The current owners have thoughtfully renovated the property, with updates including: a new bathroom; an updated kitchen; new carpets on the staircase and fist floor; cellar replastered in lime; new radiators; and a partial rewire with a new electrical consumer unit.
In brief, the ground floor accommodation comprises, a kitchen/diner, middle hallway, living room, rear hallway, staircase descending to the cellar, and a staircase rising to the first floor. To the basement is a cellar, and to the first floor are the property’s three bedrooms (two double) and family bathroom.

The outside space is hugely impressive, with a spacious South-facing rear garden that captures incredible views of the rolling hillsides to the South. The garden is thoughtfully laid out in three distinct areas, bordered by high-level fencing to the East and South and a traditional dry stone wall to the West. The first area features a raised deck, accessed directly from the living room via uPVC doors, providing a generous space for outdoor furniture and potted plants. This decked terrace is perfectly positioned to soak up the sun and enjoy the panoramic countryside views, and is equipped with an outdoor power socket for added convenience. Wooden steps lead down to the second area, a lush lawn dissected by a meandering gravel pathway, with colourful planted borders and mature shrubs, ideal for children and pets to play or for keen gardeners to enjoy. An outside tap is also provided in this section. At the bottom of the garden, stone steps descend to a generous gravelled area, offering further space for outdoor dining or relaxing, alongside a stone-built outbuilding (measuring 2.97m by 2.80m) that provides excellent storage or workshop potential. This garden is a true highlight of the property, offering both privacy and spectacular views, making it an outstanding setting for family life, entertaining, or simply unwinding in nature.
