No onward chain - A well-proportioned Victorian terrace house providing some 1,170 sq.ft of accommodation, together with a private rear garden with outbuildings
Description
Chiefly built of soft red brick, 28 The Street is an attractive mid-terrace cottage which probably dates from the mid-to-late 19th century. Occupying a quaint village setting in the centre of Brettenham, the property forms part of the picturesque street scene which is a conservation area.
Internally, the house has been modernised throughout, which includes rewiring and plumbing, as well as a recent fitted kitchen with worksurfaces on three walls, concealed appliances and numerous base and eye level units. The kitchen opens into the rear garden / dining room, with glazed double doors leading onto a patio. Access via the inner hall, a ground floor bathroom serves the adjacent bedroom, as well as bedrooms two and three on the first floor. The remaining ground floor consists of the front sitting room with an open fire.
The first floor provides three double bedrooms, where bedrooms one (with ensuite shower room) and bedroom two overlook the rear garden. Bedroom three to the front overlooks neighbouring gardens with arable farmland beyond.
Outside, the rear garden consists of a patio which abuts a former brick and tile privy with adjacent store. Beyond is a large expanse of lawn, with modern solar panels situated to the far boundary. The remaining boundaries are clearly defined by timber fencing.
Although the property does not provide on-site parking, spaces are readily available on the opposite side of the road via a communal track which is adjacent to the Village Hall and Recreation Ground. This is an informal arrangement, which is kindly granted by the village hall.

All neighbouring properties do not have a right of way over no. 28.
A private sewage treatment plant is shared with no. 27 (only) and thus all associated costs are divided equally.
