A rare opportunity to purchase an archetypal Grade II listed 19th century Combe Down cottage. Packed with period features throughout but now in need of some modernisation. Lovely southerly facing garden and first floor views across the rooftops and beyond.

Description
This double fronted period property was built circa 1795-1815 and sits in a short row of cottages formerly known as Brunswick Place.You approach the cottage through gated plain spike rails on dwarf stone walls down steps to a sunken courtyard area to the front. Entering the property through the gabled stone porch you arrive in the open hallway which leads to the lounge, dining room, rear sunroom and stairs to the first floor.You immediately notice how this charming cottage has retained many of its original period features with recessed glazing bar sashes and open feature fire places throughout. The relaxing lounge features one such fireplace with stone hearth and ornate wooden surround and mantle. With sash windows to front aspect and glazed wooden framed doors opening out into the sunroom. On in to the dining room and another feature fireplace with sash windows to front and rear aspect. Through into the galley style kitchen, with wooden frame glazed door to rear aspect, you then proceed further into the more recently added annexe area. This additional annexe provides a downstairs wc and shower room which serves both the house and adjoining bedroom. Future owners may wish to utilise the is space as a separate annexe, as it has its own outside access or convert to being a study or children's area of the house.As you climb the cast iron balustraded and railed stairs you find access from the small landing to two large bedrooms and the bathroom. The master bedroom provides dual aspect to front and rear aspects through sash windows and comes with feature fireplace and a useful washbasin.

This single room provides sash window to rear aspect and could be used as a bedroom or converted to a dressing room and/or ensuite. The bathroom may be small but the essence here is cosy as you could lie back in the bath and take in the views across the rear garden, rooftops and over to the Midford valley. This view is also afforded to the two double bedrooms and will be a real delight as it is southerly facing and far reaching.Outside the south westerly facing garden is of a good size and extending to around 100ft. There is a stone paved patio area with low stone wall pond, whilst the remaining garden is laid with established beds, shurbs and small trees. There is a stone wall to the rear garden where you will also find a couple of wooden built sheds. From hear you will also notice the three Velux windows already installed in the roof potentially adding further possibilities to the living accommodation.
