Dating back to the 1740’s, with a later extension, Laburnum Cottage is a charming property within the heart of the picturesque Nadder Valley village of Chilmark. A highly attractive and well laid out cottage, constructed of local stone, it combines both characterful accommodation and a more contemporary open plan style. The property is well presented with the principal rooms enjoying lovely garden views. On the ground floor, a generous and bright entrance hall, with under stairs storage, leads to a spacious double aspect sitting room, with original beams and large inglenook fireplace. An open plan kitchen/dining/family room opens, via French windows, onto the patio and garden. There is a separate utility/boot room with outside access and a cloakroom. Upstairs, is a master bedroom with ensuite, fitted wardrobes, useful airing cupboard and access to boarded loft space. Two further bedrooms and a family bathroom. There is ample storage space throughout.

The property is located on The Street, a quiet lane within the heart of the village. Access is via a private gravelled driveway, with parking for three cars, adjoining which is a detached single garage. A side gate leads to the sunny aspect rear garden which is mainly laid to lawn, with mature shrubs and planting, laurel hedge, ample patio space and a garden shed. Surrounded by climbing roses and wisteria, the entrance to the cottage is via a small front garden, bordered by box hedging.
