"Originally two cottages and Part of the Clouds Estate, 27 28 Milton was constructed in the late seventeenth early eighteenth century of mainly stone elevations under a recently re thatched and combed wheat straw roof. A later brick built addition with a clay tiled catslide roof was added at the rear and, after significant refurbishment in 2013, the property now appears to be in excellent order, with modern fittings and a great deal of period charm.

The reception rooms are tiled and neutrally decorated, and are light and bright with south facing lead light and mullioned windows. Each room has a fireplace recess and the sitting room has the benefit of a woodburning effect gas fire. The bespoke kitchen is fitted to a high standard and open to the dining hall, while off the sitting room is a large utility boot room with access to the rear terrace. Steps from the sitting room lead up to a study, which looks out over the garden.

Each of the double bedrooms are accessed via separate staircases and are of a good size with excellent ensuite bathrooms. Off one bathroom is a door leading to a loft room, which could be put to a variety of uses.

Agent s Note The ground floor is on different levels and the stairs leading to the bedrooms are steep with shallow treads .

The gardens are a particular feature and provide a delightful backdrop; they are on a gradual southerly slope and back onto woodland at the rear. There is a paved and gravelled area set on two levels, and beautifully planted terracing which climbs a slight incline away from the house. Dotted with perennial shrubs and flanked by lavender beds, the wide steps lead to a lawn, at the top of which is estate fencing and a gate opening to the orchard.

There is paved car parking to the side of the cottage, and through a high, timber gate, there is access to the storeroom which also houses the oil fired boiler, hot water cylinder and water softener.

To the front of the property is a small, gravelled garden set behind wrought iron fencing; the front facade is clad with wisteria with two distinctively thatched porches in front of the two original front doors.

In all, the plot amounts to approximately 1 3 acre.
