220 Cook Hill Rd, Wallingford, CT 06492

This property is full of character. It exemplifies colonial New England on both the outside and inside. The barn, house and lot complete a stately ensemble of quintessential Connecticut. Built by the current owner's great grandfather, this home has been in the family for well over a century. The house sits on an expansive plot that used to be home to a chicken hatchery. The home features a large rustic barn. The barn is a storage barn, it is not finished, but it is structurally sound- the perfect place to set up your auto-projects or woodworking endeavors. The barn is set back on the right side of the wrap around driveway, which wraps around the back of the house. As you enter the home, you cannot help but notice all the nooks and crannies that only a house with its age has. Once you are through the mudroom, you enter into a day room which is very well illuminated by the sun alone. The natural light blankets the room and flows into the kitchen. The kitchen could use some improvement, but it is a completely functional space where the current owner has cooked meals for her family for many years. The dining room and main den are absolutely colonial. They come complete with the original windows, whose glass panes are tastefully warped by the striations of old age. The fireplace takes the chill out of the air, and the hot-water radiators bring the house up to a comfortable temperature. Upstairs, the bedrooms are simple and functional.
