Description

Cherry Tree Cottage is a charming detached property being offered to the market for the first time in over 55 years, and is set in lovely gardens in a semi-rural position on the edge of the hamlet of Ivy Hatch. The property is within an AONB and the Metropolitan Greenbelt, with nearby popular gastropubs The Plough and The Bucks Head, a church, village hall, primary and nursery schools, gym, cricket and football grounds.

Receptions rooms comprise a sitting room with a fireplace with stone mantle and double doors leading to the conservatory, which has a lovely outlook over the gardens and access on three sides to the terrace. There is also a study which could also be used as a family/play room/snug.

The kitchen/dining room is a bright and well proportioned space enjoying a triple aspect over the gardens. The kitchen is fitted with a range of painted shaker wall and base units with granite work surfaces over and several integrated appliances. A cloakroom and useful understairs cupboard complete the ground floor.

Stairs rise to the first floor where there are three bedrooms, two with fitted storage, all served by a family bathroom completing the internal accommodation.

The property is approached over a gravel driveway with parking for several vehicles and an area of lawn with an attractive flowering cherry tree. There is a paved terrace leading to the detached garage with adjoining store room and the property, which is adorned with climbing wisteria. Paths lead round both sides to the rear gardens which are a delightful feature providing a wonderful backdrop.

A terrace curves round two sides providing an area for al fresco dining, and areas of lawn are interspersed and bordered with abundantly planted beds with a variety of evergreen and flowering plants and shrubs, together with established hedging to the boundary. There are two charming summerhouses, an ornamental pond and a vegetable garden with greenhouse.
