DESCRIPTION
Surely the epitome of a classic 'chocolate box' cottage, Lamburn Cottage is an exquisite Grade II listed thatched cottage thought originally to date from the 17th or 18th century.
Beautifully presented throughout following a thorough renovation and extension programme, the property retains a wealth of traditional character features including slate flagstones, beamed ceilings and a former fireplace in the kitchen now appointed with an oil-fired range and complete with a former clome oven. The original section of the house has a cosy intimate ambience whilst the newer section under a slate roof includes the splendid vaulted bedroom with exposed roof timbers.
Outside, the property benefits from twin driveways together with a substantial garage and fabulous mature lawned gardens and grounds extending in total to around 1.2 acres. Within these grounds there is an old timber chalet that whilst in need of improvement offers great potential.

Lamburn Cottage benefits from the ability to access over two separate driveways, the first entering through a five bar gate with a concreted parking area leading to:
GARAGE/WORKSHOP 28'9' x 19'1' (8.76m x 5.82m)
Electric roller door. Separate pedestrian door. Power and light. Concrete floor. Sink and drainer.
The secondary driveway access is drive through and again approached through a five bar gate to a granite chipped driveway with parking for two vehicles and direct access to the front of the property.
The fabulous mature gardens then enclose the property on three sides being principally laid to lawn with features including a raised ornamental pond approached through an arbour covered with wisteria, honeysuckle and clematis.
These wonderful grounds have a number of mature trees including chestnut, willows and many others. Thoughtfully designed, the gardens are sub-divided into different sections including a herb garden with greenhouse whilst in the garden to the side of the cottage there are several fruit trees including a plum, apple and ornamental bay. The wishing well is also situated here.
Also contained within the gardens are an old kennel and polytunnel together with the interesting timber chalet which has previously been used as accommodation although now is in need of extensive renovation or perhaps replacement. Tucked away in a leafy corner of the garden and having its own small garden this clearly offers considerable further potential (subject to any necessary consents).
