Viewings are highly advised on this wonderful home to appreciate the space, charm and ease of living. Dating back to 1679, this is a home you do not want to miss out on.
This Tardis like cottage is ideal for family living and one of the many reasons why the current homeowners have not moved in 45 years! The home has grown with them, raising children and changing with time, but is now ready for its next owners to enjoy.
Throughout, the accommodation blends historic charm with modern convenience with smart additions such as a sunroom with roof lantern. This garden room is a fusion of old and new, featuring both the natural stonework of the original property and views through b-fold doors to the outside.
The ground floor has five reception rooms in the form of lounge, kitchen/diner, formal dining room, sunroom and additional reception room that again connects to the garden through patio doors. This room provides flexibility of use as either an office, studio or even a ground floor bedroom.
Both lounge and formal dining have fitted stoves, providing a focal point and structure to the rooms. The stove to the formal dining room sits within a wonderful inglenook fireplace providing a daily reminder of the history of the property.
The kitchen/diner offers the country cottage feel with AGA cooker and stone surround, wooden beams and terracotta floor tiles.
On the first floor are four double bedrooms. Each room is unique in layout, but all sizeable rooms with built in storage. The historic touches continue throughout the first floor with its split level flooring and angled walls. The main bedroom benefits from a modern en-suite with a large double shower cubicle. The family bathroom, again of modern style, completes the accommodation.
Externally, the property has plenty of kerb appeal with wisteria creeping across its natural stone facade. There is parking to the front for two cars and additionally under the archway for a small car.
The rear garden is truly remarkable, with St. Giles Church providing an idyllic backdrop. The garden is large, fully enclosed, and a safe space for pets and children. A space mainly laid to lawn with mature shrubs and plants along with vegetable growing patches provide a well structured area. Off the rear of the property and into a courtyard there is access into a single garage with internal workshop.
