Description

Positioned in a rural setting, this charming three-bedroom semi-detached stone cottage sits within generous gardens that back directly onto open farmland, enjoying far-reaching views across fields and countryside. From the moment you step through the door, the property reveals a wealth of character, with exposed ceiling beams, delightful window seats and a traditional brick-built fireplace complete with a wood-burning stove and wooden mantle, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

The accommodation offers a comfortable blend of charm and practicality. The fitted kitchen enjoys a dual aspect, allowing plenty of natural light while providing storage and appliance space. A downstairs bathroom is fitted with a three-piece suite, while a double-glazed conservatory overlooks the grounds and features double doors that open out to the garden, providing a lovely space to relax while taking in the surrounding countryside.

Upstairs, the first floor comprises two well-proportioned double bedrooms along with a third single bedroom, offering flexible accommodation suitable for a variety of needs.

Externally, the property occupies a generous plot with a five-bar wooden side gate leading to a stone-chipped driveway that provides off-street parking. Steps lead to a paved seating area, ideal for outdoor dining, and onwards to the large rear garden which backs directly onto open fields, offering privacy and wonderful rural views. The expansive grounds present excellent potential for further development or extension, subject to the necessary consents.

Additional benefits include double glazing throughout, heating provided by a combination of electric heater and the wood-burning stove, and a private septic tank that has recently been renewed. This unique cottage offers an appealing opportunity to enjoy countryside living in a home full of charm and character.
