Property Details

Accommodation
The property was formerly two cottages and now offers well-laid-out accommodation arranged over two floors.

Ground Floor
The entrance hallway provides access to the main living areas, including a snug with open fire and fitted bookcases, a sitting room with a wood-burning stove and exposed stonework, and access to an unconverted stone-floored cellar with external door and fire escape window.

Steps lead down to a spacious 24ft kitchen/dining room with exposed beams and dual-aspect windows, offering access to a private courtyard garden.

Connected to the kitchen are a series of workshop spaces and an office, featuring double doors to the lane, skylights, and sizable windows. These spaces offer scope for a variety of uses, subject to the necessary consents. A further unconverted garage/workshop is accessed externally.

First Floor
A split-level landing leads to four bedrooms and a family bathroom. Bedrooms 1 and 2 are positioned at the front of the house, each with built-in wardrobes, feature fireplaces, and en-suite facilities including a shower room and separate WC. Bedroom 3 includes built-in storage and overlooks the lane. Bedroom 4 lies adjacent to the family bathroom, which features a clawfoot bath and traditional fittings with views to the rear garden and stream.

Outside
The gardens are arranged across several levels with gravel pathways, established beds, and seating areas. The plot backs onto a stream which forms part of the England/Wales border.

To the front, a stone terrace leads to the main entrance, with access to the courtyard at the rear from the kitchen. The garden also includes a wood store and shed attached to the garage.
