2 Church View is a beautifully presented terraced character cottage offering an enviable village centre setting and a range of flexible and light-filled accommodation arranged over three floors. The home enjoys a range of retained original features such as large sash windows, tall, corniced ceilings, whilst also benefitting from a sensitive scheme of luxury contemporary refurbishments and renovations by the current owners.

The welcoming sitting room with its wide wooden floorboards that run throughout much of the floor, has a cast iron feature fireplace with a decorative surround and alcove display shelving. The space flows through to a hallway with stairs rising to the first floor and giving access to the basement level below. The cellar presents flexible living space that is currently used as a home office, complete with the painted original fireplace which is fitted with shelving. On the ground floor level, the accommodation then opens into the sociable open-plan kitchen and dining space, which has been opened out to create a bright 22 ft. room with multiple aspects. There is ample space for dining with a glazed door opening to the side terrace, whilst the kitchen features a range of in-keeping and attractive wall and base cabinetry, worksurfaces, an island/breakfast bar and several integrated appliances, including a dual oven unit and an inset induction hob with decorative tiling behind. Completing the floor is a useful cloakroom/utility.

The first floor is home to two well-proportioned bedrooms with feature fireplaces. The principal enjoys the use of a well-appointed en suite bathroom with mosaic-tiled flooring, while the second bedroom benefits from a leafy aspect and a modern en suite shower room.

The property enjoys a prime village setting and in a Conservation Area, just across from the historic church and its scenic surrounding churchyard. It has a handsome façade with painted sash windows and decorative brick, with plenty of on-road parking available. There is access via the side and the rear through neighbouring properties and the benefit of a small private brick-laid outdoor terrace with space for a handy storage shed and various potted plants.
