Church Street, Martock

THE AGENT SAYS...
The Manor Cottage is a fine example of how to convert a previously non-residential building into a beautiful, quirky home, bursting with charm. This wonderfully cute property makes the best of its diminutive footprint and offers deceptively spacious accommodation, with great use of every characterful nook and cranny.

THE PROPERTY
The main entrance opens into an internal lobby area off the side of the sitting room, with a shelf and coat hooks alongside the door. Ahead are the stairs, a ground floor WC, and a small book case (with space to store shoes underneath) which has been built into part of the original stables. The sitting room itself is a really good size and has delightful details: exposed beams and stonework, a beautiful stone mullion window, and the sides of the original horse stalls retained as a feature in the walls.

The kitchen/dining room has lovely proportions and details including large windows on the east side, allowing the morning light to stream in, and original flagstone flooring. The kitchen is fitted with a range of base and wall units, providing plenty of storage, and there is a generous amount of worktop space. There is a built-in double oven, room for a larder fridge/freezer, and space and plumbing for a washing machine.

On the first floor there are two double bedrooms bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a good size and has the benefit of covered wardrobe space. The second bedroom is a small double room. The shower room is smart and comprises a good-size shower, WC, and vanity unit.

OUTSIDE
The pretty, south-facing garden is fully enclosed and partially walled. Nearest the cottage is a patio dining area with stepping stones leading down through gravel to a summerhouse at the end. There is also an area of lawn alongside the path with a planted border adjoining the drive. There is a tall pedestrian gate providing access to the garden from the front of the property. The stone outbuilding is also at the front, alongside the kitchen. To the rear of the garden is the off road parking area.

SERVICES
Mains water, drainage and electricity. Gas-fired central heating.
