Description: - An inspiring and beautifully presented semi-detached four bedroom period home that historically formed two cottages. This skilful conversion has created fabulous accommodation that has been lavishly modernised, all without compromising the abundant charm, as displayed in the inglenook fireplace with an original bread oven, beamed ceilings, and the original oak frame believed to date from the 15th century. 1 & 2 Ebenezer Cottages have been the subject of considerable refurbishment by the preceding and present owners.

The accommodation comprises Front door into the Entrance Hall with a limestone-tiled floor; dual-aspect Family Room with views over both the front and rear gardens, a fireplace with an inset cast iron wood burner, hand-built solid wood shelving units and cupboards, French Doors to outside, engineered oak wood floorboards; dual aspect Kitchen/Dining Room with bespoke handmade wall and base units, integrated oven with an induction hob over, integrated dishwasher, space for an American fridge/freezer, French Doors to outside, engineered oak wood floorboards; the dividing wall has been removed, creating an open-plan, dual-aspect Sitting Room featuring an inglenook fireplace with a bespoke canopy and original bread oven. The original front door of 2 Ebenezer Cottages has been replaced with a double-glazed window to further enhance the light and spacious feel of the cottage.

A Staircase from the Entrance Hall gives access to the First Floor double Bedrooms 2 and 3 and the Family Bathroom with a panel bath with a shower over, a vanity handwash basin, a low-level WC, tiled floors, and half-tiled walls. To the other side of the property, a staircase from the Sitting Room gives access to a large First Floor Landing that has formerly been used as a Study; Principal Bedroom with a freestanding roll-top Bath, ample storage cupboards, and a passageway cleverly created through the wardrobe of the Principal Bedroom to that of Bedroom 2, connecting the accommodation on the First Floor. A staircase from the Landing leads to Bedroom 4.

The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
