Property description

An extended semi detached estate cottage with front and rear gardens, a detached studio/gym and store overlooking St Peters Church in the Ilmer conservation area.

The property is in the centre of Ilmer by the village green, is built of brick under an old tiled roof and has views of St Peters Church. The property has 1,306 sq. ft. of accommodation over two floors. The front door opens to a hall which is panelled to dado height and has stairs to the first floor with a cupboard under. Doors from the hall lead to a sitting room with a fireplace and to a dining room/study which is open plan to a curved conservatory with doors to the rear garden. The sitting room and conservatory both have access to the kitchen which overlooks the rear garden and has Shaker style cabinets with beech work surfaces and upstands with an inset sink. There is an integrated double oven, an electric hob with an extractor over and space for a washing machine, dishwasher and fridge freezer. Off the kitchen is a two piece cloakroom. Engineered hardwood flooring was installed throughout the ground floor about 12 months ago and the windows were replaced in 2021.

First Floor

The landing gives access to three bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom overlooks the rear garden. Bedroom two has views across the green and the church beyond and has a built-in wardrove. Bedroom three has views to the side towards the village pond. The bathroom has a bath with a shower over and a vanity unit with inset basin. The WC is screened from the rest of the room by the wall at one end of the bath.

Outside

The property is set well back from the road, with a front garden which is laid mainly to lawn and framed on both sides by deep flower and shrub borders. An unobtrusive front boundary maximises the view of the green and the church beyond. A stone path passes a brick well before leading to the front door and a gate at the side gives access to the rear garden which has a shed for storage and raised wooden beds for growing vegetables or flowers. A patio in one corner provides space for entertaining. The detached garage has been converted into a studio/gym and a separate store.
