WITHIN just three days of marketing, offers were coming in to estate agents Redwoods from househunters hoping to get lucky and be the new owners of a property at Horseshoe Cottages.
The beamed and listed cottage dates back to around 1639 and stands at the end of a terrace in the sought-after village of Greywell. It is on the market priced at £295,000.
The entrance lobby of the cottage has stripped wood floorboards and a door into a beamed sitting room where an inglenook fireplace, with a former bread oven, is set into an exposed brick wall and chimney breast.
A white butler's sink is set into the oak units in the kitchen-breakfast room and a feature brick fireplace houses the green Rayburn cooker.
A decorative gate divides the kitchen-breakfast room from an orangery-style conservatory which overlooks the 100ft-deep back garden where a gazebo makes a suitable office for a home-based worker and there is a workshop and storage shed.
Upstairs, the master bedroom has a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and the second bedroom features a cast-iron fireplace.
The bedrooms share a shower room which has a corner wash basin.
Redwoods describe the cottage as "delightful".
