3 bedroom detached house for sale

A charming detached 3 bedroom cottage which has been updated considerably by the current owners with an enclosed south facing garden in this popular Ebble Valley village.

Crossways Cottage is believed to date back to the 17th Century and is a detached cottage with predominantly cob and rendered elevations beneath a pitched thatched roof. The accommodation is presented in excellent decorative order throughout and is full of the charms of a thatched cottage including inglenook fireplaces, exposed wooden beams and two staircases to the first floor. The property faces north to the front and south to the rear and therefore there is good solar gain from the south facing elevation and this creates a light and welcoming ambience. On the ground floor the kitchen has fitted units and integrated appliances together with a range cooker and ceramic sink and monobloc tap. There are steps leading down to a dining area with separate cloakroom and storage cupboards. The dining room has an inglenook fireplace and has two staircases leading to the first floor.

All of the ground floor rooms have a double aspect. On the first floor there are 3 bedrooms with the master bedroom having exposed vaulted ceiling showing some original timbers. The bathroom has been refurbished by the current owners with a superb roll top bath, shower unit, low level WC and wash hand basin. Bedroom 2 is of a generous size and has a window overlooking the south facing garden to the rear, The third bedroom can be accessed from the second staircase and again has a radiator. This bedroom also has its own adjoining bathroom with a shower over, low level WC and a wash hand basin. All the bedrooms and bathrooms on the first floor are presented extremely well and have been updated in a considerate fashion to the age of the property.

The property is situated in the Ebble valley village of Homington, which is understandably popular.
