House For Sale £330,000

Exposed stone and granite external elevations, slate roofs, internal eco lime rendering to some internal walls, slate flagstone and exposed wooden flooring, 3 fireplace recesses, 2 with wood burners another housing a Watsons oil fired Range providing hot water (there is a separate immersion heater for the Summer months) and heating to radiators, all with granite bressummer beams over. A mix of single glazed sash windows and double glazed wooden windows with some inset into solid oak frames. An extension has modern uPVC double glazed windows, an entrance door and a flat fibreglass roof which could make an ideal seating terrace.

Further openings to the Kitchen and Sitting Room, which has a high vaulted ceiling bringing in much light and a large wood burner for those cooler nights.

The home is situated up a private tarmac lane, serving 4 other properties, in an elevated position and nestled within its own private meandering and mature tiered Gardens, which offer much privacy and some lovely views over the surrounding countryside. Within the gardens is a workshop, polytunnel in need of some attention and at the top is an outbuilding which has previously been used as a studio, but could be renovated to create an all year round Home Office or Garden Room. A few steps away on the opposite side of the lane is private parking for 2/3 vehicles with a covered storage area ideal for logs.
