Property description

House

Ground floor

The front door opens directly into a very large living room (53 sq m) with tiled floor, exposed stone walls, exposed beam ceiling and a stone fireplace. To one corner a doorway opens to a small corridor. To the left is the kitchen (17 sq m) with tiled floor, wood-burning stove, exposed stone walls and exposed beam ceiling. To the other side of the corridor is a shower room (5 sq m - shower, washbasin, WC and electric hot water tank). To the right of the corridor a doorway opens to the covered terrace.

First floor

An open-tread wooden staircase rises from the corner of the living room to a large first floor sitting room (27 sq m) with exposed stone walls and a double-height ceiling with exposed beams. To the right a door opens to a bedroom (20 sq m) with exposed stone walls and exposed beam ceiling. To the far side of the first floor living room a doorway opens to a corridor, off which are a bedroom (17 sq m - exposed stone wall and exposed beam ceiling) and a bathroom (5 sq m - bath, washbasin and WC). To the end of the corridor a door opens to a large covered balcony overlooking the garden. To the side of this is a room (15 sq m - currently used as a bedroom).

Mezzanine

To one side of the first floor living room a wooden staircase rises to a mezzanine (about 25 sq m) with plenty space for additional beds.

Outbuildings

Running alongside the covered terrace are a couple of small stone outbuildings. To the end of the terrace is a small, two-storey outbuilding.

Garden

The property sits on a plot of 1049 sq m. To the front of the house is a large gravelled area - ideal for parking and outside dining (with the covered terrace just next to this). The remainder of the garden is mainly laid to lawn plenty of mature trees - giving the impression of a woodland glade.

This house is in a lovely setting on the edge of a small hamlet. With plenty of living space and good-size yet manageable garden, this would make a wonderful holiday home.
