Description

 Open 9am–9pm, 7 Days A Week, 365 Days A Year!
Welcome to Cobblers Cottage, a truly charming Grade II listed home tucked away in the very heart of Whitchurch, just a one-minute walk from the town centre. Packed with original features, timeless character and plenty of warmth, this delightful cottage is a wonderful example of how a traditional period property can offer something genuinely special. Offered for sale with no onward chain, this is a home that will appeal to those looking for character in abundance, whether as a permanent home, a weekend retreat or potentially a holiday let.
Step inside and the cottage immediately begins to tell its story. The entrance hallway features a beautiful stained-glass door, adding a splash of colour and character while providing access through to the rear courtyard. The living room is equally full of charm, with a magnificent inglenook fireplace forming a real centrepiece, complete with a cast-iron wood-burning stove. Just imagine settling down here on a chilly evening, with the fire glowing and the cottage's original features creating that wonderfully cosy atmosphere.
The kitchen is another real highlight, featuring handmade cabinetry, a traditional Belfast sink and a combination of oak and granite worktops. There is a lovely blend of traditional craftsmanship and practicality, with integrated appliances and space to enjoy everyday cooking. French doors open directly onto the pretty, private rear courtyard, creating a lovely connection between the kitchen and outside space. It is an inviting little spot to enjoy a morning coffee, a quiet moment in the sunshine or a glass of something chilled at the end of the day.
Heading upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to a beautiful traditional-style bathroom and a spacious double bedroom. This bedroom also provides access to a further versatile room, complete with its own vaulted ceiling and exposed beams. Depending on your needs, this additional space could make a lovely nursery, dressing room, study or occasional guest bedroom, offering flexibility to suit different lifestyles.
And then, to the real showstopper! Stairs rise from the landing to the impressive principal bedroom, a truly characterful space where exposed original beams and a stunning vaulted ceiling combine to create a wonderfully atmospheric retreat. With its charming proportions and distinctive period features, this is a bedroom with real personality, offering somewhere special to escape to at the end of the day.
Outside, the property enjoys a charming and private courtyard, accessed from both the kitchen and entrance hallway. Although intimate in size, it provides a lovely little outdoor sanctuary, ideal for sitting out and enjoying a little peace and quiet in the heart of town.
Cobblers Cottage is a home that really does have character at every turn, from the stained-glass entrance door and inglenook fireplace to the handmade kitchen and breathtaking principal bedroom. With Whitchurch's shops, cafés, pubs and everyday amenities just moments away, this is a rare opportunity to own a distinctive period cottage in a wonderfully convenient town-centre location.
The property may also be available furnished, subject to separate negotiation, presenting an interesting opportunity for buyers considering a holiday let or investment, as well as those simply looking for a home with charm, individuality and a story to tell.
A cottage with bags of character, a superb location and a principal bedroom that is sure to leave a lasting impression. Cobblers Cottage really is one to put on your viewing list
