DESCRIPTION
Comice Cottage is a delightful family home situated in the popular village of Matfield (village of the year 2010). The current owner has lived at the property for thirty years, enjoying the scenic rural life the location has to offer. I am informed that only today the vendor watched a dozen deer in the field to the front of the property, which in our opinion is a fabulous rural aspect. Comice offers versatile accommodation, comprising entrance porch, entrance hall. Leading off to the right, sitting room and archway through to study. From the entrance hall leading left to dining room. Straight on along the hallway utility room and cloakroom and feature archway through to fabulous family kitchen/breakfast room, which offers double doors leading out to rear garden and patio area. To the first floor, master bedroom with en-suite, two further double bedrooms, single bedroom and delightful family bathroom.Outside the property offers in excess of two acres to the rear which could accommodate equine facilities, with neighbouring farms to the side. Outside tap, outside security lighting. Large patio area and fabulous triple size garage (double doors to front), which was a later addition, offering pitched tiled roof, measuring 23'1 x 18'2, and we are informed by the vendor this was built to double skin specification, so subject to planning permission, could accommodate granny annexe/studio potential.
