Originally two cottages, this house dates back to the 1770s but the current owners have sympathetically and lovingly restored it to create a contemporary home.
The open plan reception room, kitchen and dining area immediately catch your attention as you walk through from the entrance hall, with sky lights, patio doors giving a feeling of light and space.
There is a delightful courtyard accessed form the dining area, an ideal sun trap for al fresco dining.
For cooler evenings, the property has 2 log burners. One in the open plan reception room and the second in the cosy snug.
Contemporary colours have been used throughout the property to create a calm, modern feel but traditional features such as the parquet flooring and brick fireplace are a nod to the property’s heritage.
On the first floor, you will find three bedrooms, one with en-suite shower room and one with an en-suite bathroom with shower over roll top bath.
To the front of the property, there is a large courtyard area with parking for three cars and bike storage. To the rear, there is a private courtyard.
