Property description
Church Lane Cottage is a charming Grade II listed cottage constructed of local Chilmark stone with a tiled roof. The original part of the cottage is believed to date back to the early 18th century, a more recent addition has been sympathetically built to compliment the original fabric of the home.
In recent decades this quintessential stone cottage has undergone extensive and comprehensive renovation with meticulous care having been paid to retaining and promoting character features in all principal rooms.
The light and flowing accommodation provides a combination of modern family living with traditional design. The thoughtfully arranged ground floor living areas include three reception rooms, the front two rooms boast lovely views across the roof tops of the village and have gorgeous open fireplaces, a hand crafted kitchen, utility room and shower room. On the first floor there are four well proportioned bedrooms, a en-suite bathroom to the master bedroom and a family bathroom.
Church Lane Cottage enjoys a elevated position at the top of the lane leading to the parish church and boasts lovely roof top views across Chilmark village. The front gardens are accessed by stone steps, a path leads to the front entrance. The attractive stone walled gardens are mainly laid to lawn with floral borders. The rear of the property offers further enclosed gardens with lovely church views and offers a great degree of privacy. Immediately to the rear of the property is a stone terrace ideal for entertaining and dining, stone steps then lead up to the remaining formal gardens. The formal gardens have been thoughtfully arranged into several useful areas including a productive kitchen garden, Yew hedged secret garden and open mature lawned areas with a summer house and rear access to Church Lane.
