Delightful, character cottage situated right in the heart of the village of Combpyne with lovely good sized gardens.
Church Cottage is a delightful character attached cottage which is situated right in the heart of the picturesque village of Combpyne next door to the Church. The property has origins dating back we understand to 300 years and as such has a number of character features. Church cottage has been in the same hands for over thirteen years and since then has been updated and improved by the present vendors and is now well presented throughout. The front door enters into the good sized garden room which is currently used as a dining/family room. Double doors open from here giving access and views over the garden. From here access is gained to the kitchen/breakfast room which is fitted with a comprehensive matching range of cream base and wall units with granite worktops and tiled surrounds. The Neff electric oven is built-in with a Neff ceramic hob and stainless steel cooker hood over. There is under unit lighting and space and plumbing for a dishwasher and space for an upright fridge/freezer. The living room leads off here and is a delightful room with oak floorboards and open stairs rising with a feature fireplace with oak beam and a multi-fuel stove inset.
On the first floor a landing with large airing cupboard leads off to the Master Bedroom which has stripped painted floorboards and a window to the front with views looking over the village to the hillside beyond. There is a built-in wardrobe and separate cupboard and an attractive decorative Victorian fireplace. There is a second double bedroom which has lovely views again over the village and Church towards the countryside in the distance. The shower room is modern and fully tiled with a good sized shower, wc and wash hand basin set over a vanity cupboard. There is an external building which sits to the side of the Garden room which is used as a Utility with worksurfaces and storage along with space and plumbing for a washing machine, tumble dryer and further appliances.
