Vast, quirky and fascinating are three words we would say describes this stone built cottage. Steeped in local history dating back to the 18th century and playing host to over 1800sq ft of accommodation you will not find another home quite like it.
The home's history is dated from its initial build in 1790, the rector's wife bought this cottage and the two attached for their staff. There was a large brick wash house added for the use of the wash maid in the rector's employ ( now the sizeable Kitchen ) for this specific cottage only. It enjoys close connections to St Mary the Virgin Church with views from the front aspect. It enjoys a lovely outlook onto Church Street from the front and a delightful view over Burton Latimer; notably from the Juliette Balcony off the mezzanine.
The cottage comes with a range of versatile accommodation, masses of internal space approaching 1900 sq ft. It is complimented beautifully and tastefully with a range of original/period features and updates by the current vendor. Including but not limited to the Belfast Sink, window seats, underfloor heating, solar panels and mezzzanine.
