The Property
Mulberry Cottage is a substantial, individual thatched house, listed Grade II, offering versatile and extensive living accommodation which extends to approximately 2000 sq ft. The house is believed to date back to the late 17th century and retains an impressive original timber-frame nestled beneath a neat thatched roofline which was overhauled in 2006.
Offered for sale for the first time in almost a quarter of a century, this magnificent property is steeped in history with Royal connections. Owned in 1936 by R H B M Montgomerie of Garboldisham Hall, the lease was sold to Esmond Baring. Between 1936 and 1939 the lease was voluntary assigned to Miss Olivia Baring, the daughter of Lt. Colm. Guy Baring of the Coldstream Guards. On many occasions the property was frequented by Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, along with Queen Mary to visit the Baring family, of whom were friends of the Royal family in the early 20th century. This has also been officially acknowledged by Clarence House and The Queen Mother‘s lady-in-waiting.
Outside
Mulberry Cottage is accessed from Back Street onto a gravelled driveway leading to an extensive detached single garage. The remaining front gardens are enclosed by a brick and flint wall to the front boundary with mature plants and shrubs offering a good degree of privacy. The rear gardens can be accessed from either side of the house with a pathway weaving throughout the lawns. Behind the garage is a further outbuilding with power, light and night storage heating currently set up as an office but could easily be converted into annexe accommodation (stpp). The outbuilding is divided into two sections (18‘10‘‘ x 13‘8‘‘) & (4‘ x 13‘8‘‘). At the top of the garden is a fruitful orchard and a number of raised vegetable beds ideal for those looking to be grow their own produce. The gardens also comprise a number of seating areas for alfresco dining, carp pond, bespoke water features, a number of useful sheds and a timber summerhouse. In all 0.3 acres (sts)
