Description
Church Cottage is an attractive Grade II Listed cottage, dating back to the 18th century.
The cottage is built of Hornton stone, beneath a thatched roof.
Situated in the centre of the conservation hamlet of Overthorpe, this well-appointed home combines the very best of modern living with a property steeped in history.
Recently sympathetically renovated and refurbished the property retains many period features including window seats, exposed beams and feature fireplace.
Key improvements include oak joinery throughout particularly staircase, shelving, windows, flooring and doors. In addition is a lovely, light and well fitted kitchen/breakfast room with a glazed elevation opening onto the garden and capturing the morning light, perfect for breakfast and summer entertaining. A modern cloaks/shower room compliments the modern feel with white fittings.
Upstairs the attention to detail continues into the family bathroom with white suite and built in storage cupboard. The two bedrooms on the first floor are ideal for children or guests, with bedroom three offering scope to alter and create a landing area to separate the family bathroom.
On the second floor is the principal bedroom once two attic rooms with a high vaulted ceiling, since combined to create a light, airy room with ample storage and space for a dressing area or working from home.
Externally to the front is a small area of lawn. To the rear is a delightful, level and enclosed courtyard garden with paved entertaining area. Useful garden store.
This is an exquisite period home, offered in excellent order and with the benefit of excellent local communications and facilities.
