The surrounding area is renowned for its scenic walks, coastal landscapes and relaxed pace of life, while still offering good connections to larger towns and transport links, making Henham an ideal location for those seeking a peaceful village lifestyle within easy reach of the coast and wider facilities.
Occupying a peaceful rural setting in the sought-after village of Henham, The Green is a charming semi-detached cottage that was once part of the historic Henham Estate. Full of character and enjoying delightful countryside surroundings, the property offers comfortable accommodation arranged over two floors and presents an excellent opportunity for those seeking a home in a tranquil village location. The ground floor is centred around a welcoming living room, featuring an attractive open fireplace with decorative tiled surrounds, exposed ceiling beams and a beautiful stained glass internal window, all of which enhance the cottage's charm. The sitting room flows naturally into a spacious kitchen/breakfast room, which enjoys lovely views over the rear garden and benefits from a Belfast sink, built-in gas hob and a useful walk-in larder. A rear hall and porch provide direct access to the garden, while a family bathroom completes the ground floor accommodation. Upstairs, the property offers three well-proportioned bedrooms, all enjoying pleasant outlooks over the gardens or surrounding countryside. The principal bedroom features an attractive fireplace, wooden flooring and built-in storage, while a further bedroom is currently arranged as an additional sitting room, demonstrating the flexibility of the accommodation.
