Presenting traditional Victorian red brick and flint elevations, under a slate pitched roof, this is a character mid terraced cottage that has been partially modernized and offers a good range of accommodation with potential to put your own stamp on it.

A timber cottage door leads you directly into the dining area, of the open plan kitchen-dining room. This room has ceramic tiled flooring throughout, and has a basic range of kitchen cupboards, with a sink unit under a window to the rear, and has space for cooker and appliances, and has a timber back door leading out to the private courtyard behind. There is a built-in cupboard and shelving to one side of the fireplace recess. There is scope to improve this area and personalize it to your own taste.

The sitting room beyond is open plan with two double glazed windows to the front. There is a painted exposed brick wall, with potential to perhaps open up or install a feature fireplace. There is exposed timber floorboard flooring, some exposed ceiling timbers, and a single glazed window to the rear. There is a feature decorative metal spiral staircase leading up to the first floor.

The landing has a small single-glazed window overlooking the rear, and is a good size area, leading to all rooms.

The spacious family bathroom comprises two sections, initially a WC and basin, with single glazed window to the rear, and leading through into a further area with a bath and separate shower cubicle and has a further single-glazed window to the rear. Beside the bathroom is a large walk-in storage cupboard with shelving.

Heating is supplied via a mains gas boiler, and radiators, as mentioned the cottage is partially double glazed (uPVC to the front elevation only) so older wooden single glazed windows to the rear elevation that would now benefit from updating for both cosmetic and insulating properties.

Agent’s Note
Please note the layout of the first floor extends across and over the neighbouring ground floor, meaning there is a ‘Flying Freehold’ associated to a portion of bedrooms one and three.

There is also an historic ‘right of the owners or occupiers of neighbouring cottages to draw and use water from the pump and well on the property, upon paying a proportionate part of the cost of keeping the same in repair.’ Our vendor believes however this pump feature is just now purely decorative.

Directions
Tut Hill is approached, off the mini-roundabout at the junction of A1101 and B1106, in Fornham All Saints, coming from Mildenhall Road, just past the recreation ground and community centre. Turn left here and the property will be found just further along on the right hand side.
