Full Details

Step Inside
The front of the cottage does not do the interior justice, step into the welcoming entrance hall which provides access to the principal living areas. A useful cloakroom/W.C. is located off the hall, the spacious sitting room has much character with split level wooden floors, log burner and wooden staircase rising to the first floor. Double doors lead through to the heart of the house and the wow feature, an open plan kitchen/ dining room which enjoys panoramic views of the surrounding countryside through a vaulted glazed gable. The kitchen is comprehensively fitted to a high standard and offers a range of base and wall cupboards with space for appliances and a breakfast bar. An exposed stone wall is a reminder that the cottage has much history and is a contract to the more modern glazed window design. The ground floor is completed by a useful study/television/play room, an ideal place to retreat from the main living areas.

First Floor
To the first floor are three bedrooms, all filled with features and character in keeping with the period of the cottage. Aside from the bedrooms, the first floor accommodates the family bathroom which has a roll edged bath with rainfall shower over and vanity wash hand basin. In addition to this is a separate W.C. and a wash hand basin.

Step Outside
Located in an elevated position, the cottage is approached via a shared gated pedestrian access. To the rear is is a large terrace which is ideal for al-fresco dining and enjoying the spectacular views. Steps lead down to a generous lawned garden.
