Full Description

Number 1 Church Lane or Cobbler’s Cottage - as it's been named by its current owners – was originally built as three cottages in around 1635. This beautiful period property has been sympathetically updated to provide a spacious feel throughout but it still retains a wealth of original features, including inglenook fireplaces, exposed stonework and exposed beams, window seats and architectural reference points to remind you of it’s history.  When you walk into Cobbler’s Cottage you’re met by a spacious dining room from which you can reach all of the ground floor. This focal room boasts an impressive fireplace with wood burning stove and a fabulous hidden drinks cabinet built into the wall! Leading off one side of the dining room sits a cosy living room with open fireplace and original window seat with the breakfast kitchen being perfectly positioned on the opposite side of the dining room. The refitted kitchen is exactly what you would expect from this charming cottage, cream 'Shaker' style units with solid oak work surfaces, a rayburn cooker and integrated appliances all with views onto the garden giving this space a true 'heart of the home' feel. Following on from the kitchen is the rear entrance lobby with doors leading to the front and rear of the property, where you'll also find a great sized study, utility room and ground floor cloakroom/w.c.

To the first floor, positioned off the landing area there are two well proportioned double bedrooms and a large single bedroom, a second landing doubles up perfectly as a quiet reading room overlooking the garden and leading on from here is a third double bedroom and fantastic refitted family bathroom with whirlpool bath, a separate shower enclosure and large airing cupboard. With the quirky nature of this characterful home of course there had to be a 'secret' staircase taking you back downstairs!

Outside is every bit as charming, not overlooked and nicely proportioned, the secluded south-facing mature rear garden is bordered on two sides by high red brick walls, a paved patio area with plenty of room for table and chairs. Two semi-circular steps lead up onto the raised lawn, while a path takes you alongside the house to a paved seating area tucked away beneath a small evergreen tree. There are shrub and floral borders close to the house and a more bordering the boundary walls. A path takes you to the garden store with sloping slate roof and a small courtyard where the oil storage tank is located. A secure gate leads out to the off-road parking area where there is room for one vehicle. 

You really have to step inside to fully appreciate this period property.
