IMPRESSIVE END-TERRACE COURTYARD DWELLINGHOUSE

Enjoying a delightful secluded setting on the edge of the village of Acharacle at Shielfoot, Acharacle House is a charming stone-built Edwardian end-terrace home. Recently upgraded and sympathetically restored, the property features a handmade bespoke fitted kitchen while retaining an abundance of original character, including a striking curved pitch pine staircase, panelled doors, fireplaces and ornate plaster ceiling roses. Further benefits  include double glazing and oil-fired central heating. Enjoying attractive views over the surrounding countryside, the property offers spacious, well-proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors, comprising an entrance hallway, dining lounge, kitchen/diner, utility room and cloakroom on the ground floor, with two generous bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor. A useful floored attic room with a Velux window provides additional versatile space, most recently used as a home office. Presented in excellent order throughout, the property is ideally suited as a permanent family home, an idyllic holiday retreat, or an investment opportunity within the thriving self-catering or long-term rental market.
