DESCRIPTION
The Old Church is a truly exceptional property, set in delightful grounds of half an acre adjoining open countryside and adjacent to the Grand Union Canal. This charming home is steeped in history dating back to the 14th Century having been restored in 1883 and altered in the 1970`s when an extension was added to the southern elevation. Entered via a stone porch with chamfered stone arch and quoins, the accommodation comprises a sitting room with vaulted ceiling and a glorious stained glass window with reticulated tracery, a dual aspect kitchen with space for a range style cooker, dining room with slate floor and log burner which opens into a painted timber conservatory. The first floor offers a galleried landing overlooking the sitting room with study area and a further staircase leading to a mezzanine level. The master bedroom enjoys spectacular views and has an en-suite shower room. The second bedroom also enjoys views over the surrounding countryside with a further window featuring reticulated tracery. The first floor accommodation is completed by a luxurious bathroom. The previously mentioned mezzanine level offers a bedroom with a raised platform and galleried area overlooking the sitting room. Externally, the grounds are undoubtedly a fine feature of this property measuring around half an acre. The east boundary is flanked by a tall retaining wall with a timber gate providing access directly on to the tow path of the Grand Union Canal. The grounds have been well tended with large areas of lawn, mature shrubs and trees. The south and east boundaries adjoin open fields. To the front of the property there is a further area of garden where the detached double garage can be found.
