DESCRIPTION Wellfield Parva is a picture postcard detached cottage believed to date back some 200 years with later additions boasting flexible living accommodation and a wealth of period character. The construction is flint stone with brick quoins under a tiled roof. Features include an inglenook fireplace, beams, flagstone flooring, window seating and an Aga. There are gorgeous countryside views from every window and a modern extension greatly increases the overall size but matched to the original house in a sympathetic fashion. Downstairs there is an entrance hall/snug, a lobby with a shower room, a kitchen leading to a dining room, a lounge, study and further reception room/bedroom. Upstairs there are three bedrooms and a bathroom with a large play room, alternatively ideal as the principal bedroom with potential for an ensuite shower room. There is a large, fully boarded loft. OUTSIDE The property has a gravelled drive with turning area to the side. The gardens lie mainly to the south and east with sloping lawns, a pond, vegetable patches, greenhouse, sheds and mature beds enclosed by tree and hedge borders. The owners also have a natural/untended area to encourage wildlife. At the top on the far east side is an additional drive giving access to a detached cedar wood double garage with power and lighting and an adjacent oil tank.
