Description
A charming Grade II listed property in a convenient village location
Believed to date form the early 17th century, Hall Cottage is a handsome detached period home that has seen a comprehensive scheme of sympathetic refurbishment whilst retaining a wealth of original features, including exposed timber beams, casement windows and fireplaces.
The property has solid oak front and rear doors, with a door from the main entrance lobby opening into the welcoming sitting room with its fine brick-built Inglenook fireplace and fitted log-burning stove. In-keeping column radiators with antique valves run throughout the house, with attractive terracotta tiled floors flowing from the sitting room into the dining room which has exposed brickwork.
A sliding barn-style door from the dining room gives access to the vaulted kitchen and adjacent utility, with striking slate tiled floors. The kitchen comprises an array of cabinetry with wooden worksurfaces over, together with a Butler sink, inset range cooker and a breakfast bar; from here there are views over, and access to, the garden. The utility is fitted with additional corresponding units, a store cupboard, a Butler sink and stairs to the first floor. A peaceful bedroom and family bathroom with a P-shaped bath complete the ground floor.
The first floor, with its new wooden flooring and plush carpet throughout, houses two further well-proportioned bedrooms with various bespoke fitted wardrobe solutions. The principal bedroom has a sliding door opening to a private cloakroom.
The property also benefits from a newly installed combination boiler, water softener and electrics. Outside
A block-paved drive leads up to the house and the detached garage/workshop with electrical supply. A low red-brick front wall and gate, stocked borders and a natural stone pathway flow up to the main entrance. Alongside is a section of level lawn and a useful shed, with various colourful borders adorning the home’s characterful façade. The lawn wraps around to the generous rear south-westerly facing garden, enclosed via white picket fencing and surrounded by mature trees and established herbaceous borders. A block-paved rear terrace and circular seating area provide ideal spots for al fresco dining.
