SUMMARY
Steeped in history, Square Cottage is a delightful detached residence blending traditional charm with modern comfort, set in the traditional village of Gressenhall. One of the oldest properties on the street, the flint exterior section was previously used as a cobbler's shop, now used as a ground floor bedroom. Unwind in the cosy sitting room with wood-burning stove, enjoy a coffee in the stylish kitchen/breakfast room, or entertain family and friends in the spacious lounge or stunning garden room flooded with natural light. 4 spacious bedrooms span both floors including a main bedroom with separate dressing area, dual access en-suite shower room to bedrooms 2 and 3, plus a ground floor bedroom and family bathroom for ultimate versatility. Downstairs, the kitchen/breakfast room, lounge, garden room and bathroom all benefit from underfloor heating, whilst a modern garden cabin offers the perfect location for a home office, studio, summer house and more. Endless possibilities await!
OUTSIDE
This charming property fronts the road bounded by modern fencing and a gate leading to the entrance. The driveway can be found to the rear of the garden, providing off-road parking for multiple vehicles, with a gate providing access into the rear garden. The south-west facing, cottage-style garden unfolds beyond patio doors from the garden room with 2 separate seating areas, creating the perfect location for entertaining family or friends, al fresco dining, or simply to relax and unwind in the peaceful surroundings. The thoughtfully landscaped garden features mature, tropical planting including a clumping, non-invasive bamboo, lawn area and attractive borders which cope well with the heat and are well-sheltered from the cold, providing year-round interest. The oil tank is discreetly hidden behind willow fencing, whilst a modern garden cabin offers plenty of potential to suit individual needs.
