The Approach Screened from the lane in which it sits by clipped evergreen hedging, this delightful thatched cottage occupies a broad plot with garden to three sides. The main entrance to the property is via the broad gravel drive immediately in front of the two-bay car port, which has a rear store / workshop, where in addition to the two open bays, there is parking for three to four vehicles. The parking area is separated from the garden by a hedged fence and a gate gives entrance into the garden where a winding stone sett path leads us to the front door. This section of the garden has a number of mature and young fruit trees with a well tended lawn and two formal flower beds edged in rope stone with a range of perennial shrubs and roses. In one corner there is a hexagonal wooden pergola and a well trimmed conifer hedge provides a screen and boundary to the section of garden, directly to the rear of the house. If we walk past the front door, the lawn opens out into a third area and to the rear of this area, screened by open trellis work, are the twin Calor gas storage tanks that supply the main heating fuel for the property. Entrance Hall Entrance to the property is by a half glazed stable style door which leads directly in to the entrance hall. This has well-weathered exposed pine flooring and from here the stairs wind up in a dog leg to the first floor. Bedroom One A pine tongue and groove ledge and brace door on the left leads into bedroom one. This is a bright, airy room with dual aspect windows to the front and side. In the recent extension section there is a walk-in wardrobe which is fitted with a variety of hanging rails. En Suite Shower Room The adjacent plain tongue and groove door leads into the shower room. This has been recently installed by the current owners and has a walk in shower cubicle composed of a glazed brick wall and a swing screen door. There is a wall mounted electric shower unit. The suite is comprised of a contemporary white porcelain low level WC and a square porcelain wash hand basin mounted on a wood effect base unit. The flooring is exposed and stained pine boarding and the walls are part tiled, the remainder being painted tongue and groove paneling. Office / Bedroom Three Back in the hallway we are going to take the stairs up to the first floor room which, when purchased, was the third bedroom. This is a broadly rectangular room which has a partly vaulted ceiling and lead light double glazed windows looking out to the front, whilst to the rear a pair of glazed French doors open out onto a Juliet balcony. There are sliding doors to a double wardrobe and a built in drawer unit. This room is currently furnished with a day bed and office furniture and is used as a study although it would have ideal use as an office or hobby room. It could revert to bedroom use subject to the necessary changes. Lounge Returning to the hallway we take the remaining ledge and brace door into the main lounge. This room has two sets of windows overlooking the front ensuring that this is light and bright. There are some exposed ceiling beams which complement the simple red-brick open hearth fireplace. This is inset with a cast iron, coal effect Calor gas stove. There are two doors leading off of this room, one to the inner corridor and the other to the; Dining room This is a broadly square room with dual aspect windows to front and side. Again, this has a small number of exposed beams to the walls and a similar fireplace to the main lounge equipped with an electric log effect cast iron stove. The flooring is formed from distressed broad oak planks. There is an exposed open studwork wall which leads in directly to the kitchen. Kitchen This is a bright, breezy room with dual aspect lead light windows to the rear and the sides. It is fully fitted with a range of Shaker style cream painted base and wall units. The work surfaces are created from antiqued oak planks and this is inset with a Villeroy & Boch butler style porcelain sink. Adjacent to the sink is a Bosch built in dishwasher and a full height double door Bosch fridge and freezer. Set against the open studwork wall there is a Rangemaster Calor gas range five-burner range cooker with electric double oven and grill and a black iron and glass cooker hood. The flooring in this area is formed from the same antiqued oak planking as the work tops, creating a harmonious style throughout. Utility Room Bi-fold glazed doors lead out into the internal hallway. This gives access to the remaining rooms of the house which we will come to in due course but immediately on our right we move into the small utility lobby. This is formed from stock brick and UPVC glazed panels with a half glazed door to the rear garden. There are matching wall units to the kitchen and a laminated work surface under which there is space and plumbing for washing machine and tumble drier. The tiled floor makes this an ideal boot room for dogs