YOUR OWN PICTURESQUE HAVEN

Sitting in this idyllic location, within a conservation area and overlooking the River Ouse, this beautiful thatched cottage is full of character, befitting a home that dates back around 350 years.

It is easy to see why this is a much sought after location as you walk along the banks of the river and admire the pretty as a picture row of thatched houses. For anyone looking for peace and tranquillity, this home provides that alongside a substantial private plot of land.

HISTORIC FEATURES

Walking up to the front door,  you can appreciate the picturesque view surrounding you before stepping inside this historic building. Turn to the left and enter the DINING ROOM, with its wood-burning stove, stone floors, and inviting “stand in” bay window and views to the front. As well as stairs to the first floor, there is an additional side storage cupboard next to the fireplace. 

From here, step into the KITCHEN that sits along half of the back of the property, looking out over the garden.  The kitchen currently has an IKEA double sink drainer unit with mixer taps and an electric cooker point fuse box and storage under the window. There is a door that gives access to the garden.

Turning right from the front door leads to the SITTING ROOM, which also has stone flooring and a large fireplace with a wood-burning stove. As well as a door to the garden and a window overlooking the rear garden, there is another “stand-in” bay window to the front. This large, bright room lends itself to being centred around the cosy fireplace and framing the views outside. 

A door leads to a rear HALLWAY with a second set of stairs, and the ground floor BATHROOM. This could be a real feature of the property as it is of substantial size, with plenty of natural light, a wash hand basin, low-level flush WC, and a bath.

Upstairs leads to what could be made into a THIRD BEDROOM or DRESSING ROOM/OFFICE with a window overlooking the front. A connecting door leads to the PRINCIPAL BEDROOM that also has a window to the front and then a smaller door leading to SECOND BEDROOM. Here there is a beamed ceiling, a window to the front, and the stairs that lead down to the dining room, giving it independent access from downstairs.

OUTSIDE to the rear there is a beautiful, private  garden of approximately a third of an acre that offers a wealth of possibilities. In addition, there is a large outbuilding that has a concrete base, electric light and power.

COUNTRY LIFE ON YOUR DOORSTEP 

A gentle stroll will soon have you enjoying the scenic walks and countryside that are right outside your door.  Whether nature spotting, or just ambling to the popular local pub, it won't take long to feel part of the community. Whilst you can enjoy the peace and quiet, there is also the convenience of amenities nearby in Needingworth, and St Ives is just a couple of miles away.

 VIEWING ARRANGEMENTS:

By appointment only.  Call or text Gavin Human during or after office hours.

REMOTE VIEWING TOUR:

Traditional property viewings are still vital when it comes to finding the right house. However, making these arrangements can be tricky and complicated, juggling work and home life commitments, or simply finding enough time if moving into a new area and traveling some distance.

Booking a Remote Viewing Tour puts YOU firmly in control. Arrange a day and time that is convenient for you to “look around” and I will be at the property at the appointed time to walk you around the house using WhatsApp or Facetime. The Viewing Tour can be as quick or as long as you like, making sure you have a good look round, focussing on the rooms that are important to you. This will hopefully help you decide to arrange an in person viewing at a later date.

HAVE YOU GOT A HOUSE TO SELL:

If you are thinking of moving and have yet to put your house on the market, or if you are on with another estate agent and have yet to find a buyer, I would welcome the opportunity of sharing my 30 years of estate agency experience with you. Please call Gavin Human for a free, confidential valuation and marketing review with no obligation.
