"DESCRIPTION
Church Hill Cottage is a charming period style property which sits well with its Georgian, Victorian and Medieval neighbours on this particularly pretty stretch of Church Hill. The house has, in recent years, been the subject of a thoughtfully planned and meticulously executed programme of refurbishment which has dramatically enhanced the property both inside and out.

The particularly comfortable accommodation has been carefully planned with each of the principal rooms enjoying a southerly aspect with pleasing roof top views over the town with the sea in the distance. The accommodation comprises a welcoming entrance hall leading to the generous sitting dining room which is flooded with light from three windows and from where French doors lead to the garden. The well equipped kitchen, which is to the rear of the house, has a door leading to the courtyard garden. There is also a cloakroom on the ground floor. The first floor comprises three bedrooms and a bathroom.

The house is approached via a flight of flag stone steps with wrought iron balustrade and is set behind high brick and stone walls which lend a great deal of privacy to the gardens. To the rear of the house is a walled courtyard garden with clever topiary against the walls and to the front, the south facing garden is tiered and has been thoughtfully planted creating a beautiful setting for alfresco entertaining. There is also the surprising but valuable asset of a garage situated in Bartholomew Street, opposite the foot of the hill.

For room sizes please refer to the floorplan.
