This historic plot was once home to the church hall but, after being re-built and completed in 2015, the light-filled Old Church Hall Cottage now offers spacious and light-filled family living, 4 en-suite bedrooms and a private garden perfect for hosting and soaking up the sun. The home is the perfect blend of contemporary and traditional with reclaimed stonework used on the outside of the home and bespoke English Oak doors and lintels on the inside.

Pull off the peaceful country road, that winds through the village of Bolton, onto the private driveway, to find ample space for two cars in front of the attached garage. There is also ample off-street parking for visiting guests in front of the low drystone wall.

Take the steps, from the driveway, conveniently up to the front garden. Note the seating area to the front of the home, where you can enjoy the peaceful outlook to the road.
Enter the home through a welcoming porchway with a convenient spot to doff and don shoes.
A large central hallway provides an excellent open layout and, combined with the slate flagstone flooring, flows effortlessly into the rooms of the ground floor, the first of which is a downstairs WC, where guests can refresh and revive.

Take the door opposite into the spacious dining room that naturally links, through an opening, to the kitchen, creating a fabulous entertaining space as well as a practical hub for families. The skylights from the high peaked ceilings flood the room with light making it a beautifully bright and airy room at all times.
Busy day-to-day living can be enjoyed easily with quick breakfasts at the integral island whilst picnics and packed lunches are prepared on the worktops, of which there is ample space. Upper and lower cabinetry provide plenty of spots for pots, pans, tins and dishes as well as hiding away the essential appliances of fridge, freezer and dishwasher. Spot the large range waiting for you to cook up a storm, and the wine fridge with plenty of space for bottles, ready for the next gathering.

A stable door gives easy access to the back garden, perfect for the next barbeque when you are taking the salads outside.
Retrace your steps to the hall, and pop your head into the adjacent room, to discover a lovely double bedroom with contemporary en-suite shower room.

Storage is in abundance at old Church Hall Cottage in the form of an understairs cupboards, ideal for hanging coats and putting outdoor gear. A similar cupboard can be found upstairs as well as access into the full height loft - place suitcases and Christmas decs out of sight until needed.

Step across the hallway and into the living room. A room that promises cosy nights and homely family Christmases next to the open fire with stunning handcrafted oak mantel, but with the dual aspect windows to the front and double doors of the orangery, to the rear. It is always light and fresh - a room for all seasons.
Open the glazed doors and extend the floorplan into the orangery. Perhaps this could become the children's haven, toys and games kept in one place. A double bedroom with en-suite shower room lies next door so could these two rooms become an annexe for a dependant relative or teenagers dream with sleeping quarters and separate sitting area?

Retrace your steps and ascend the plush carpeted stairs to the large landing.
To the left is an excellent sized double bedroom with walk-in wardrobe ideal for all manner of clothing and shoes. This calming and tranquil pink room also boasts an en-suite shower room comprising WC, wash hand basin, heated towel rail and large corner shower; a Velux window lets the light flood in.

Move into the master suite of dreams! Skylights capture the passing sun, bringing it into the beautiful bedroom creating a haven to escape to. A luxurious en-suite leads from the capacious walk-in wardrobe. While away the hours soaking in the freestanding tub, or wash away the day in the large shower.

Gardens and Grounds
The garden wraps the home in tranquillity and, much like the house, is the perfect combination of design and function. With traditional and reclaimed stonework used to create the rustic walls that keep this relatively new build firmly in keeping in its surroundings.

Spend quiet evenings lapping up the sun on the patio in the quiet country cottage style front garden, beside the mature shrubs, perennials and potted plants. This pretty, and low maintenance, space feels serene with stepping stones leading to a pergola ideal for summer cocktails all enhanced by the surrounding tranquil setting. A door past the seating area leads to the back garden, creating a seamless flow between the two spaces.
The patio extends around the side of the home to the rear garden. Completely private, bordered by mature trees and fencing, this is the ideal spot for hosting and dining alfresco with friends and family. Doors to both the kitchen and sunroom allow for a cohesive living space between indoors and out, ideal for a family where children and pets can come and go, in safety.

Discover a shed with a difference. Insulated and fitted with electricity and plumbing, this sweet looking outbuilding has been turned into a handy utility room with storage for the detergents, pegs and much more next to the washer and dryer. Fill the additional fridge ready for the next party! If you don't need to use this as a utility, this could make a great office for those working from home.

The large attached garage permits storage of equipment alongside bikes or hobbies as well as the possibility for a workshop is unparallel for family life.
