A quintessential , former farmer workers cottage full of charm – with stunning grounds, fabulous views and further potential to extend / improve.

Bursting with character and timeless appeal, this is a rare gem. From its exposed beams and cosy wood burning stove, to the classic country kitchen featuring a Belfast sink and traditional Rayburn cooker, every corner of this home radiates warmth and heritage.
Set within a generous and well-orientated plot, the property enjoys sunshine throughout the day with east, south, and west-facing aspects. A sweeping driveway creates a grand approach, leading to a spacious car port that offers excellent potential for conversion or extension (subject to planning).
The ground floor welcomes you through the entrance hall that flows into a charming and inviting sitting room and a beautifully crafted farmhouse kitchen/dining room that’s perfect for both relaxed family meals and entertaining. Beyond the kitchen is a delightful garden room filled with natural light from the double doors overlooking the garden. A handy utility/boot room and cloakroom complete the downstairs layout.
Upstairs, the home continues to impress with three/four bedrooms, including a delightful master with en suite, and a family bathroom.
Homes like this, combining period charm, versatile space, and such a picturesque setting, seldom come to market.
