This charming living space comprises defined kitchen, dining and lounge areas, with triple aspect windows offering views out across the gardens to the surrounding countryside. The kitchen design features a range of stylish grey wall and floor units, complimented by a contrasting white coloured worktop.

The lounge is decorated with a tasteful combination of neutral colours and selected furnishings, with a large, multifuel stove, offering warmth and comfort in equal measure. A doorway leads from the kitchen through to a central hallway, which in turn gives access to three bedrooms, the largest of which features an ensuite bathroom.

A family bathroom is also accessed from the main hallway, along with a storage cupboard which houses the control systems for the various renewable energy systems.

The property was modernised around seven years ago, and now benefits from a thermally efficient design, creating a wonderfully warm and welcoming house. A doorway leads from the hallway to the rear of the property, giving access to the rear garden, with a paved path leading around the property.

A wooden garage sits adjacent to the main house, providing secure car parking or workshop space as required. The garage benefits from electricity connectivity, with a car charging point located on the outer wall. A storage area links the garage to an additional shed which houses a washing machine. Fitted cupboards and worktops provide additional storage.

The rear garden is enclosed, providing a large secure area for dogs to be outside. There is also a chicken enclosure. Also located in the rear garden, a further wooden shed houses a modern Perkins generator along with the control system for the solar photovoltaic system. The filters for the private water supply are also located within this utilities room. An additional, original stone outbuilding sits behind the main house and provides overflow storage as required, also offering potential for other uses. Some other railway cottages in the area have incorporated this outbuilding into the house to provide an extra room. Also, at the time of the modernisation planning permission was granted (but not used) to incorporate a stairway up to the attic, adding two bedrooms and a large landing.
