DESCRIPTION Burston View is located on a quiet lane leading out of the village and started out life as the village Blacksmith's shop, workshop and cottage. The current owners have created a must see property which whilst keeping the character of the old cottage have transformed the whole property into a fantastic and interesting family home. There are a wealth of period features with large open fireplaces and original timber panelling to walls and staircases in the old part of the property. The thick cob walls under the thatched roof give a cottage feel to the old property both on the ground floor and to bedrooms 2 and 3. The remainder of the property is large, open and contemporary but it works well alongside the old. The family / day room is flooded with light through the Velux windows and with further windows to 3 sides, it will be a popular room having double doors opening to a secluded patio and access to the gardens through garden room. A fitted and modern kitchen / breakfast room is well situated with views over the garden and landscape to the rear. A large first floor master bedroom also enjoys the country views and outlook over the garden too. There is a characterful snug / living room providing a cosy retreat for those dark winter evenings.

The spacious garden has areas of lawn, patio and productive vegetable plots. Being on the village edge there are fantastic views to be enjoyed and the gardens are secluded and secure.

A lower ground floor workshop / store and parking are found underneath the family room and can be accessed from Water Lane or via hatch in the floor. This workshop could offer further opportunity to create more living accommodation should it be required (subject to necessary planning permissions). The property, with its features of wood panelling, fireplaces and Rayburn also has the benefit of modern conveniences such as an oil fired boiler providing under floor heating to much of the ground floor and providing domestic hot water and heating for the radiators to the first floor.
