An exceptional, thatched country cottage, beautifully presented both inside and out, with a wonderful garden of half-an-acre, set in a tranquil and much-sought-after rural village location with excellent road and rail access.

Kisby’s Cottage is a unique and exquisite 'picture postcard' Grade 2 listed 16th century thatched, detached cottage which was comprehensively restored twenty years ago by highly-respected builders R. W. Armstrong and Sons. Since then, the cottage has been assiduously maintained to an exceptional standard by the present owner, with the roof having been completely re-thatched to the highest standards in May this year. The property retains a great deal of its original character and charm and is now ready for immediate occupation.

Exceptionally for a Grade 2 listed building, Kisby's Cottage has Implemented Planning Permission for an extension to create additional ground and first floor living spaces; plans are available from the selling agent.

Description:
Currently, on entering via the front porch, to the right is a charming sitting room with a lovely Inglenook feature fireplace with log burner and bread oven; plenty of exposed beams; and French doors looking out to both the front and rear gardens. Some original timbers divide this space from a quiet study with an under-stairs storage cupboard and stairs to the first floor. On the other side of the front porch is a second staircase to the first floor; a separate dining room with a fireplace; and a delightful and well-planned kitchen with integrated fridge and dishwasher. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a shower room/utility room with shower, sink, W/C and washing machine, next to the rear porch door which opens to the rear patio and garden. On the first floor are two double bedrooms approached by the two separate staircases. The principal bedroom has its own bathroom.

Outside:
The cottage is on a quiet country lane and approached via a five-bar gate beyond which there is an ample private drive and access to the wood-built double garage. The well-fenced, picturesque and beautifully-kept private gardens are an exceptional feature of the cottage and surround the property on all sides. Across the front garden runs a small stream, spanned by an ornate little footbridge which provides access to the garden office/studio, fitted for light and power, whose ample space could find many uses. The gardens of half-an-acre are landscaped and laid out in attractive borders with large areas of open lawn, several mature trees and shrubs, a small pond and a delightful, ornamental thatched well on its own patio.

Early viewing of this quintessential country cottage is very highly recommended.

Services:
Mains electricity, water and drainage. A new oil fired Boiler was installed in 2021 and has a five-year warranty. There is a satellite dish and broadband access via landline.

The next steps...

Before making an offer on a property you will want to consider your financial situation, your income and outgoings.

Will you finance the purchase of your next property from the sale of an existing property which can put you in a chain, arrange a mortgage through your bank or buy the property outright.
 
To help you finance your next property purchase, we have a long established relationship with an independent mortgage broker who can discuss your situation with you.

Remember that having a 'mortgage decision in principle' can make you a more attractive buyer when you make an offer on a property. Contact our mortgage advisers for free, no obligation and impartial advice.
 
Some advantages of a broker are:

  • They do all the legwork for you, working on your behalf with the lender
  • They compare wholesale mortgage rates from a large number of banks and lenders all at once
  • Wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
  • You get more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
  • Brokers can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
  • Are typically easier to get in contact with, less bureaucratic.

However with your bank maybe able to:

  • Build off existing relationship (discounts if you have a checking/saving account)
  • You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
  • Perhaps more trustworthy, more accountable than a smaller shop
  • Lower interest rates in some cases
  • Ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.

When it comes to making an offer on a property a bit of negotiation is to be expected, however don't offer so little that you end up in a lengthy negotiation process, as you might lose the property altogether if someone else makes a higher bid.

If other offers have been made on a property we aren't legally able to tell you what they are, but we may indicate if they were close to the asking price.
