The details

The character is quite evident as soon as you walk through the half glazed door into the entrance porch with a glazed panel to the side overlooking the garden, then through a wide half glazed door into the hallway, with stairs rising to the first floor and a door into the sitting room. This delightful room features a brick fireplace with a wooden timber lintel, housing a wood burner, making a superb focal point, especially on those chilly wintery days, to one side of which is recessed shelving. A door leads into the spacious kitchen/dining room. The dining area houses a large feature fireplace with a high display shelf over, inset with an oil fired Rayburn range, which heats the hot water and two radiators. An understairs cupboard offers useful storage and a door with a stain glass panel leads to the side porch. The dining room has ample room for a sizeable table and chairs making a delightful area to entertain family and friends. The kitchen is fitted with cream fronted wall and base units with wooden worktops over incorporating a ceramic sink with mixer tap above. There is a built-in electric oven with electric hob and extractor over and spaces for a washing machine and fridge. Steps lead up to the delightful garden room with ample windows, sky lights and double doors leading out onto a paved patio. The side porch offers space for coats and shoes, with plenty of room for a further fridge and freezer.

On the first floor the principal bedroom, filled with natural light from a wide window to the front is fitted with a wide range of built in storage. Beside the bed is a further storage cupboard with attractive recessed shelving and display alcove above. There is a second good sized bedroom and completing the accommodation is the family bathroom, accessed through a dressing room with half-height panelling and a window overlooking the garden. The bathroom is fitted with a corner spa-bath, a separate walk-in shower cubicle, hand basin and w.c.

Outside, the front garden is enclosed by a stone wall and is mainly laid with cobbles. A wooden gate gives access to a gravelled parking area, leading to the small, detached barn/workshop with power and light connected and houses a Belfast sink and the oil storage tank. There is a stone-built log store with light and a garage, again fitted with power and light. The private rear garden is a gardener’s paradise, laid mainly to lawn with borders planted with an array of mature shrubs and ornamental trees interspersed to create depth, colour and interest in this delightful haven.
