Description

Bow Cottage is an impressive Grade II listed period family home, on the edge of the River Chess. The elegant accommodation has been sympathetically updated whilst retaining many of the original features with the accommodation arranged over three floors.

Upon entering the cottage you are greeted by a welcoming hallway giving access to the ground floor accommodation, briefly comprising; cloakroom, country style kitchen with woodblock work surfaces and partly integrated appliances. Breakfast area with space for a dining table and chairs. The sitting/dining room is a particular feature of the cottage being of double aspect with doors to the rear garden and brimming with character including traditional wooden floor, original beams and a beautiful French wood burning stove.

The first floor offers a landing area gives access to two bedrooms including the principal bedroom with ample fitted wardrobes, the family bathroom and utility room which could be converted into a home office.

The second floor is believed to have been converted in the early 1900’s and offers a generous area of many uses, the current family used this as a large study. There is also a third bedroom on the second floor.

Outside, the pretty cottage style garden has been landscaped, with a patio area accessed directly from the sitting room with steps up to an area laid to shingle and a further hand standing area with a wooden shed with power and light, which could be converted into a home office. The garden has been well tended and is thoughtfully planted with mature plants, shrubs and trees.

To the front of the property is a gated area laid to herringbone brick providing off street parking with a timber gate to the rear garden.
