Property Description
Situated within the sought after area of Hamlet and occupying a plot of circa .62 acres. A detached four bed, four reception room cottage offered with no chain.
Property Details
Mulberry Cottage dates back to the 16th Century. History details a former name, “Old World Cottage” and is situated in the former Hamlet of Exlade Street within Checkendon. The cottage was purchased by the existing family in 1955 when the Hook End Estate of Checkendon was available at auction or private treaty as individual lots or in it’s entirety.Mulberry Cottage occupies a plot of circa .62 of an acre on Exlade Street of which the first written evidence of its existence dates back to 1241. Indeed a Neolithic flint tranchet dating from circa 3,000 BC was found in the Cottage’ garden and is now held in Reading Museum. With farmland to two sides The Highwayman Inn (Historic Gastro Pub scoring 4.5/5 on Trip Advisor)is nigh on opposite albeit hidden from view with the natural screening providing a high degree of privacy to the front. The Cottage itself has been the subject of sympathetic extensions and provides well sized, flexible accommodation which whilst maintaining a wealth of character meets the needs of a modern/growing family. From Exlade Street wooden gates open to the driveway which sweeps along the front of the property and provides parking for numerous vehicles. The garden has a gradual incline and whilst being mainly lawn, there are patio, terraces and seating areas. There are mature trees, shrubbery and hedging and an orchard too. The Cottage as mentioned before has been increased in size and has four reception rooms, kitchen, utility and ground floor shower room. The first floor has four bedroom with a family bathroom servicing three, the master bedroom has it’s own dressing room and bathroom too. Throughout are structural and decorative exposed beams, open fireplace, little nooks and low ceilings in places. Formerly used as a workshop is a sizeable multi aspect room which could be re-imagined to be that social kitchen/family so many desire.To the side of the Cottage is a substantial (in length) detached garage, store and staircase to low level store/ occasional facility. This offers a further opportunity for personalisation. That home office? Additional accommodation? The workshop or indeed pop a vintage car or two in to store.Whilst the property is an absolute rarity, the location and position add further weight to the rarity of the opportunity that is on offer. Checkendon is situated to the North of both Henley on Thames and Reading within The Chilterns.
