Just moments from the iconic Church Cove and surrounded by beautiful countryside, scenic walks and popular Halzephron Inn, this charming property perfectly blends period character with modern convenience.

The property itself is brimming with historic charm and original features, including traditional Nordic panelling dating back to the 17th century and an extraordinary walk-in inglenook fireplace that sets a warm and welcoming tone. Inside, the home offers an impressive amount of space, with a wonderfully open plan living area that seamlessly combines the kitchen, dining, and sitting areas – ideal for family life and entertaining.

In addition, there’s a spacious separate lounge, a bright sunroom, a conservatory that looks out over the gardens, and a practical utility room.
