A three bedroom detached cottage located in the quaint and sought after village of Hildersham. A rare opportunity to rent a 1700's period property with lots of charm and original characteristics, having initially been used as a Forge.

Behind is the lounge which has an impressive central bricked working fireplace. There is good quality hard wooden flooring and original wooden beams line the ceiling.

The kitchen has been tastefully refitted to a high standard, offering plenty of counter and cupboard space. There is a range master cooker, extractor above and ceramic butler style sink installed. The Tenant will need to supply their own white goods and there is space for washing machine, fridge freezer and dishwasher. Wooden french doors lead to the enclosed garden, giving this home a lovely flow for entertaining as well as inside-outside dining.
Stairs rise to the first floor, where there is three good size double bedrooms all of which have wooden sash windows, that overlook the garden flooding the property with natural light. Wooden flooring continues throughout and the wide corridor gives the upstairs a spacious feel. The main bathroom is also well proportioned and is fitted with panelled bath with shower overhead, toilet and traditional style free standing sink. There is a storage cupboard that also houses the water tank.
Outside, the property has a mature enclosed garden mainly laid to lawn. Shrubs surround the perimeter and there is a paved area with fixed pergola.
