A Must See Property!

Accommodation - From the moment that you cross the threshold into the cottage you get a feeling of warmth and cosiness, entering into the lounge there is immediately a wealth of character, with panelled ceilings, wooden floorboards and a feature fireplace with a wooden mantle and a stone hearth, housing a small wood burning stove allowing you to feel warm on the bleakest of winter days. Also on the ground floor, there is a separate living space with French doors leading out onto a patio, presently used as a snug, the space could equally be used as a formal dining area. There is also a fully fitted kitchen with enough fitted cupboards and work top surfaces to prepare culinary delights for your family and guests, with plenty of room for a dining table and chairs and with direct access onto a garden patio for outdoor entertaining on warm summer evenings.
Climbing the stairs to the first floor, there is a good sized landing with access to both of the double bedrooms as well as the modern stylish fitted shower room.

Outside - The extensive garden is bordered by an attractive stone wall with a wooden gate facing Church Hill and is fully enclosed on all sides. There are various tiered levels with a variety of flagged patios, slate shingle and a large number of mature shrubs and trees. Unusually large, especially for this age of cottage on Church Hill, the garden presently provides a blank canvass for any budding horticulturalist. With fantastic, far reaching views toward Marnhull and beyond this would make a wonderful garden for sitting out on balmy summer evenings with a glass of your favourite tipple and enjoying your surrounds, or a space large enough to grow all of your own vegetables.
Within the garden there is also a large workshop providing plenty of storage for garden and work tools, which would also make a pleasant garden studio, or the shortest commute to your home office.
