The Street, Grittleton

The Saddler’s and The Cottage presents the superb opportunity to purchase a pair of character cottages together with a generous 0.60 acre plot, located in the very heart of the popular village of Grittleton known for its strong sense of community and excellent village pub. Originally built as four cottages in the early 19th Century as part of the Neeld Estate, the properties are Grade II listed boasting magnificent features such as ornate barge boarded gables, iron lattice windows and exposed timber beams.

The properties require refurbishment and renovation with The Cottage in particular requiring an extensive amount of work having not been occupied since the 1980s. Being sold as a pair, there is fantastic potential to convert the whole into one substantial dwelling (subject to planning) coupled with the very large garden or retain them as separate properties and utilise The Cottage as an annexe.

The Saddler’s, formerly known as Rose Cottage, spans over 2,300 sq.ft. across two floors with the addition of a large, beamed attic which is accessed by stairs and therefore could be converted into further accommodation. The property offers generous ground floor space with three reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room, and office. Upstairs, there are four good-sized bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an occasional fifth bedroom/study.

Adjoining The Saddler’s to the westerly side, The Cottage is its own entity with a separate title deed, entrance and garden. The cottage is in a derelict state needing full restoration comprising two reception rooms, a kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom.

As a whole, the plot extends to around 0.60 acres and has a lovely position backing onto fields. A driveway to the side of The Saddler’s accesses the private parking at the rear in front of a double garage. The gardens are an excellent feature extending some 200ft to the rear and wrapping around the adjoining cottage.
