Description

ABOUT THE PROPERTY

The Green represents an attractive edge of village detached home enjoying large gardens and stunning countryside views across the picturesque Taw Valley, extending in all to about 0.34 acres.

It is believed the property started life as a former farm cottage constructed predominantly of stone elevations beneath a slate roof, exhibiting charming character features with tremendous potential for further improvement or enlargement, subject to any necessary consents.

The well proportioned accommodation, briefly comprises - welcoming entrance hall, large dual aspect living room with inglenook fireplace containing a woodburning stove, opening leading to the adjoining conservatory. A dual aspect dining room with patio doors to the garden also containing a former open fireplace. Adjoining is the large kitchen/dining room with useful utility/boot room and cloakroom. The first floor provides three double bedrooms and family bathroom. The master bedroom benefits from dual aspects and three built in cupboards. It is thought that there is ample space to create an ensuite shower room, if desired.

The location of the property provides a balance of easy access and rural living, lying adjacent to the A377.
