Directions - Leave Ellesmere via the B5068 in the direction of St.Martins, passing through the hamlet of Elson and the village of Dudleston Heath until, after around 2.5 miles, a left hand turn leads onto Church Lane where, after300 yds, the property will be situated on the right, opposite St.Matthews Church.
The Property - The property provides principal access via a covered porch which opens into an impressive Entrance Hall with full-height ceilings, stairs rising to the first floor with storage cupboard beneath, and from where double opening doors lead into a versatile Family/Dining Room, with bi-fold doors offering access directly onto the gardens. Turning Right from the Entrance Hall, one enters a beautifully modernised Kitchen with fitted units so chosen to evoke the timeless heritage of the property, and with a centrally positioned kitchen island situated before further bi-fold doors allowing the room scope for use as a secondary dining or breakfast space, with, positioned alongside the kitchen, a useful Utility Room complete with Oak cabinets and Belfast sink.
From the Family/Dining Room, a further door leads into spacious Living Room which extends to almost 7m and runs the full depth of the property, with an open fire set within a partially exposed brick inglenook and a range of exposed ceiling timbers, alongside a door which allows access into a fully-modernised Garden Room boasting underfloor heating and triple-aspect full-height glazing which offer views across the glorious gardens, and further bi-fold doors exiting onto the patio area beyond. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a Cloakroom located close to the front door.
Stairs rise from the Entrance Hall to a galleried landing with recessed airing cupboard, from where doors provide access into four well-proportioned Bedrooms, all capable of accommodating double beds and enjoying elevated views across the gardens and the noted countryside beyond, with Bedrooms Two and Three benefitting from integrated wardrobe/storage space, and the Master boasting an adjoining En-Suite which contains white suite; the remainder of the Bedrooms are served by a Family Bathroom.
Outside - Church Cottage lies within particularly notable gardens which extend, in all, to around 0.95ac. Accessed off a quiet country lane onto a generous gravelled parking area situated to the front of the property and providing ample space for multiple vehicles whilst positioned before the double Garage (approx. 6.3m x 5.5m) which boasts an electrically operated roller shutter door to the front and pedestrian access to the side.
Situated to the rear of the property and enjoying a desirable southerly aspect over open fields are family friendly gardens comprising an attractive paved patio area, this leading on to an expanse of lawn interspersed by mature trees, most notably a mature weeping willow.
The northern aspect of the gardens are given over to further areas of lawn which are retained within established high-level hedging and encompass a timber Summer House positioned alongside brick-built barbecues, this offering a wonderfully private spot for outdoor dining and entertaining.
Such are the proportions of the northern lawns that they offer excellent potential for equestrian or grazing use.
