DESCRIPTION / VENDORS COMMENTS
\"Broads Orchard is believed to date from around 1490. Its construction is an A frame cruck and only between two to three thousand such buildings are believed to now exist in England and Wales. It is therefore very much a characterful rarity within today's housing stock. It is probable that this was built as two agricultural workers' cottages. The previous owner converted them to one house in the 1960's. The tiled roof parts on each end were originally stock sheds for use by the respective occupants, these too compounds and were integrated into the house at this time. .The cottage offers good sized flexible living space, the current owners having both maintained the property and preserved the historical wealth of features. These include not only extensive wall and ceiling timbers, but also an exposed wattle panel, the remaining original windows and glass panes, the large inglenook fireplace with side seating, salt store recess and bread oven.At the same time a number of major improvemnts have been made to the property so that it now provides the comfort and amenities associated with today's modern lifestyle. A full LPG central heating/hot water system is run by a Worcester Bosch Combi boiler. The property has been rewired and has an up to date inspection certificate. Everest secondary glazing is fitted to the majority of the windows. The bathroom and shower room have been refitted and an upstairs vanity unit/WC forms an en suite facility to the master bedroom. The cottage has been entirely re-thatched using water reed which has a lifespan of up 65-75 years indeed the front was only finished and re-ridged in February 2014. the decorative ridge embellishments have been restored to the earliest known identifiable pattern used on the cottage. Both chimneys were re-pointed in 2013.This cottage has lost none of its quintessential character by the process of renewal, the owners believe it has a desirable synergy of ancient and modern. The entrance hall provides double storage cupboards, plumbing for a washing machine and hanging space for coats. There is a shower with WC and a fully fitted family bathroom next to it. The Howdens kitchen has an extensive range of wall and base units and Belfast sink, and includes a gas hob/electric double oven range cooker together with space for under counter fridge and freezer. The dining room and lounge are open plan and constitute a flexible space for the main living area, leading to a downstairs double bedroom and a room the current owners prefer to use as a good sized study rather than a single bedroom. Upstairs there is a landing with double storage cupboards with hanging space. also giving loft access via a rectractable metal ladder. Both bedrooms are doubles, the main bedroom is a particularly good size with a range of built in wardrobes as well as the en suite facility.Outside. the entrance is via a relaid stone driveway to the double carport and additional car parking/turning area. The garden is predominantly to the front of the property. It is a feature that demonstrates the current owners' passion for gardening as, with the exception of some mature trees, much of what is there now has been designed and planted by them. To the front there is a central lawned area with various feature borders and further lawned/border areas off. A 'woodland walk' has been created through the trees giving a spectacular Spring display with extensive bulb plantings. In the Summer the collection of specimen Acer trees is then a stunning feature, yet there is still room for conifers and grasses and even 2 apple trees. The fishpond has a child/animal proof cover for safety. Screened seating/patio areas around the garden allow enjoyment of the garden from different vistas and to be able to pick from sunny and shady spots during the day. There is also a hexagonal wooden summerhouse and patio to the far side of the driveway.To the rear is a further area of lawn with views over open fields and hills from which to watch the setting sun in the West throughout the year. A gravelled utility area provides a rotary washing line, two shelved and alarmed sheds, a log store, outside tap and LPG tank. Exterior power points have been provided, as well as 2 exterior lights and 2 spotlights at strategic points.Broads Orchard is truly a property a property not to be missed by discerning buyers.\"Viewings By Appointment with the Agent or via the vendors on 07796180870
