PROPERTY

Set high and well back from the road this stunning Limestone cottage was built in 1834 by the 7th Duke of Bedford and is packed full of its original features throughout. The front entrance opens into a spacious study area with tiled flooring, a useful storage cupboard as well as a staircase leading to the first floor. This leads through to the kitchen which overlooks the enclosed back garden and includes the original Belfast sink, solid oak worktops, rangemaster oven, underfloor heating and space for various appliances. The dining room has been extended by the current owner to an impressive 18ft in length and features a vaulted ceiling with exposed oak beams, the original stone wall, reclaimed Spanish terracotta tiles and French doors which open to the rear garden. A cosy sitting room is accessible through both the study and dining room and completes the ground floor accommodation. The spacious living area includes the original fireplace with a fully-functional log burning stove providing a focal point for the room.

On the first floor the landing leads to three well-proportioned double bedrooms which all include vaulted ceilings giving the feeling of space and character. The master bedroom comprises of an exposed beam and the original fireplace with ample built-in storage either side. The second bedroom has great views of the backgarden and stone outbuildings and also has an exposed beam whilst the third bedroom hosts a floor-to-ceiling built in cupboard. The beautiful four piece victorian-style family bathroom has been recently refurbished and includes the original cast iron bath as well as a separate shower cubicle.

Outside there is a large rear garden which is split into two areas. Directly behind the property there is a paved patio area offering a good degree of privacy. Steps lead to a sheltered area which offers a fantastic entertaining space. There are also two original outbuildings either side of the garden, one with a useful working outside toilet and the other being used as storage space which also provides electricity to the outside shelter entertaining area. The shelter also houses a fully operational log burner for those chilly evenings. A shared driveway separates the two gardens and leads to off road parking for approximately two vehicles and log storage under the car port. Beyond the driveway there is a substantial sized garden home to a recently-purchased shed, a picturesque summerhouse and established trees.
