4 bed terraced house for sale

Market Place, Castle Combe SN14

Description

Combe Cottage is an enchanting honey-stone period property situated in the heart of the world-renowned village of Castle Combe in the south Cotswolds. With origins in both the 16th and 18th Centuries, the cottage is steeped in history having formerly been a prominent shop premises within the village which continued until modern times. The property is Grade II listed and has retained much of its mesmerising period features including stone mullion windows, exposed timber beams, fireplaces, and a 19th Century studded plank front door. The magnificent unspoilt charm of the property has attracted the attention of Hollywood and was recently used as a filming location.

Incorporating the former retail shop and workshop, the accommodation is deceptively large extending to over 2,600 sq.ft. The property is now dated and requires modernisation and internal improvement throughout. However, the property does have the benefit of a newly overhauled roof which previously had caused water ingress damage to some walls.

Within the main cottage area, there are two receptions rooms, a kitchen and a WC on the ground floor. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms and a spacious bathroom. To the side complete with a separate front and rear access, the shop floors and workshop have huge potential to be incorporated into the accommodation and enlarge the cottage with an internal door already connecting the two, subject to obtaining the required planning consents. There are two mezzanine floors above the premise.

The property is accompanied by a charming garden positioned at the rear with views of the church. The garden has a favourable west aspect with a good degree of privacy and is a delight to enjoy with terraces framed by well-stocked raised beds. Located opposite the property within The Old Stable Yard, there is a garage which occupies a corner position and is larger than average.
