DESCRIPTION

A charming detached granite stone cottage in a beautiful unspoilt rural area with lovely views out over the surrounding countryside. The property is beautifully presented throughout, having undergone a thorough programme of refurbishment and an adjacent, dilapidated stone barn has been demolished and reconstructed in the form a superb studio/annexe and adjacent garage.

3 Ref: LCAA5950 Set well away from any near neighbours in a peaceful rural environment with delightful outlooks in all directions over the surrounding fields this is the perfect opportunity for those wishing to acquire a property that can afford an element of self sufficiency. The house is set well back from the lane behind three paddock areas with gardens surrounding the house and annexe, in all the grounds extend to approximately 5 acres.

The lovely balance of accommodation provides generously proportioned living areas to the ground floor in the form of a large modern well fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, a good size dining room and a lovely sitting room with fireplace and woodburning stove. A modern conservatory enjoys the best of the daily sun and looks out over the gardens.

On the first floor are three generous bedrooms with a beautifully equipped family bathroom. The annexe provides separate living accommodation for guests if required or could provide letting income if someone were so minded. There is a large double garage attached to one end of the annexe and a further recently constructed modern profile metal garage on a large galvanised framework with roller shutter up and over doors to the front, accessed from a separate driveway which provides further parking and turning adjacent to the house. The main entrance is between two paddocks with a separate gate into the third paddock which is currently mown to provide a parkland setting for the cottage and annexe. There is a secondary gate into the central paddock further down the lane. We understand a farmer has a right of way over the first part of the driveway to get to one of his fields.
