Marbury, Whitchurch

BRIEF DESCRIPTION 4 Black & White Cottage is a charming Grade II Listed Two Bedroom period property with an abundance of character, situated in the sought after village of Marbury. The current owners have lovingly restored the cottage over recent years to include full restoration of the timbers. The attention to detail can be seen throughout the property including tumbled travertine floor tiles to the ground floor with underfloor heating, and a beautifully fitted kitchen with an electric AGA. The inviting lounge benefits from Clearview Pioneer 400 multi fuel burner.
The cottage style, partially walled gardens are just delightful and provide a lovely space to sit and enjoy the beautiful view of the historic St Michaels Church, as well as having a cobbled off road parking area. There is also a useful outbuilding which is currently used as a utility room.
This stunning cottage truly has everything you would hope for in this style of property, but should a future owner want to extend the cottage, full planning permission has been granted to add a garden room and additional accommodation in the loft space.
