Description

Lily Cottage is situated on the quiet upper end of the High Street, without doubt the prettiest street in Broadway and lined with charming honey coloured period houses and wide grass verges. Lily Cottage is a beautifully presented Grade II listed property dating from the late 17th or early 18th century which retains a number of period features including exposed timbers and mullion windows. The generous and immaculately presented accommodation is full of character and set out over two floors, extending to 1,891 sq. ft. There is a charming sitting room with a handsome stone fireplace and a well-proportioned dining room with former inglenook fireplace complete with original built in bread oven. A large hall leads to a substantial kitchen/breakfast room which is fitted with an excellent range of cabinets and a four-oven Aga. There is ample space for a table and chairs. Double doors lead out to terrace and rear garden. Completing the ground floor is a utility and WC.

On the first floor and accessed by its own staircase is the wonderful principal bedroom with dressing area and well-appointed en suite bathroom with roll top bath. The bedroom has a vaulted ceiling, exposed timbers and enjoys views over the garden. A staircase from the sitting room rises to two double bedrooms which share a bathroom.

A small garden lies to the front featuring manicured box hedging and shrubs. The main enclosed garden is to the rear. Steps lead up from a paved terrace to a mature lawn with well stocked beds. At the end of the garden is a useful stone outbuilding and wood store. A handsome stone arch leads to a passageway to the garage and parking space, a huge bonus in Broadway where parking is at a premium. The garage and outbuilding both have light and power connected.
