Accommodation
Church Cottage is a pretty natural stone period cottage, believed to date from the 1800s, tucked away along a peaceful lane in the highly sought-after village of North Wootton.

The dining room opens from the sitting room as well as the kitchen. The room is centred around a stone fireplace with a substantial timber bressummer beam, flagstone hearth and wood-burning stove. A window seat takes in the view of the pretty church directly opposite the cottage.
The kitchen/breakfast room flows naturally from the reception rooms and has been thoughtfully extended to create a sociable and practical heart to the house. The breakfast area is light and airy, with limestone flooring and oak French doors with matching glazed side panels opening towards the garden and views beyond. An exposed ceiling beam adds character and makes this an excellent everyday dining and entertaining space.
The kitchen is fitted with a bespoke oak and painted pine cabinetry, attractive Travertine work surfaces and a double Villeroy & Boch Belfast sink. An electric cooker with electric hob sits beneath an extractor canopy with an integrated fridge and good storage.
Beyond the kitchen is a useful utility room with space and plumbing for a washing machine. Limestone flooring continues through to a rear lobby, where a stable door opens to the outside and a cloakroom with WC and wash basin.
