1 Coombe Cottages is a substantial, period, semi-detached, double-fronted, natural stone cottage situated in an exquisite conservation area village setting on a quiet village lane within a short walk to the village pub, primary school and Parish Church. The property stands in a generous, level plot and lovely gardens extending to just under a quarter of an acre (0.20 acres approximately). The rear garden is a particularly lovely selling feature, laid to lawn with island beds and an easterly aspect. There is a natural stone outbuilding currently used as an office / music room with en-suite shower room / WC – ideal for those who work from home. There is a private driveway providing off road parking for two to three cars at the side. The house is enviably free from the restrictions of Grade II listing and therefore offers tremendous scope for extension at the side and rear, with potential for loft conversion and the addition of a garage of carport, subject to the necessary planning permission. The cottage is heated via radiators powered by a solid fuel-fired Rayburn cooker which also provides the hot water, with an electric immersion heater as a back-up. It also enjoys a cast iron log burning stove.

About this agent
SUCCESSFULLY SELLING AND LETTING PROPERTY IN WEST LONDON SINCE 1983 Welcome to our webpage; we'll get as close as we possibly can to extending the same type of warm welcome you'd receive if you popped into our offices in Acton, Ealing, Greenford, Isleworth, or Northfields.

We still pride ourselves on being a local, independent agency with client service, communication and integrity as our core values. Whatever your property interests - residential or commercial, sales or lettings, property management or new homes, you'll find something of interest here.
