Description
A unique opportunity to purchase a detached building which comprises a pair of thatched Grade II listed cottages. The properties are of timber frame, render and plaster construction, with areas of older lath and plaster. They occupy a generous plot in the heart of the popular village of Little Thurlow, within a Conservation Area, and present a fantastic refurbishment opportunity.
The properties are in need of significant improvement and refurbishment but may also lend themselves to re-organisation of the current accommodation to either form 2 more equally-sized cottages, or to be converted in to a large single dwelling house. The property therefore offers a wonderful opportunity to owner occupiers and developer buyers alike.
The current configuration features a pair of semi-detached houses known as 114A and 114B, with each of their accommodation summarised as follows:
114A The Street
Ground Floor: Entrance Hall with door to front, stairs to first floor; Sitting Room with radiator, timber framed windows; Kitchen with a range of old base units, Lobby which leads to; Timber Rear Porch; Bathroom with radiator, old white wc, wash hand basin and bath.
First Floor: Bedroom 1 with radiator, fitted cupboard, window to side; Bedroom 2 with radiator, window to front; Bedroom 3 with radiator, fitted wardrobe, dual aspect windows.
Outside: 114A has a small timber shed/store to the rear of the accommodation which is weatherboarded under a pitched roof. There are lawned areas to the side and rear of the house.
114A is in a poor state of general repair and requires full refurbishment, including the renewal of the kitchen and bathroom fittings.
Tenure
Freehold with vacant possession

Overflow
114B The Street,
Ground Floor: Entrance Hall with timber board floor and stairs to first floor; Kitchen with modern MDF base units and wood effect worktops; Rear Porch with door to garden; Sitting Room with timber board floor, dual aspect windows; Family Bathroom with white wc, wash hand basin and bath.
First Floor: Bedroom with single glazed window to front; Dressing Room/Store Room with window to rear.
Outside: 114B benefits from a driveway to the right hand side of the accommodation which provides parking for multiple cars and leads to a weatherboarded Garage with electric up-and-over door to front.
In addition to the garage, there is a timber Workshop with weatherboarded walls beneath a felt roof with light and power connected, a Craft Room/ Studio with weatherboarded walls and power connected. Furthermore, there is a Potting Shed in the rear part of the garden and various other timber sheds and summerhouses.
114B has a generous garden plot with areas to the right hand side of the dwelling, as well as generous lawned gardens to the rear which backs on to farmland.
114B would benefit from some updating and upgrading of the accommodation and outbuildings.
The combined gross internal area of the 2 properties (114A and 114B) is approximately 151m².
The current layout of the properties is very unbalanced, with 114A's first floor overlapping the ground floor of 114B significantly (flying freehold). Purchaser's may look to re-order the accommodation to either form two more equally sized cottages, or indeed attempt to merge the accommodation to form one large single dwelling in the generous central village plot (STP).
