Turners Tower, Faulkland

Vendors comments - "We love Turners Tower for its stunning views, watching the red kites overhead, and the freedom to explore the surrounding countryside. Its beautiful cottage character, with oak beams and a cosy log burner, has made it a truly special home."

Constructed in 1887 by John Turner, this wonderful home has been loved and cared for by the current owners and offers the perfect rural cottage whilst being well connected. With far reaching views across the rear and fields surrounding the property has all the boxes ticked when it comes to location.

In brief, the internal accommodation consists of an entrance porch, lounge, dining space, kitchen, utility, three bedrooms, bathroom and a cellar.

The living space is an open planned room consisting of a lounge/diner which has been opened up to create a beautifully light and airy space. With wooden beam and a log burner in situ, this tasteful accommodation still has its character features. There is ample space for lounge furnishings as well as a large dining table. From the dining space there are stairs rising, understairs storage and access into the kitchen. The kitchen has been finished in sage green shaker style cabinetry with built in white good appliances and has access to a rear porch, which doubles up as a small utility space.

On the first floor are two double bedrooms and a single room. The bathroom concludes the first floor accommodation and is a great space that has been finished with a modern suite.

Externally, to the front is driveway parking for three cars comfortably and to the rear is an additional space in front of the garage. Directly underneath the kitchen and accessed through an external door is a cellar that doubles up as additional storage or a cool, dry food store.
The garage is a great space thanks to the workshop bolted on the rear. A real great space for those who enjoy hobbies such as woodwork, classic cars and more! There is an additional outbuilding that has an additional store and log store attached.
The garden is mainly laid to lawn with a pergola seating area at the top end and due to its open aspect a real suntrap.
