ACCOMMODATION
Upon entering the property, you're welcomed by a practical and inviting porch that opens into a spacious open-plan kitchen and dining area. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with classic shaker-style wall and base units. Well-equipped for everyday living, it features a ceramic hob, single oven, and dedicated spaces for additional white goods. There's also ample room for a generous dining table, making for a great entertaining space.
Characterful touches add warmth to the space, including oak internal doors and attractive wood-effect flooring that blends harmoniously with the exposed wooden beam. Adjacent to the kitchen is a conveniently located WC with a wash hand basin, as well as a separate understairs storage cupboard, which is plumbed for a washer/dryer and provides practical solutions for day-to-day living.
The sitting room with dual-aspect windows flooding the room with light, yet cosy with a wood-burning stove set within a striking stone inglenook fireplace, complete with a slate hearth.
A staircase off the kitchen leads to the first floor, where you’ll find two generously sized double bedrooms, each benefiting from its own private ensuite bathroom. One ensuite features a full-sized bath with an overhead shower, while the other boasts a stylish rainfall shower—perfect for modern living and guest accommodation alike.
Externally, the property is approached via a track and enjoys a sense of seclusion. A pedestrian gate leads to an enclosed gravelled courtyard area, offering a low maintenance outdoor space ideal for al fresco dining or enjoying the sunshine during warmer months.
