Description:

MODERNISATION PROJECT. An individually built Detached Stone Cottage, overlooking Chapel Green, offering great potential for reconfiguration or extension (subject to all necessary consents) within walking distance of the village pubs, shop, cafes, primary school, and countryside in this popular Canalside village. CHAIN FREE. Introduction The story of Cromwell Cottage started long before the cottage was built. In 1694 George & Hester Blagrove built a row of eight cottages, in High Street, Cropredy, four of these now form what is known as Stonecroft Cottage. The other four cottages in the row proceeded to fall into considerable disrepair over the years in previous different ownerships. The current seller’s father, Ken, was based at an RAF training base in Mollington during the Second World War and was a Normandy veteran. Here he met the love of his life Lily, a local girl from Mollington. After being demobbed from the services, Ken & Lily married and decided to set up home in Cropredy at Stonecroft Cottage. Ideally placed next store to the other four cottages, originally built by George & Hester Blagrove, they were able to see and act quickly when each cottage came up for sale. In 1951 the first of the afore-mentioned cottages was purchased and over the years they proceeded to acquire the remaining three cottages, stretching themselves financially, raising mortgages to eventually buy all four severely dilapidated cottages. Once they had acquired all the four cottages they saved hard for their plan to build a new home for their family on the land the cottages stood on as the original cottages were beyond economic repair. Ken & Lily then set about building Cromwell Cottage reusing the stone from the original cottages to add character to the build whilst also saving and installing the original 1694 date stone to the front elevation of Cromwell Cottage from the demolished cottages as a homage.
