This very attractive Edwardian terraced cottage has been well updated and improved whilst retaining its original charm and character. The open-plan reception area with oak flooring provides sitting and dining rooms and the modern kitchen and stylishly fitted bathroom complete the ground floor.
There are two bedrooms on the first floor, with a third on the second floor.
Constructed of solid brick under a tiled roof, the house retains fireplaces in the sitting room and both first floor bedrooms. It benefits from uPVC double-glazed windows and gas fired central heating and enjoys a pleasant outlook over Upper Green, an area of open grass dotted with fine mature trees.

A private pedestrian right-of-way crossing Nos 1, 2, 3 & 4 leads to the rear garden, which is some 73' (22.39m) in length and laid to lawn with a paved patio at either end. Coated metal garden shed.
THE LOCATION

The village is attractively set around a series of greens and commons, of which Upper Green is but one, and the cottage is within the Ickleford Conservation Area. The village stores, primary school, parish church, pub and village hall are all close at hand.
