Charming period home in the heart of Thames Ditton.

Description

Church Cottage is a delightful and quaint Grade II Listed detached family home bursting with an abundance of charm and character and boasting a wealth of period features. Built in the mid 18th century with later additions and awarded a conservation award in 1996, this stunning home provides spacious and versatile accommodation throughout.
Via an impressive front door you are welcomed into the entrance hall. To the right is the sitting room which makes a perfect study with its original fireplace providing a wonderful focal point and built-in cupboards and shelving to either side. A step down leads to the truly elegant drawing room. This generous space is perfect for formal entertaining and enjoys an original working fireplace and two large windows overlooking the attractive front walled garden.
Across the entrance hall is a well-proportioned dining room, which benefits from built-in cupboards. From here steps lead down to a large office which would work equally as well as a play/games room if required.
To the rear of the property is the delightful kitchen, featuring wooden base units, a double oven with gas hob and a butler sink as well as a walk-in pantry. The kitchen leads through to the breakfast room; a cosy space with a log burner and built-in shelving either side. There is plenty of space for a table and chairs and an informal sitting area. From here you can access the utility room which benefits from an external door to the garden. Completing the accommodation on this floor is a guest WC, whilst the property also benefits from a vast cellar, ideal for storage and a separate wine cellar.
On the first floor there are four bedrooms. The good-sized principal bedroom benefits from built-in storage. The remaining three bedrooms also benefit from built-in storage, with bedroom three further enjoying a spacious en suite bathroom with twin basins and separate bath and shower. A family bathroom with free standing bath sits adjacent to bedroom four.
Externally the simply beautiful west facing garden is utterly charming and provides a wonderfully scenic setting with well stocked borders of mature shrubs and plants. A patio area provides the perfect spot for al fresco dining and relaxing looking over the attractive pond. At the far end of the garden is a garage with two original arched windows facing out to the garden. The garden continues round the side along to the front of the property, with a beautiful walled garden perfectly framing the entrance to this unique and historic property.
