Cum-Bye forms a charmingly quirky country cottage set in a generous plot with beautiful mature gardens to the side and rear.  With stunning views over the surrounding countryside, the property offers spacious and versatile living accommodation on one level and has an array of pleasing traditional features.

Entered from the front, a small vestibule provides access to the master bedroom and the dining room/lounge.  The master bedroom is a double room to the front with a range of built in wardrobes.  The dining room/lounge is also situated to the front and has practical tiled flooring and timber ceiling beams and an original range cooker (ornamental) provides a pleasing focal point.  From here a door leads through to the kitchen and another door leads through to the Sitting Room.  The cosy galley kitchen is a well utilised space with a range of timber floor and wall units, tiled splash backs and tiling to the floor.  There is a Belfast sink and space for a dishwasher and electric cooker.  A timber door from the kitchen leads through to the conservatory which is a useful additional facility located overlooking the back garden with double doors out.

The second sitting room/public room is a cosy and inviting space with carpet flooring, ceiling beams and a range cooker (ornamental) in situ.  From here the utility room and shower room can be accessed and a separate door leads to the second bedroom.   The utility room is decorated in a shade of pale green and has space for a range of under counter white goods and a door through to the shower room which is a three piece shower room with wash hand basin, WC and shower enclosure with electric shower.  A cupboard houses the water tank.  Finally, the second bedroom overlooks the front of the property with stunning open views.  This room has neutral décor with a feature wall in blue and carpet flooring.

Externally the property benefits from off street parking to the front and a timber garage and shed.  The gardens extends to the rear and side and has a variety of pathways meandering through mature trees and shrubs.  There are various patios and chipped areas and a wooden bridge leads over the small pond.  To the rear of the property are various stone built outhouses and the oil tank is located here also.
