Description

This charming cottage is believed to date from the mid-1700’s and has recently been meticulously refurbished throughout by the current owners. In its previous incarnation it was a farmhouse on what was Church Farm with its association to the neighbouring All Saint’s Church which dates from the 14th century. The owner’s aim was to thoughtfully restore it to being a comfortable and much loved family home whilst retaining and enhancing all period features throughout. Some of the work carried out includes new plumbing, rewiring, overhaul of all roofs and the installation of double-glazed hardwood windows throughout. Further updated features include reclaimed oak and elm doors, shelves and gates, floating elm shelving, reclaimed and restored antique radiators, high quality range of kitchen units with Corian worktops all on beautiful French limestone flooring.

On the ground floor you find a beautiful and comfortable sitting room with dual aspect windows, exposed ceiling beam and feature Inglenook fireplace with log burner. The kitchen diner is the real showpiece of this refurbishment. At 33’ in length it provides a great family dining and entertaining space with vaulted ceiling, rooflights, exposed beams and pendant lighting with limestone flooring throughout. From here you also have access to a utility room area which leads you through to the ground floor bedroom and shower room with WC.

To the first floor you immediately notice the attention to detail with exposed beams, bespoke built-in storage cupboards on the landing with antique radiators lining the wall on the way to the bedrooms. You find three good size double bedrooms, with two again providing exposed ceiling beams and rooflights. The family bathroom is fitted with bath, walk-in shower, washbasin and WC.

Externally the south to west aspect rear garden provides a terraced patio seating area which is accessed via steps and this is-turn leads to the main lawn garden area. Fully stoked beds with shrubs and small trees and in the corner of the garden a further patio area which now accommodates a shepperd’s hut. This is fully insulated and equipped with electricity and a multifuel stove and is available to be included in the sale through separate negotiation. To the front of the property is a hardstanding driveway with parking for two vehicles and access to a large garage with power and light.
