Full Details

The Cottage and Barn
The main entrance to the original cottage is through a wooden stable door into the kitchen which is fitted with a range of cream base and wall cupboards with black granite worktop and upstands. A matching large central island features a wine rack and breakfast bar with space for several stools. Set in an attractive alcove is a cream range cooker. The kitchen has a slate tiled floor and leads to an original stone staircase rising to a first floor bedroom with built-in cupboards, en- suite shower room with floor to wall tiles and views over the front garden. To the other end of the kitchen are couple of steps to the stylish living room with decorative tiled floor, contemporary oak panelling and woodburning stove set into a fabulous inglenook with oak mantel. Full height windows span the length of the room and double doors open onto the south-facing sun terrace with views beyond to the garden and woods. A few more steps lead up to a spacious room with tiled floor and exposed beams, currently utilised as the master bedroom, with similar full height windows and doors to the terrace. A door leads through to a superb wood-framed glazed conservatory with wooden panelled ceiling, built-in seating to three sides and external door to the rear garden. From the master bedroom a couple of steps lead to a small hallway with a door to a superb fully tiled bathroom with corner spa bath, separate shower, double sink vanity unit and heated towel rail. From the inner hall, continue up to a further first floor bedroom with a range of fitted cupboards.

Separate individually designed lodge house
Within the grounds, across the garden, is a wooden-clad individually designed and built lodge house. The lodge is approached by a wooden ramp to two doors; one of which opens into the living room and the other into a hallway with doors leading to two bedrooms with en suite shower rooms and fitted wardrobes. The living room has a small woodburning stove and leads to the well-appointed kitchen fitted with a range of modern units with space for white goods, an integrated cooker with extractor hood over and glazed door to one of the bedrooms. The lodge has been designed with 2 entrance doors allowing one of the en-suite bedrooms to be accessed separately.

Studio
To the rear of the greenhouse is a self-contained studio with kitchenette area and en suite shower room. An ideal ‘teenager’s den’, work from home office/studio or guest suite.

The gardens and grounds of The Waun are truly idyllic; a cornucopia of interesting terraces, lawns, seating areas, rockeries and wide borders filled with shrubs and herbaceous plants; a perfect haven for enjoying the tranquil surroundings. The property is approached via wooden gates leading to the gravel driveway to a large parking and turning area edged with a stone wall. A decorative slabbed path leads up to a sunny south facing terrace to the main entrance and continues to a further large patio with ample space for outdoor dining and entertaining. Steps lead down to another seating area covered with a splendid wooden pergola with a large stone barbecue/pizza oven. Adjacent is an extraordinary raised ornamental fishpond with some charming features such as grottoes and gargoyles and to the front, a manicured lawn. At the end of the cottage is an adjoining wooden-clad outbuilding with hot tub and sloping roof over. To the rear of the property is a gravelled area with raised borders and mature trees adjoining sloping orchards. Across the drive, nestled into the surrounding trees, is the cabin and annexe with their own parking area.
