A charming two bedroom cottage with a west facing garden in a popular village location.

Description

Butcher’s Cottage (locally known as The Old Butcher’s Shop) is a charming, unlisted end of terrace two bedroom cottage set within the Conservation Area, right in the heart of the sought-after village of Crondall.

The central entrance hall leads to two reception rooms and a cloakroom. To the left is a front-aspect sitting room with half-height shutters and a wood-burning stove set within an attractive brick hearth. To the right is the open-plan kitchen, fitted with Shaker-style cabinetry, integrated appliances, a Rangemaster oven and a breakfast bar. This flows into the vaulted garden room—constructed in 2015—used as a dining room and snug, with wooden bi-fold doors opening onto the garden.

Stairs from the entrance hall rise to the first floor. Bedroom one features half-height shutters and both bedrooms benefit from fitted wardrobes providing plenty of storage. A family bathroom serves both rooms, and there is access to the fully boarded loft.

The garden is predominantly terraced with well-established, mature planting, offering a sense of privacy and seclusion for such a central village setting. A gravel drive and parking area sit at the rear, accessed via The Withies, providing off-street parking. There are two useful storage sheds, one of which has power.
