4 bed detached house for sale

Cocks Road, Eye IP23

Uplands Cottage is more farmhouse than cottage. Sitting within a plot of just over 2 Acres (2.038Acres/0.825Hectares), surrounded by fields with no immediate neighbours, this is very much the small farmstead. Remarkably not Listed, a quality timber frame is evident inside. Overall, the property requires repair and modernisation.

Uplands Cottage is not Listed but shows internally a timber frame which in other properties would have been worthy of Grade II classification. It would seem the original building was one of considerable wealth judging by the substantial timbers used along with their decoration of chamfers and lambs tongue roll stops. Mullion windows are also in evidence along with remains of their shutter grooves. The original building has clearly been enlarged at different periods creating the house currently seen. The current family have owned the property for over 40 years it being a much loved hub to several generations. Sadly, as is often the case, the property now requires refurbishment, repair and modernisation but offers tremendous scope and comes with a huge area of buildings which extend to approximately 302.5 sq. M or a little over 3,200 square feet! The plot extends away from the house and tapers down to a point, with fields on either side. In all the site extends to approximately 2.038 Acres (0.825 Hectares) with good vehicular access which in itself conjures up all sorts of possibilities.

Internally, the house is arranged with three good size reception rooms forming an L ‘shape along with good square kitchen. Good ancillary space completes the downstairs with the first floor offering four bedrooms and bathroom. An oil fired heating system has radiators throughout. The 16 photovoltaic panels purely generate Kw's for the National Grid. Further details can be provided by the family.
