Chilmark

DESCRIPTION
A quintessential grade II listed four bedroom detached cottage believed to date back to the 1600s, full of character and charm located within a plot of approximately 0.2 of an acre.

The immaculately presented accommodation which has been significantly enhanced by the current owners, includes an entrance porch, a very spacious triple aspect sitting room with two inglenook fire places, one of which is used by the current owner, a kitchen breakfast room, which leads into the garden room, downstairs WC, four double bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Externally there is a detached single garage, with power, light and plumbing for utilities, off-road parking and a beautiful south westerly facing garden which has been landscaped by the current owners and is full of colourful planting.

OUTSIDE
The property is accessed from Beckett’s Lane, where you enter onto a gravelled driveway providing off road parking for a couple of vehicles, which in turn leads to the detached single garage which has power and light, and provides plumbing for a utility room. From the driveway you can conveniently access the front door.

The beautifully maintained south westerly rear garden has been transformed by the current owners, and can be accessed via the double doors in the garden room where you step out onto a paved area, perfect for outdoor entertaining and alfresco dining. Steps then lead up to the well cared rear garden that has been thoughtfully landscaped and provides an array of different colourful planting to be enjoyed throughout the seasons. The currently owners have tried to create a very attractive garden whilst keeping maintenance as low as possible.

The private gardens are enclosed to all sides by mature hedging and the plot in total expands to approximately 0.2 of an acre.
