Description
Black Fire Cottage is beautifully extended and thoughtfully modernised, this characterful home blends period charm with contemporary living along with the original features such as exposed beams, an attractive fireplace and a wealth of historic detail create a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout.
The property opens into a welcoming entrance hall leading to a good-sized kitchen equipped with a gas range cooker and dining area. The kitchen and the sitting room both have a wood burning stove and both rooms open onto the rear garden, offering an easy flow between indoor and outdoor spaces.
In the 1990s, the former garage, once the village blacksmith’s forge, was converted to create an additional reception room, now used as a study with an attic room accessed currently via a ladder.
Upstairs, there are three bedrooms and a family bathroom and the principal bedroom.
Externally, the property offers an enclosed patio area with a brick built BBQ and a stone boiler house/store. A wrought iron gate opens into a mature garden with established planting and a detached workshop, formerly the village fire station, now adapted into a characterful studio with power and a wood burner. A further gate provides access to The Walk.
To the front, private off street parking for two vehicles along with an electric vehicle charging point.
