The accommodation at present provides a fabulous dual aspect living room, a separate sitting room with open fire place, kitchen with separate utility and WC. Upstairs are four bedrooms and a family bathroom which has been recently modernised and redecorated. The property benefits from an adjoining outbuilding which used to house an old forge and is currently being used as a workshop but has the potential to create a stunning open plan kitchen/dining/living room with vaulted ceilings and doors out to the rear gardens (Subject to the necessary consents).

The property enjoys ample off street parking and large private gardens with a one bedroom guest bedroom with ensuite nestling in the top corner.
