THE PROPERTY
Church Cottage is an exceptional timber framed Grade II* listed property (listed as Church House), beautifully set at the end of a no-through lane adjoining St Peters Church. Believed to have medieval origins, the property presents colour washed render to the south east and west elevations and a jettied rear elevation with exposed timber framing and brick nogging, under a plain tiled roof and its Grade II* listing is as much for its topographical value as it is for its special architectural and historic interest. The windows to all aspects are leaded lights, are predominantly secondary double glazed and there is fine period detail throughout. The entrance vestibule is a relatively modern addition and opens into the hall, which gives access to the ground floor accommodation. The dual aspect sitting room, which is of particular note, is a heavily timbered room with an impressive inglenook fireplace with bressummer beam, housing a wood burning stove. Leading off is the study, which is also heavily timbered, has a triple aspect, including double doors leading to the side and has fitted bookshelves. The dining room has a rear aspect, a fireplace housing a wood burning stove, features the stairs leading to the first floor and an opening leads into the kitchen, which has a dual aspect and is fitted with a range of base and eye level cupboards, worksurfaces and has a two oven Aga, built-in electric oven, hob, plumbing for appliances and an understairs cupboard. Continuing on the ground floor there is a cloakroom with a front aspect. On the first floor the landing, which has several windows to the rear aspect, leads to three double bedrooms with a master bedroom having a front aspect, original fireplace, wardrobe/cupboard space and an en-suite bathroom. Bedroom two has a dual aspect, built-in cupboard and an en-suite bathroom and bedroom three has a front aspect, former fireplace recess, a wash basin and a built-in wardrobe.
OUTSIDE
The gardens and grounds are a particular feature of Church Cottage with formal gardens predominantly to the south being mainly laid to lawn with many mature trees, shrubs and hedging and a shingle driveway leads to a parking area and double garage with a lean-to workshop/store and a small garden to the rear. Located predominantly to the west and rear of the property are meadows/paddock land with many mature trees, natural pond, a separate field gate and a wooded area on the northern boundary. The meadows/paddocks amount to approximately 3.68 acres (sts) and in all the gardens and grounds extend to about 4.3 acres (sts).
LOCATION
Church Cottage stands in an idyllic setting at the end of a no-through lane adjoining the beautiful St Peters Church in the village of Cockfield, which is served with a village store/post office, public house, primary and pre-school.
