BARKWAY COTTAGE enjoys an attractive location at the southern edge of the village of Barkway. The origins of the property are believed to date back to the late 16th/early 17th century, but there have been extensions and alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries which include the construction of four projecting bay windows (there is a more thorough note of the building in the Listed building records, as the building is Grade II Listed). The construction of the property is traditional with a timber frame, probably local Elm, with rendered and boarded elevations set under a thatched roof.
The accommodation is set over two floors and comprises a drawing room with exposed timbers and a central brick fireplace and a stairs to the first floor. A door leads through to a morning room, a bright room with a pair of glazed doors to the garden and a bay window. The sitting room, again is timbered, with an inglenook fireplace and a modern wood burning stove and a bread oven. This room has a pretty period door with a small leaded light panel. The dining room has French doors out to the terrace and leads to a well equipped farmhouse style kitchen with an excellent period dresser, a professional cooker, Lacanche gas and electric oven and a 5-ring gas hob, water softener and a double ceramic sink, integrated dishwasher and a recessed upright fridge and some Iroko (hardwood) work surfaces. There is a lobby which has space for a freezer and tumble-dryer.
On the first floor there is a total of 5 bedrooms; the main bedroom is in the middle of the house and adjoins a bathroom - (there are two bathrooms in total).
OUTSIDE, there is a generous parking area with an "in-and-out" driveway and a garage which has a ground floor cloakroom and a first floor area which would make an excellent studio/office or potential annexe. In this room there is a modern wood burning stove.
There is a terrace both beside and behind the house and well stocked herbaceous borders. The remainder of the grounds are laid to lawn with a vegetable patch and a thatched summerhouse. In the far corner of the garden is a timber shed and compost area.
