Accommodation

The house dates back to the Victorian era and is constructed of stone under a slate roof. Entering via the front door you enter a spacious hallway with stairs to the first floor and doors off to the main living areas. There are two reception rooms, each with solid fuel stoves and windows with wide ranging views. The kitchen has modern fitted wall and floor units and includes a 1.5 bowl sink, integrated electric double oven and lpg gas four burner hob.

The stairs lead to a landing which has space for a home office, if required. There are three double bedrooms, one of which has integrated wardrobes. Two have decorative fireplaces and stunning views.

The property is in good decorative order throughout and was rewired around 10 years ago. It has oil central heating, with one of the solid fuel stoves being linked to the heating system via an Equaliser, thus reducing the amount of oil used. There are solar panels on the roof, subject to Feed-in-Tariff, providing electricity to the house, with any surplus being exported to the Grid. Mains water and electricity are connected and the property has the benefit of fibre broadband.

Outside

The property has a wrap around garden with lawn to the front and a patio area, vegetable garden and polytunnel to the rear. The oil tank is tucked away to the side of the house.

There is a single storey stone and slate barn which has been completely refurbished by the current owners, including a new roof in 2022. It offers very good dry storage and workshop space, but would be suitable for alternative uses subject to any necessary consents. There is a yard area and off road parking the front of the house and building, which concludes the immediate environs of the built property.

The property is approached via an unmade shared access, which is largely maintained by property owners on the route and the forestry company.
