Description
A stone-built cottage, formerly a one-bedroom dwelling dating back to the 1700s, has been heavily extended to create a substantial rural residence. Set within 1.8 acres, including a field opposite, the property enjoys uninterrupted countryside views. The grounds include a gravelled driveway, a detached double garage with workshop, a metal barn, and several sheds, offering scope for restoration or repurposing.
Inside, the property features original beams, a stone fireplace surround, and a spacious annex wing with a possible conversion to multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or holiday let use. The upper level has four double bedrooms, two with ensuite facilities, a family bathroom, a living room, and an additional living room with a kitchenette. Externally, the gardens feature raised balcony seating, a substantial patio terrace, and a fire pit.
The property requires a program of updating and modernisation to restore it to its former glory.