or for gardeners coming in from the main garden. Cloakroom / W.C. Returning to the inner hall there is a door into a large, deep storage closet, and opposite that is the separate WC. This operates also as the guest cloakroom has a low level WC and a small white porcelain wall mounted wash hand basin. A white ladder rack heated towel rail provides heating and towel storage. Bathroom Moving back down the hallway we pass a door on the left which leads back into the main lounge whilst on the right a classic cottage door leads into the bathroom. This has recently been completely refurbished by the current owners, and has a tiled shower cubicle with a chrome drench pan head and glazed swing screen door. The focal point is the stylish a cast iron claw and ball foot, roll top bath with end mounted chrome mixer tap and hand-held shower attachment. A built in unit on one wall contains the small vanity style wash hand basin and concealed flush for the low level WC. High intensity inset ceiling lights and a white ladder rack towel rail complete the ensemble. Bedroom Two The remaining room on the tour is at the end of the corridor and is bedroom two; a good sized double room with a three door built in wardrobe. There are double glazed double French doors leading out onto the rear patio bringing a lot of light flooding into this room an allowing accessed to the un-overlooked section of the garden. Garden Retracing our steps down the corridor into the utility lobby we are taking the door out into the courtyard rear garden. This area is mainly laid to crazy paving but there is extensive raised decking area with border trellising which provides a very delightful exterior dining area with places for the barbecue and other garden furniture. This is a private area screened from road by the house and from the field to the rear by mature hedging. To one side of the decking there is a small block built store with two separate doors and storage areas. Beyond this there is a small timber greenhouse which provides facilities for keen cottage gardeners. This garden is fenced and gated at both ends from the other two garden sections.

The Approach Situated in a country lane on the outskirts of Chelmsford the front boundary immediately gives an indication of the charm of the cottage to follow. It is a redbrick wall inset with faced flints. A five bar gate to the side of the cottage gives access to the rear garden and the drive leading to the two bay cart lodge. This area has been recently completely refurbished and re-roofed and it also has an adjoining workshop store area. Even this humble building has an astonishing character; the floor is composed of five old mill grindstones, presumably from a nearby windmill. The front garden is a typical cottage garden layout with a brick path centrally splitting two lawns leading to the front door. The borders are planted with a mass of perennial flowers and shrubs. Crazy paved pathways branch in either direction from the front door and lead to the side of the property and into the rear garden. .Entrance Hall There is a small entrance vestibule facing onto the side of the central chimney with doors branching left and right to the principle reception rooms. Lounge Going to the right we enter the larger of the two reception rooms, which was two separate rooms and the exposed oak beamed studwork wall is still in place. The central feature of this room is the exquisite inglenook fireplace with its oak bressumer fully five foot above the flagstone hearth. A black iron cowl has been inserted allowing the grate to be used for solid fuel or logs. There is an absolute mass of exposed beams in this room and on the rear wall the exposed mullions of an original window, which at one time would have been on an external wall, are still visible. The owners were careful to preserve one panel, in the separating studwork, which is of the original wattle and daub composition. There is a timber door in the rear wall leading to the study and bathroom sections. Dining room Going back through the entrance vestibule into the second reception area which is currently used as a dining room. This brightly lit room has a more modest inglenook fireplace with a redbrick hearth. This is furnished with an oil fired cast iron stove which has a boiler section supplying heating and domestic hot water. A ledge and brace stable door leads into the kitchen. Kitchen This is furnished with a range of oak door fitted units with laminated worktops. There is an electric hob, electric oven and grill, full height fridge freezer and space for a dishwasher. There is a delightful ledge and brace pine door that leads out into the back garden. The ceiling height is noticeably higher in this room which adds to the sense of spaciousness. Garden Room We go through the door on the rear wall of the dining room into a single storey section that runs right across the rear of the building and this provides