Description
Found in the pretty village of Groombridge, 4 Bird in Hand Street is a charming, Grade II* Listed, end of terrace cottage with accommodation set across three floors. This cosy and characterful home is beautifully presented to enhance the abundance of period features on offer throughout.
The ground floor is home to the kitchen with a stable door and leaded-light window overlooking and opening onto the gardens to the rear of the houses. The sitting room is to the front with working fireplace, access to a very useful under stairs cupboard and separate pantry cupboard with a door onto a short set of steps leading down to Bird in Hand Street.
The first floor is home to the principal bedroom, with a fitted wardrobe and pleasant elevated view over the green to the front. The well-appointed bathroom is on this floor. The second floor enjoys a very useful loft room, used by our client as a study, which is ideal for today's working from home needs or for occasional overflow accommodation. This room leads into the second bedroom.
Outside - Paths lead to 4 Bird in Hand Street's area of private garden, with generous areas of lawn, interspersed with a number of mature shrubs and fruit trees and wide variety of colourful annual and perennial plants. 4 Bird in Hand Street enjoys the notable benefit of a garage en-bloc (on a separate title) and there is on-road parking for residents surrounding the green.
