DESCRIPTION 46 Church Road is an attractive Grade II Listed cottage full of charm and period character, enjoying a wealth of original features including exposed beams and feature fireplaces. The property offers well-proportioned accommodation with a flexible layout suited to modern living, whilst retaining the warmth and character expected from a home of this nature.
The cottage benefits from a light and welcoming sitting room with doors opening onto the rear garden, a fitted kitchen overlooking the garden and a further reception room currently utilised as a study but equally suited as a formal dining room. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. Outside, the rear garden is a particular feature of the property, being larger than expected and thoughtfully landscaped into a number of attractive areas ideal for both entertaining and relaxing.
ACCOMMODATION The front door opens into an entrance hallway with stairs rising to the first floor and doors leading to the principal reception rooms. The sitting room is a delightful dual aspect room with natural light coming from both the front and rear elevations. A large fireplace surround housing a gas fire forms an attractive focal point, whilst exposed wooden beams add considerable character. Glazed patio doors open directly onto the rear garden. The kitchen is positioned to the rear of the property and fitted with a range of wall and base units together with integrated appliances. A window overlooks the garden and there is access through to the rear outside space. On the opposite side of the hallway is a further reception room currently arranged as a study, although it could equally serve as a formal dining room or snug depending on individual requirements.
On the first floor are three bedrooms, two of which are comfortable doubles, together with a family bathroom fitted with a bath and shower over. A ladder provides access to a substantial loft space offering excellent additional storage.
OUTSIDE To the rear of the cottage is a lovely enclosed garden which is notably larger than expected for a property of this style. The garden has been attractively landscaped into a number of sections including areas of lawn and patio, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. Mature planted borders stocked with shrubs and established planting provide colour and interest throughout the year, creating a private and peaceful outside space.
