An exciting opportunity to acquire this distinctive 3 bedroom detached character cottage, occupying a wonderfully secluded position within mature and established gardens, approached via a wooded lane. Church Cottage offers approximately 1,186 sq ft of versatile accommodation, brimming with individuality and charm, with exposed beams, timber-panelled interiors and attractive garden views from many of the principal rooms.

Upon entering the property, the entrance hall opens into the spacious kitchen/dining room, which forms the heart of the home. This characterful room is fitted with a range of wall and base-mounted units, ample work surface space and room for a dining table and chairs. A wood-burning stove provides an attractive focal point, complementing the cottage-style setting. Adjoining the kitchen is a useful study, offering an ideal space for those working from home, as a reading room or for a variety of other uses.

Stairs rise from the kitchen/dining room to a central landing/snug area, creating a versatile additional reception space. From here, doors lead to the generous sized Bedrooms 2 and 3, both offering pleasant garden outlooks, together with the main living room. The living room is a particularly appealing space, featuring exposed roof timbers, a fireplace and a bright outlook across the surrounding gardens. A further inner hallway leads from the living room and provides access to the principal bedroom and the family bathroom. Bedroom 1 is a generous double room, while the bathroom is fitted with a white suite incorporating a panel-enclosed bath with shower over, pedestal wash hand basin and WC.

Externally, the property is approached via a lane, which passes through a wooded entrance and continues down to a parking area positioned in front of the house, providing off-road parking. From here, access continues around the property and into the gardens, which offer a wonderfully private and established setting enclosed by mature trees, hedging and natural planting. A separate utility/store room provides further useful storage, appliance space and access to the outside.

The gardens are arranged over gently sloping grounds, with lawned areas adjoining the property and providing space for outdoor seating, entertaining and family use. There are a variety of established shrubs, plants and planted borders, together with productive garden areas including raised beds, greenhouse space and useful growing areas. Steps lead up through the garden to an orchard area, where the grounds become more natural and peaceful, with a cabin/summerhouse positioned amongst the trees, offering excellent potential as a garden retreat, hobby space or additional storage. The plot also benefits from a range of sheds and outbuildings, providing useful storage and workshop space.

Church Cottage represents a rare opportunity to acquire a highly individual home with generous gardens, orchard space, multiple outbuildings and a wonderfully tucked-away woodland setting. EPC F. Council Tax Band B.
