2 bedroom house for sale

2 Leverton Lane is a delightful two bedroom period cottage, one of a row of very pretty thatched cottages built in an identical style, and believed to date from the late 18th century. The cottages were originally owned by the neighbouring Chilton Estate. The property occupies a lovely position in the small hamlet of Leverton surrounded by beautiful countryside. 2 Leverton Lane is in good order throughout, and is full of character with many of the original features still in place, including exposed timber beams and original fireplaces. On the ground floor there is a charming sitting room with an inglenook fireplace and wood burning stove creating a cosy and comfortable living space. The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with attractive wooden units, smart worktops, a Butler's sink and an Aga range cooker. There is space for a dining table, and a door opens out to the terrace and garden. The family bathroom is also on the ground floor, and is fitted with a bath with an overhead shower. There is also a very useful utility room/boot room which could alternatively be used as an office space if desired. This room has a back door providing a secondary entrance to the property. The staircase leads up to two good sized bedrooms on the first floor.

There is a wonderful and surprisingly large garden at the rear of the property, mostly laid to lawn which slopes gently upwards giving far reaching views of the surrounding countryside and farmland beyond. The terrace area is ideal for outside entertaining, and there is also a summerhouse further up the garden, as well as a useful garden store. The property has the benefit of access onto the lane via the neighbouring garden.
