Old Inn Cottage is a charming grade II listed property, situated within Ifield Green on the sought after Langley Lane. This 17th century detached cottage occupies a generous plot totalling approximately ¾ of an acre (TBV), is steeped in character and history, and is offered with no onward chain.

A five bar wooden gate grants access to the grounds, where you are met with a large gravelled driveway allowing parking for numerous vehicles with an area of lawn and perimeter hedging providing plenty of privacy.

Upon entry you are welcomed into the largest of the reception rooms with an original fireplace taking centre stage and a second fireplace, believed to have been added during the Victorian period. The room has plenty of space for furniture and is finished with solid oak flooring and exposed beams.

Through to the rear is a dual aspect oak kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with a range of low level units, integrated appliances including an Aga with a rear door leading to the garden.

Running adjacent to the kitchen is a dining room with a staircase leading to the first floor, views across the rear garden and original tiled flooring laid beneath further solid oak flooring.

From here, you can access what is essentially a contained annex area, a later addition to the house. This area consists of a bedroom/additional reception room, fitted kitchen with utility cupboard, access to the rear garden and a second staircase leading to a mezzanine area. In addition, there is a useful downstairs cloakroom to complete the downstairs accommodation.

Heading upstairs, there are two generous double bedrooms, one of them with two built-in wardrobes.

Finally, there is a beautiful bathroom consisting of a stand alone roll-top bathtub, WC, pedestal wash hand basin and views of the rear garden. The bathroom also offers a unique feature with an internal door leading to a mezzanine area, which is situated above the self-contained area.

The rear garden is predominantly laid to lawn with a generous patio abutting the foot of the house with access down both sides of the cottage. To the rear of the garden is a workshop and former ‘piggery’, which could be transformed into a studio or work from home station, if required. A ground level pond and cabin further enhances this stunning, peaceful and secluded garden.

Furthermore, the property benefits from mains gas, having been installed by the current owner.
