Looking for a character cottage with a log burning stove, exposed timber beams and a private courtyard garden? This charming one bedroom home has a surprisingly spacious living room, a generous double bedroom and a traditional bathroom with a roll top bath.



This charming one bedroom cottage has plenty of character throughout, with exposed timber beams, a log burning stove, a spacious double bedroom and a courtyard garden to the rear.

The property opens directly into a surprisingly spacious living room, which has plenty of room for comfortable seating as well as a dining table and chairs. The main focal point is the substantial stone fireplace with a log burning stove, whilst exposed timber ceiling beams, deep window reveals and wooden detailing add to the cottage feel. There is also some useful fitted storage tucked into one corner of the room and under the open staircase.

To the rear is a separate kitchen, fitted with a range of cream wall and base units, wooden worktops and a traditional style range cooker and Belfast sink. There is space for a fridge freezer and plumbing for a washing machine, whilst a window overlooks the rear courtyard and an external door provides direct access outside.

The staircase rises from the living room directly into the spacious double bedroom, which occupies much of the first floor. With windows to both the front and rear, there is plenty of natural light, along with ample room for a large double bed, wardrobes and additional bedroom furniture. Exposed timber detailing and deep window reveals continue the character found downstairs.

Just off the bedroom is the house bathroom, which has a traditional feel with its freestanding roll top bath, shower over, wash basin, WC, heated towel rail and contrasting tiled finishes.

Externally, the property has a flagged courtyard garden to the rear, with attractive stone boundary walls and established planting. There is room for a small table and chairs, along with a useful timber storage shed.

NB: The property has previously been used as holiday accommodation and is currently registered for business rates. It has lawful residential use and was previously assessed for Council Tax under Band B. The seller will arrange for the property to return to Council Tax before exchange of contracts, with the final banding subject to confirmation by the Valuation Office Agency.
