Description - We are delighted to offer for sale this charming period cottage situated in the heart of the popular village of Westleigh. Ivy & Walters Cottage is understood to date back to the 17th century, extended in the 19th century and in more recent years has been lovingly updated by the current owner who has sympathetically combined the characterful features with modern conveniences. The property is virtually detached being attached at one corner to a single storey section of a neighbouring cottage and also a section of garden wall which fronts the lane and due to the cottage's historical and architectural importance Ivy & Walters has been Grade II listed and also sits within a conservation area. The cottage is not unlike the 'Tardis' in that it is much bigger inside then it would appear from outside. The front door leads into an entrance hall with doors leading to a modern wet room, ideal for coming straight in from the beach, a dining room which could be used as a bedroom, office or secondary sitting room, traditional kitchen/breakfast room with stairs leading to the first floor, steps down to a study and doors to the sitting room with a lovely wood burning stove. On the first floor there is a beautiful galleried landing with a door leading to the second bedroom located to the rear, steps lead to an upper landing with doors to a modern bathroom, bedroom three and the main bedroom.
Outside there are walled manageable gardens that wrap around the cottage with paved courtyard to the front and an elevated terrace to the side which enjoys pleasant estuary views. The freehold of the rear lane goes with the property and therefore there is off road parking for about two vehicles on this lane.
