a spacious rear lobby/hallway and a family bathroom. The bathroom itself has been refitted in recent years with a modern white three piece suite, with shower attachment over the bath. Stairs rise to the first floor with a small landing area before entering into either of the two double bedrooms. Both of the bedrooms are good sized doubles and have two UPVC windows providing dual aspect views over the gardens and neighbouring arable fields. The master bedroom also has the additional benefit of a working Victorian fireplace.
