Description
This impressive property is set within beautifully landscaped gardens and benefits from off-road parking and a garage, making it an ideal choice for families or those seeking space and style in a desirable setting.
An internal inspection is highly recommended to fully appreciate the charm, space, and quality that this stunning home has to offer.
Purchased in 2010 and lovingly improved by the current owners, Coulsworthy is an immaculate home offering a seamless balance of open-plan living and more intimate, cosy spaces.
Upgrades to the property include the installation of a wood-burning stove in 2012, replacement of the upstairs windows in 2014, and the fitting of solar panels which generate a feed-in tariff of approximately £800 per annum. In addition, a new gas central heating boiler was installed in 2021, further enhancing the home's efficiency and comfort.
