Description Lot 2 – The Coach House at Tigh-Na-Geald The village doctor used to keep his pony and trap in the grounds of Tigh na Geald, in a purpose built Coach House with hay loft, tack rooms and accommodation for a pony boy. This has been tastefully converted by a local architect into an award winning cottage. The Coach House has private access to the main road and can be separated easily from the main house. If the property were to remain combined with the main house it could potentially provide owners’ quarters while running the main house as a B&B, provide an ideal ‘granny flat’ or grandchildren/ teenagers retreat, or generate an income for the owners as a letting property.

Accommodation The accommodation offers two double bedrooms, bathroom with shower and bathtub and a large open plan dining kitchen and sitting room. The kitchen is fully fitted with dishwasher, washing machine and fridge freezer. There are French windows leading from the sitting room onto a south facing, sandstone patio.

Above the bedrooms is the hay loft converted into a useful storage area with access from the high level barn door or through a hatch and folding stair from one of the bedrooms.

Outside The Coach House has its own private driveway and parking with small grounds surrounding it with mature trees and flower beds. Services Heating and hot water is provided by an oil fired boiler. The conversion has been completed to the latest heat emission standards and the property is very efficient to run. Telephone and broadband service has been installed.
