The current owners have carried out significant improvements, including opening up the kitchen and smaller sitting room to create a wonderful modern kitchen living area with a wood burner. The bathrooms have been renovated and the property has been redecorated throughout. Eastertown offers a versatile layout that can be adapted to suit a variety of lifestyles.

Garden
Set within approximately two acres, Eastertown enjoys a wonderfully private and picturesque setting. The garden wraps around the house and are predominantly laid to lawn, complemented by a charming small woodland with mature trees and a delightful patio area, ideal for outdoor entertaining and relaxation.

In addition there is a wooden ‘A’ frame chalet in the grounds that is currently used as a studio that has the potential to be used as a holiday let (subject to the necessary planning and licences). Parking for several vehicles is available on a gravelled drive to the side of the house.
