A charming semi-detached CHARACTER cottage offering SUBSTANTIAL rear garden backing onto fields.

DESCRIPTION
2 Church Lane is a Grade II listed, semi-detached house located on a no through lane within the desirable village of East Kennett. The property has a great deal of charm and character with sarsen stone and brick elevations under a thatched roof.
The property offers deceptively spacious accommodation, featuring generous ground-floor reception rooms. Of particular note is the cosy sitting room, which has a warm and inviting feel, centred around an attractive fireplace with wood-burning stove. The dining room provides an excellent space for entertaining family and friends.
To the rear, there is a well-fitted kitchen with a pantry and direct access to the garden. A good-sized ground-floor bathroom adds further practicality.
Upstairs comprises three well-proportioned double bedrooms.
Detailed listed building and planning consents were awarded in November 2024 with amendments in February 2025 for an extension to house the kitchen and work to create a bathroom upstairs.

OUTSIDE
A standout feature of the property is the generous cottage-style gardens to the side and rear. The mature rear garden, extending to over 175 feet in length, provides a superb outdoor space with a real sense of privacy and charm. The garden is predominantly laid to lawn and complemented by a variety of established shrubs and trees.
Planning permission has recently been granted to create two parking spaces to the side of the property, adding further convenience.

SERVICES AND MATERIAL INFORMATION
All mains services are connected and the property operates on oil fired central heating.
