Description - A stunning and sympathetically restored 3 bedroom cottage and an adjoining 1 bedroom annnexe, with great eco credentials in an idyllic rural setting with no immediate residential neighbours.

Accommodation - Throughout the property, great care and attention to detail has been taken whilst restoring the cottages to now offer a comfortable family home in a truly special location seamlessly merging rustic charm with modern elegance. Comprising a 3 bedroom cottage with a 1 bedroom annexe, the property ideally suits extended families, an independent/dependent relative or those looking to derive an income stream.
The main 3 bedroom cottage has an open plan kitchen diner with a door and windows overlooking the rear garden. The use of Italian sandstone and solid oak throughout the kitchen/diner offers a quality finish, with a fitted range of modern day appliances including a dishwasher, fridge, freezer, freestanding electric cooker with gas hob, and has a space to one end for a dining table and chairs. There is a generous utility to the far end with a side access and a fitted range of base units, worktops, a washing machine with separate tumble dryer, loft storage above and a separate ground floor wc. The sitting room has a contemporary woodburning stove and windows that overlook the front, with the oak staircase to one end. The first floor offers 3 bedrooms in total with the principle bedroom benefiting from a stylish en-suite shower room. The family bathroom follows the same style as the ensuite, with the addition of a freestanding bath separate to the walk in shower.
The adjoining 1 bedroom annexe is completely self contained, yet follows the same style as the main cottage. A similar fitted kitchen has an integrated fridge/freezer with a washing machine/tumble dryer, an electric cooker with gas hob and feature exposed stonework to one end.
