Description An opportunity to acquire a rarely available and charming detached country cottage, believed to have been constructed during the course of the 18th century with later additions, situated in the heart of a conservation area within the highly desirable rural hamlet of Blackstone. Prior to the current owner taking occupation approximately 38 years ago, the property was firstly a 'Beer House' and small brewery up to, we understand, around 1932, then a Post Office/general stores up to about 1977. There are many features that includes a larger than expected, well stocked rear garden as well as a large extension to the rear that could have a variety of uses including first floor sitting room, office, possible annexe or master bedroom suite, subject to any necessary consents. This room is currently being used as an Artist's studio and has plenty of natural light with glazed casement doors and a staircase leading down to the rear garden. On the ground floor is a sitting room, kitchen and dining room, whilst on the first floor are three double bedrooms, bathroom and separate WC. Access to the studio is via the third bedroom. The property also benefits from a spacious attached garage that was formerly a stable and a useful outbuilding currently used as a utility room with a former brick fireplace. There are some exposed wall and ceiling timbers and an open fireplace in the sitting room. Elevations are of painted pebbledash with a slate and part catslide clay tiled roof to the rear, with the extension being constructed of painted brick with some tile hanging. An internal inspection of this pretty, quirky cottage is highly recommended. The property is approached via a Covered Entrance Porch, timber front door to Sitting/Dining Room, triple aspect room with double glazed square bay window overlooking the front and rear of the property. Further multi paned timber windows overlooking the side and rear of the property. Open fireplace with raised cast iron grate, timber surround and mantle. Latched door to rear lobby, further original door to Kitchen, fitted range of cream fronted units with wooden edging, laminated work surfaces comprising one and a half bowl sink top, adjoining work surfaces with drawers and cupboards under, matching hanging wall cabinets. Hotpoint double oven with separate four ring Electrolux electric hob, extractor over, space for refrigerator, space for dishwasher, vinyl flooring, some exposed ceiling timbers, part tiled walls and door to garage. Further door to Dining room (currently used as a Bedroom), square double glazed bay window overlooking the front of the property, timber floor, recessed bookcases. Stairs lead from the kitchen to the First Floor Landing, access