space three separate areas. The first is a garden room currently used as a study/library with views over the rear garden. In the mid-section there is a rear lobby which has plumbing and space for a washing machine. A door leads into the third section which is the bathroom. Bathroom This is furnished with a transfer decorated four piece suite comprising panel bath, pedestal sink, bidet and low level W.C. The stairs lead from the dining room via the original oak door and again the eccentricity of the property becomes evident as after a few steps the stairs split to the right and left. Immediately ahead are the breastworks of the central chimney. Going to the right we enter the main bedroom. Master Bedroom The pine boards on the floor are complimented by a degree of exposed wall beams, there are two dormer windows, one to the front and one to the rear. This is a spacious room with good ceiling height. Above the door the utterly unique feature of this property becomes evident. The top section of the chimney is still an original timber and plaster chimney stack and is one of the very few remaining in Essex. This has been topped off in modern times with a contemporary brick chimney which goes through the roof. The integrity of the chimney has been preserved by the insertion of a stainless steel suspended flue. Landing /Bedroom Three Returning to the dividing stairs, we take the left hand route and we come into a large and well lit landing. This has previously been partitioned off to provide a third bedroom and it would be easy to do so again. Looking carefully at the plaster panels between the oak beams on the central fireplace you can quickly spot that one is in fact a secret door which leads to a very compact W.C. with wash hand basin. The floorboards in this room are of particular note being the original broad elm planks. Bedroom Two We come into the second bedroom which is slightly smaller in depth than bedroom one but still a very generous and comfortable sized double bedroom. This has windows facing out onto the courtyard side garden. The Gardens Walking in to the rear garden from the kitchen there is a crazy paved pathway which meanders around the rear of the property past the other two doors which would give access back in via the study and the utility lobby. The garden is bound to the left side with a Hawthorn hedge and to the rear by a more modest trimmed shrub hedge. There are lawn areas and a couple of fruit trees, one an quince and one a meddler. The property has one more surprise to offer. The Granary To the rear right section of the garden is the original granary. This is of Essex weatherboard construction, set, as you would expect, on high brick pillars with raised door threshold and inside provides a substantial storage area. This is a property of immense character which shows everywhere the love and attention that has been lavished upon it in not only returning it to its high standard presentation but also in maintaining it.

There is a primary school in neighbouring Aslacton and secondary schooling at both Diss and Long Stratton. The mainline train station at Diss provides regular intercity services to Norwich, Ipswich and London Liverpool Street. The nearby A140 allows direct access into Norwich, the retail, business and cultural hub of East Anglia. The countryside and quiet lanes surrounding Great Moulton provide many interesting walks and recreation activities. The Property: Carpenters Cottage has origins that may be traced back to the 17th Century with the traditional rooms displaying classic features of quality timber frame and oak beams, pamment flooring and an impressive open inglenook fireplace. The property stands within grounds approaching one third of an acre and provides well proportioned living space of around 1, 700 sq.ft. arranged over two floors. Over time, the cottage has been extended and enhanced considerably with a new wing being added incorporating the present garden room, a third bedroom and modern bathroom. From the garden room glass doors open on to a terrace and south facing garden. Attractively timbered floor and brick walls complement the historic beams and brickwork of the original cottage. Upon entering the dining room one is immediately struck by the impressive open inglenook fireplace that connects the dining and sitting room. Set within the inglenook is a double sided Villager woodburning stove keeping these rooms warm and cosy. The kitchen has been fitted with a good range of cabinets with matching wall units and appliances including a built-in fridge, freezer, dishwasher and a Leisure gas/electric cooking range.

The front of the property is well screened by mature conifer hedging which if opened up, would provide fine views over rolling farmland. Predominantly, the gardens lie to the rear and are south facing, backing on to woodland. A wide area of lawn contains a variety of mature trees, a pond and garden terrace.

