Cherry Cottage is a fine example of character residence set amongst undulating countryside within the highly sought after village of Ickwell and just a short walk from it's famous green. The original cottage is believed to date back to 1750 with latter additions in the late 1990's and early 2000's to create a fantastic country residence ideal for the family with the opportunity for a self-contained annex should someone require. The property has been lovingly updated and improved by the current owners to offer a perfect blend of 'old meets new' with an abundance of character features such as exposed timbers, original flooring and latch doors expertly combined with modern day fittings such as luxuriously appointed bathrooms and underfloor heating to most rooms of the extension part. There is lots of flexibility with this property and the property features three staircases which offers a large family to have their own space and independence if required. The property is approached by an electronic operating gate (which is shared with one other property) that leads to an extensive gravel drive which provides access to the double garage situated at the rear. Entering from the original cottage you are greeted with a lovely formal dining room with original stone block floor and inglenook style fireplace, this leads through to the fitted farmhouse style kitchen featuring an AGA cooker with enough space for a breakfast area.
