The Cottage
This characterful home is set in a peaceful rural hamlet just outside Long Sutton and enjoys a private position with views across the surrounding countryside.
The property has been sensitively maintained by the current owners, preserving a wealth of period features. The thatched roof was re-laid by local master thatchers in 2021, and the house is heated via mains gas central heating.
On entering, a central hallway sets the tone for the rest of the home, with exposed beams and original detailing throughout. To the left is a large dining room with an impressive inglenook fireplace, exposed timbers and fitted storage. A window seat enjoys a pleasant outlook to the gardens.
At the rear of the property, the kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units and includes an integrated oven, gas hob, and dishwasher, with further space for a freestanding fridge. Adjoining the kitchen is a rear lobby, ideal for coats and boots, which in turn leads to a utility area and ground floor shower room.
The main sitting room is dual aspect, generously proportioned and features a second inglenook fireplace with a gas fire and another window seat. B...
