Property description
A charming period home located in the heart of glorious Wellow, featuring beautiful accommodation and good sized mature gardens. Enjoying plenty of interesting features throughout, the property includes a wonderful open plan living/family room as well as a kitchen/dining room and three/four bedrooms.
DESCRIPTION Box Bush Cottage is a well-presented Grade II listed semi-detached family home. It has elevations of natural stone, white washed at the front, beneath a tiled roof, together with a single storey extension.
The property has a wealth of character and period charm and retains a number of features including exposed beams, timber windows and old wooden doors. The main living room of the property is unusually large and has windows both back and front with a large fireplace with a log burner. There is also a very useful walk-in storage cupboard, ideal for coats and shoes. The kitchen/dining room has a truly country cottage feel, with a range of hand painted base and wall units and space for a dining table. There is access out to the rear garden via a stable door and to a fourth bedroom with an en-suite shower room.
The first floor offers three excellent sized bedrooms, all with pleasant views and a family bathroom.
There is a fabulous loft at the top of the property with far reaching views over the valley. The current vendors have put in a planning application to convert this into a further bedroom with shower room for any potential buyers to make use of if they wish.
OUTSIDE To the rear of the property there is a level cottage garden enjoying a high degree of privacy. There is a paved terrace with a shallow canopy and low random stone walls supporting flower beds, beyond which is a lawn with further flower and shrub beds. Low fencing and a rose trellis lead to a gravelled area at the end of the garden with young fruit trees. There is access via a gate to a side entrance and a timber summer house. Immediately adjacent to the front of the property is a paved forecourt suitable for one car.