The Approach Situated in a country lane on the outskirts of Chelmsford the front boundary immediately gives an indication of the charm of the cottage to follow. It is a redbrick wall inset with faced flints. A five bar gate to the side of the cottage gives access to the rear garden and the drive leading to the two bay cart lodge. This area has been recently completely refurbished and re-roofed and it also has an adjoining workshop store area. Even this humble building has an astonishing character; the floor is composed of five old mill grindstones, presumably from a nearby windmill. The front garden is a typical cottage garden layout with a brick path centrally splitting two lawns leading to the front door. The borders are planted with a mass of perennial flowers and shrubs. Crazy paved pathways branch in either direction from the front door and lead to the side of the property and into the rear garden. .Entrance Hall There is a small entrance vestibule facing onto the side of the central chimney with doors branching left and right to the principle reception rooms. Lounge Going to the right we enter the larger of the two reception rooms, which was two separate rooms and the exposed oak beamed studwork wall is still in place. The central feature of this room is the exquisite inglenook fireplace with its oak bressumer fully five foot above the flagstone hearth. A black iron cowl has been inserted allowing the grate to be used for solid fuel or logs. There is an absolute mass of exposed beams in this room and on the rear wall the exposed mullions of an original window, which at one time would have been on an external wall, are still visible. The owners were careful to preserve one panel, in the separating studwork, which is of the original wattle and daub composition. There is a timber door in the rear wall leading to the study and bathroom sections. Dining room Going back through the entrance vestibule into the second reception area which is currently used as a dining room. This brightly lit room has a more modest inglenook fireplace with a redbrick hearth. This is furnished with an oil fired cast iron stove which has a boiler section supplying heating and domestic hot water. A ledge and brace stable door leads into the kitchen. Kitchen This is furnished with a range of oak door fitted units with laminated worktops. There is an electric hob, electric oven and grill, full height fridge freezer and space for a dishwasher. There is a delightful ledge and brace pine door that leads out into the back garden. The ceiling height is noticeably higher in this room which adds to the sense of spaciousness. Garden Room We go through the door on the rear wall of the dining room into a single storey section that runs right across the rear of the building and this provides space three separate areas. The first is a garden room currently used as a study/library with views over the rear garden. In the mid-section there is a rear lobby which has plumbing and space for a washing machine. A door leads into the third section which is the bathroom. Bathroom This is furnished with a transfer decorated four piece suite comprising panel bath, pedestal sink, bidet and low level W.C. The stairs lead from the dining room via the original oak door and again the eccentricity of the property becomes evident as after a few steps the stairs split to the right and left. Immediately ahead are the breastworks of the central chimney. Going to the right we enter the main bedroom. Master Bedroom The pine boards on the floor are complimented by a degree of exposed wall beams, there are two dormer windows, one to the front and one to the rear. This is a spacious room with good ceiling height. Above the door the utterly unique feature of this property becomes evident. The top section of the chimney is still an original timber and plaster chimney stack and is one of the very few remaining in Essex. This has been topped off in modern times with a contemporary brick chimney which goes through the roof. The integrity of the chimney has been preserved by the insertion of a stainless steel suspended flue. Landing /Bedroom Three Returning to the dividing stairs, we take the left hand route and we come into a large and well lit landing. This has previously been partitioned off to provide a third bedroom and it would be easy to do so again. Looking carefully at the plaster panels between the oak beams on the central fireplace you can quickly spot that one is in fact a secret door which leads to a very compact W.C. with wash hand basin. The floorboards in this room are of particular note being the original broad elm planks. Bedroom Two We come into the second bedroom which is slightly smaller in depth than bedroom one but still a very generous and comfortable sized double bedroom. This has windows facing out onto the courtyard side garden. The Gardens Walking in to the rear garden from the kitchen there is a crazy paved pathway which meanders around the rear of the property past the other two doors which would give access back in via the study and the utility lobby. The garden is bound to the left side with a Hawthorn hedge and to the rear by a more modest trimmed shrub hedge. There are lawn areas and a couple of fruit trees, one an quince and one a meddler. The property has one more surprise to offer. The Granary To the rear right section of the garden is the original granary. This is of Essex weatherboard construction, set, as you would expect, on high brick pillars with raised door threshold and inside provides a substantial storage area. This is a property of immense character which shows everywhere the love and attention that has been lavished upon it in not only returning it to its high standard presentation but also in maintaining it. http://www.arkadia.com/zpoc-t871939/
