Accommodation Summary

Ground Floor

Well proportioned sitting, living, dining rooms and kitchen make up the majority of the ground floor. The front elevation is south facing and therefore flooded with natural light. Utility and storage space is available off the kitchen and on the other side of the house is a downstairs bathroom suite. A split level annexe could certainly be easily made at this end, potentially incorporating one of the downstairs reception rooms too. It may be possible subject to the necessary consents to extend the kitchen and create a larger kitchen diner at ground floor level, which in our opinion would transform the property.

First Floor

In the main house are 3 double bedrooms 2 adjoin each other and family bathroom. As with downstairs, the opportunity is here to renovate and potentially remodel. The fourth bedroom is accessed via second staircase, which also has a separate entrance door.

Outside

Approached via a private driveway lined with trees, Meux Cottage is perfectly tucked away from the High Street, whilst enjoying a village centre location. The charming south facing gardens have been lovingly tended over the years and extending to in excess of 1 3rd acre. There s a substantial garage, garden store and piggery which could also be converted.
