About this property

Looking out to the hills in the south, this unique country cottage has potential to adapt the current flexible layout that includes a double garage and superb entertainments room. With elevated views and ease of access to local amenities, this makes an ideal rural retreat. Extensively renovated with modern wood windows and updated heating system in addition to a solar system on feed in tariff.

Believed to date from the 1700's, this character home has been extended, yet still offers potential for further adaptation subject to permissions. The current configuration of accommodation that was originally the village public house, includes some charming features such as the long vaulted dining room. The main hall with stairs to the first floor, includes a tiled bathroom with a separate shower and bath. To the side of the hall is a kitchen breakfast room with an island unit and granite tops complemented by a quarry tiled floor. Beyond this is a utility room with courtesy door to the front garden and the garage. There is also a cloakroom off the utility room. To the rear of the hall is the dining room with a central roof. This is a fascinating and atmospheric room adding to the character of the property. From here a door opens to the sitting room with windows and door to the front garden along with a central fireplace. The first floor comprises three double bedrooms with the principal bedroom benefiting from an ensuite shower room. Returning to the ground floor, the double width garage has a door connecting to a superb games room/home office suite that looks out to the front with a wood burner adding comfort for those colder evenings.
