House For Sale £300,000
A delightful three bedroom end of terrace stone cottage offering plenty of charm, boasting the most magical secret garden and ideally located just a short walk to the village centre. The cottage lies close to the heart of the well served village of Marnhull, which boasts a thriving community with a variety of sports and social clubs, general store with post office, doctors surgery with pharmacy, two primary schools, convenience shop, public houses and three churches. There is also the village hall and grounds, which hosts many events. This charming cottage dates to the 1750s, when it is believed it was one dwelling with its neighbour and used as the old school house. Over the last eleven years it has been the very much cherished and enjoyed home to our sellers who have maintained and improved it to a high standard. The property has benefitted from re-decoration throughout, a new modern bath has been fitted, new flooring laid to some of the rooms and last year a new hot water cylinder and pump was fitted as well as some landscaping to the garden. A wood burner is due to be installed in June. In addition, the property retains character features, which include a stone fireplace, exposed floorboards, deep window sills, an Aga and picture rails. Catering for modern day expectations, there is gas central heating and uPVC double glazing. This cottage has to be viewed to truly appreciate the ambience of the inside accommodation and the enchanted garden.
