The Property
Loke Cottage is a charming and spacious two bedroom period cottage, tucked away down a quiet lane, within walking distance of the centre of Holt and with parking and a courtyard garden. This Grade II listed cottage forms part of the original workhouse buildings, dating back to 1779.
The cottage is beautifully presented throughout with generous living space downstairs, including a cosy sitting room with wood burning stove, and a well equipped kitchen with room for a dining table. Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The sitting room has stripped wooden floors, windows to the side and front, a woodburning stove to curl up in front of and plenty of room for comfortable sofas and chairs. The kitchen leads off the sitting room and is well proportioned with a pretty tiled floor, shaker style kitchen units with oak worktops, an integrated dishwasher and space for a full height fridge freezer. The gas range cooker is in the original fireplace and there is plenty of room for a dining table and chairs.
The staircase lead off from the kitchen up to two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The family bathroom has a bath with a shower over, a hand wash basin, loo and towel rail with a window overlooking the rear. There is a useful double cupboard on the landing for storage.
