onward chain this Grade II listed thatched four bedroom detached cottage, with
separate annex potential, occupying a rural position within the village of
Croxton within well maintained private gardens extending to approximately 0. 46
acres.
Rose Cottage originally dating from the 17th century is essentially made up of
two parts conjoined, with the front being constructed of traditional timber
frame and rough cast rendered elevations under a half hipped thatched roof.
The rear part of the property was added in the late 1980's increasing the
internal living space considerably. The current owners purchased the cottage
over a decade ago and have made extensive improvements but retained period and
original features which blend with the modern day amenities. Features include
exposed beams and timbers with a carving within an oak ceiling beam indicating
that the cottage was built around 1697, a dual - fireplace in the main reception
rooms and bespoke wooden stable - doors. The 1, 738 sq. Ft. Of accommodation in
brief consists of an Entrance Hall, Lounge, Dining Room, a Snug and a spacious
modern Kitchen/Breakfast Room leading onto a Utility Room and downstairs Bath
and Shower Room. Three double Bedrooms and a further Shower Room can be found
on the First Floor levels accessed separately by two different staircases.
Passing the 5 - bar gate, the gravel driveway provides ample parking and access
to the detached double - width Garage which has been converted to house a Games
Room with Kitchenette, and a Shower Room to the Ground Floor. A staircase
leads to a 16ft in length Study/Office. There is also a detached timber Summer
House overlooking the natural Pond and Garden, a Workshop, Kennels and a
Greenhouse too.

of the home are both dual aspect with features including exposed beams and
timbers, a fireplace is shared between the rooms with raised hearths and
internal feature windowsills. The original front door is off the Dining Room.
