DESCRIPTION

Cob Hall Cottage is an attractive country cottage, constructed predominantly of stone with some brick beneath a slate roof. The property was originally three cottages, probably constructed in the early nineteenth century for agricultural or quarry workers, It was converted to two in the 1940s at the behest of the owner of the Manley estate, and then to one in circa 1967 by a well-known local builders Matrec, also responsible for the Gunnery development in Tarvin. Internally the property provides spacious and superbly proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors and ideally suited to family living, a single person or couple, including those downsizing from a larger property. It has retained much of its original character with plenty of exposed ceiling timbers particularly at ground floor level.

Cob Hall Cottage has been in the same ownership since 2007 during which time the property has had a new boiler and also double glazed windows installed. There are two lovely reception rooms, both of which have twin aspects to the front and rear of the building, one with a functioning fireplace. At the other end of the house from the hall is the kitchen/breakfast room which has plenty of storage, a central island with granite surface, electric range cooker and integrated dishwasher. Off the kitchen is a useful room suitable as a utility also with study area, and there is a back door to outside.

At first floor level, the galleried landing provides access to four double bedrooms and two bath/shower rooms, one of which is en-suite to the master bedroom. All bedrooms overlook the gardens, and many also have lovely long views across adjoining fields and surrounding countryside.

In summary, Cob Hall Cottage is a charming country property occupying a highly desirable location. The extent of the accommodation is well suited to a variety of different buyer requirements, but there may also be scope for further extension and/or reconfiguration if necessary, subject to obtaining any relevant consents.
