Church Street, Southwell

A charming 2 bedroom period cottage with a private south facing garden and parking for 2 vehicles, within walking distance of Southwell town centre.

Believed to date back to the 1850's, this property is tucked away at the end of a private drive just off Church Street in the Easthorpe area of Southwell.

The home has been lovingly updated whilst retaining the character and heart of a period property. With exposed beams, wood panelled latch lift doors and a traditional brick fireplace, there is cottage charm throughout. As part of the modernisation, the owners have installed double glazed sliding sash windows.

The welcoming kitchen has been opened up to include a dining and utility area, a lovely social space for cooking and dining. The downstairs shower room leads off the utility area, with contemporary tiling and a large corner shower. The beautiful sitting room, with a characterful brick fireplace with multi-fuel burning stove, offers a cosy space to retire to after a busy day. Upstairs there are two bedrooms, a washroom and access to the fully boarded loft.

There is an enchanting south facing garden with a pretty lawn bordered with an established hedge and attractive trees, which make this sunny garden a lovely private spot. To the edge of the lawn is the gravelled driveway with parking for 2 vehicles; not that you would need to reach for your car keys with Southwell town centre on your doorstep.

Southwell is a thriving market town with a Minster and a great collection of independent shops, cafes and restaurants. There are a number of highly regarded infant and junior schools as well as the much sought after Minster secondary school. All of these are within a 10 minute walk of the property. There is also access to many different sports and recreational facilities nearby. Southwell is surrounded by countryside so there are plenty of beautiful walks right on your doorstep.
