4 bed cottage for sale

High Street, Iron Acton BS37

Sitting proudly next to the church in an elevated position on Iron Acton's High Street, Church House is steeped in local history and bursting with period features and charm. This attached property is believed to have originated from the 17th century and in its past used as an Inn and later as a Church meeting room. These days it is a beautifully presented and a substantial family home, a credit to the current owners. A pedestrian gate leads off from the High Street taking you to the front door, which opens into a generous entrance hall with panelled staircase. From here you will find the first reception room with dual aspect and feature beams. You then come to a huge lounge which hosts an impressive inglenook fireplace with working log burner and stunning oak flooring. This space is flooded with natural light with a large area dedicated for formal dining and French doors directly out to the garden. Moving to the back of the house, this makes way for an extended kitchen/breakfast room. A contemporary yet in keeping classic kitchen with integrated appliances, solid wood tops and further views and French doors out to the rear garden. A separate utility room and guest cloakroom is conveniently accessed from here. A welcome surprise is found via wide stone steps that lead you to a large vaulted cellar with central heating and natural light! An exciting space that is presented as a games room but would also be ideal as a home gym, work shop or even office space. The first floor is well balanced and beautifully presented with 4 large double bedrooms (three with fitted wardrobes) plus there is a stunning 4 piece family bathroom and a modern ensuite shower room to the main bedroom. Externally a well kept and pretty rear garden is blessed with a treelined backdrop and views of the village church in all its glory. Laid to lawn and patio with a pedestrian access that leads to an oversized detached garage which has an electric up and over door and driveway parking to the front of it. A beautifully maintained, handsome and well appointed property!
