About this property

DESCRIPTION Honeysuckle Cottage comprises a wonderfully charming four-bedroom cottage dating to the 16th century with later additions, situated in the popular village of Keswick, within striking distance of the City and A11 trunk road. The house is constructed of traditional brick elevations under a mix of thatch and pantile roofs and is Listed Grade II as a property of architectural and historic interest. The property was re-thatched in 2020. The whole is a super opportunity for buyers keen to establish themselves in a special village with a property offered in exceptional order, enjoying both front and rear gardens with extensive parking and garaging whilst being in a particularly private spot.

The house is approached at the front into a porch entrance which provides access to the music room/bedroom four and the main staircase hall. The accommodation is well arranged on the ground floor and comprises a delightful kitchen breakfast room, utility room, shower room, dining room and sitting room that both enjoy wonderful inglenook fireplaces, typical of the period.

Off the dining room lies the focal point of the property being the modern garden room with glass and exposed oak beams which perfectly blend in with the character of the original house. The views here across the gardens and terrace are delightful.

On the first floor there are two double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a family bathroom off the main landing. All bedrooms enjoy good views over the associated grounds.

The gardens and grounds are a major feature of this property. There are most attractive good sized enclosed cottage style gardens to the front and rear together with an attractive terrace off the garden room and established kitchen garden at the front. The gardens at the rear are particularly attractive and have been lovingly tended with established beds bordered by sleepers with various seating areas across this space.

There is parking for several vehicles via the main shingled drive, and there is also parking within the timber clad double garage.
