Old Road, Wickham St. Paul

Netherby Cottage is a charming grade II listed attached house, situated on the periphery of the village and enjoying a wonderful and quiet position adjacent to farmland. NO ONWARD CHAIN.

The property has been thoughtfully extended and now provides surprisingly well proportioned accommodation combined with a high degree of flexibility making the cottage well suited to modern life. Of particular note are the two reception rooms which are subdivided by an attractive oak stud partition and feature a magnificent inglenook fireplace. The kitchen/breakfast room enjoys French doors with an easterly aspect overlooking the garden and Netherby Cottage is complimented by a detached studio building located within the garden which offers versatile self contained work space or possible ancillary accommodation (subject to planning permission).

A glazed entrance door provides access to the well proportioned hallway which features a returning stair flight ascending to the first floor level, archway opening to the kitchen/breakfast room and doorway providing access to the sitting and dining rooms. From the hallway there is a door way opening to a wet room which features a white two piece suite and shower cubicle. The sitting and dining room are separated by a substantial oak stud partition. The room offers the flexibility of either being used as a large combined living room or as a separate dining room and separate sitting room. Within the room is a substantial inglenook fireplace with raised brick hearth and adjacent cupboard housing oil fired boiler. There is also a fireplace with external chimney breast in which stands a solid fuel burner (condition unknown). The kitchen/breakfast room features a tiled floor area with an extensive range of units providing draws and cupboards and matching wall units. Two double ovens, gas hob, space for side by side fridge freezer and matching island work station. There are windows and doors to two aspects including French doors to the garden.
