"Located on the outskirts of Blackmore village, along the coveted Nine Ashes Road stands this impressive detached, GDII listed, character cottage which can be dated back to the early 1700 s. Sitting on good sized plot, Walnut Tree Cottage is a fabulous modern home set over three levels, which has been beautifully refurbished and yet still retains some of the wonderful original character features, including exposed beams to the walls and ceilings and red brick fireplaces with exposed brick chimney breast which rises through the centre of the property. There is accommodation of around 2583 sq.ft which includes four bedrooms, two shower rooms and a bathroom, three receptions and a large kitchen family room. There is excellent parking provided, by way of a spacious in and out carriage driveway, in addition to a large, detached garage, whilst to the rear a well tended garden which includes a detached outbuilding, enjoys a pleasant outlook with field views beyond. Coming to the market with no onward chain, we urge interested parties to view at their earliest convenience.

A central canopied porch with oak front door opens into the two ground floor reception rooms, both rooms are of a good size and are divided by an original red brick fireplace which has been fitted with a wood burning stove, with inset wooden beam over. The exposed red brick chimney provides a unique character feature extending through each level of this lovely home. There are large, modern floor tiles which are laid to the whole of the ground floor. To the rear of the property, with wonderful views of the garden via two sets of bi folding doors, is a modern kitchen family room. This is a beautiful space providing ample space for dining and relaxing, and there is an oak staircase rising to the first floor level with glass balustrade. At one end you will find a beautifully crafted kitchen with dark grey base units and contrasting, light grey wall units which provide excellent storage, and there is also an integrated oven and hob with extractor above with space for additional appliances. From the kitchen you have access into a further reception room which has potential to be used as a fifth bedroom, from this room you also have access into a modern ground floor shower room, a utility room and access into the rear garden. The layout to this part of the ground floor means that it has potential for an annexe type set up if required.

Rising to the first floor level an l shaped landing has doors into two of the bedrooms and into the bathroom. On the landing you will see a continuation of the stunning red brick fireplace with exposed brick chimney. Both bedrooms are of good size and proportion and have ample space for any bedroom furniture. The bathroom is fully tiled and includes a tile panelled bath with shower over, wash hand basin set into a modern unit and a w.c. There is a further oak staircase with glass balustrade which rises to the second floor level where you will find the remaining two bedrooms and a shower room with shower cubicle, wash hand basin and w.c. The bedrooms on the second floor level have windows to the front and rear which provide wonderful views of the garden and of the fields beyond. Viewers will note that there are original wooden beams to the walls and ceilings which can be found on all three levels of this lovely home.

Externally, the property sits on a good sized and well maintained plot. To the rear you will find a large garden which commences with a paved patio with low brick retaining wall. There is a step up to a neat lawn with timber panelled fences to the side and a post and rail fence to the rear, allowing you to make the most of the beautiful outlook this home has to offer. At the bottom of the garden there is a large outbuilding with power and light connected which has excellent potential for a workshop, gym or games room. Walnut Tree Cottage is set well back from the road and has excellent parking by way of an in and out carriage driveway which also provides access to a large, detached garage with barn style doors and pedestrian access into the rear garden.
