Ground Floor
Step into the impressive entrance hall with vaulted ceiling, glazed panels, turned wooden staircase rising to the first floor mezzanine and stained glass double doors to the sitting room on one side and the kitchen/dining/family room on the other. The entrance hall is flooded with light and sets the tone for the remainder of this beautiful house and its stunning interior. The sitting room forms part of the original cottage and is a cosy room with much character and charm, the original fireplace and bread oven are features of the room and in keeping with the Scandanavian twist, a contemporary log burning stove complements the period features. The open plan kitchen/dining/family room really is the heart of the home. A spacious and light room, with views across the garden to the countryside beyond, has been thoughtfully designed to be both functional and aesthetically pleasing.

Agent's Notes
Ty-Corner is located in a flood risk zone, the property last flooded from river water over 35 years ago. The present owners who have lived in the property for 38 years decided in 1999, to have a bund built on the perimeter of the grounds to protect the property from river flooding. The bund was built professionally by a company of civil engineers and river water has never reached the height of the bund.
In 2020 Storm Dennis caused severe flooding across the UK and this was on the back of earlier storms in late 2019. The 2019 storms caused no flooding or damage to Ty-Corner however, during the 2020 storm the bund was breached at a very low level and it transpired that rabbits / rodents had penetrated the bund creating a hole / weakness. As a result, flood water from the field (not the river) seeped through the lower level of the bund which caused the ground floor of the house to flood, the detached annexe did not flood.
...
The bund has been repaired and now includes a triple membrane with a mesh covering to prevent rodents / rabbits from being able to dig through the bank.
Ty-Corner is insured for flood risk and has not been subject to increased insurance premiums.
