3 bedroom cottage

Barn Cottage is a hidden local gem reputed to be one of the oldest structures in Carshalton and a slice of the Villages history! A charming Grade II listed, clapperboard-fronted cottage, the building was originally an open sided barn dating from around 1720, which has subsequently been sympathetically converted and substantially extended to the rear to provide well-proportioned accommodation spread over two floors. The property does, in truth, require a programme of updating and modernisation but affords two large reception rooms, a good size kitchen, a cloakroom and a vaulted hallway on the ground floor, with three generous bedrooms and a recently fitted four-piece bathroom suite upstairs. Outside there is extensive parking to the front - you could easily accommodate caravan or speedboat and still have parking for 3 - 4 cars - a large integral garage/workshop and a large (if somewhat overgrown) rear garden. Located right in the heart of the Village, backing onto the Ecology Centre and facing the Water Tower in St Philomenas grounds, the station is about five minutes-walk away, whilst the Grove (reputedly the finest example of a Victorian urban park in London), the Ponds, All Saints Church and the Village centre are all immediately on hand. In addition, the property would offer easy access to numerous excellent primary & secondary schools including St Marys, All Saints, St Philomenas and The Harris Academy, whilst there are five Grammar Schools & several exceptional Independent Schools within a three mile radius. Viewing is highly recommended - so call today to book your appointment.
