Full Details

Step Inside
From street level, enter into the entrance hall with access to the bedrooms, bathroom and a studio / further bedroom, which was possibly a former barn, with exposed timbers and dual aspect windows. The turned hand rail and balustrade are typical of a Georgian property, the wooden floorboards adding a cottage feel. It is believed the property and the neighbouring dwelling once formed a house and shop, the bars on the window at street level are part of this history.

...
The bedrooms are generous in size with panel glazed windows to the rear overlooking the garden and enjoying views towards open countryside. The bedrooms are tastefully decorated and include ornate fireplaces. The first floor accommodation is completed by a bathroom and in keeping with the period of the property has a free standing roll top bath and W.C. with high cistern. To the far side of this floor is a further bedroom / study with vaulted ceiling, exposed stone walls and dual aspect panel glazed windows to the side and the rear overlooking the garden. Believed to have been a former barn, this room could be utilised as a further reception room or remain as a studio.

Wooden stairs lead down to the ground floor accommodation comprising : 2 reception rooms with character and features, both with high ceilings and a light and welcoming feel. The reception room has an ornate fireplace with wood burning stove and panelled glazed sash window with views over the garden and the sitting room has an ornate fireplace and French doors leading out to the rear.
