Set in an idyllic rural setting, these former farm cottages and piggeries have been completely re-built to exacting standards, creating an excellent house and separate annexe/home office space.

There are exposed local stone walls, whitewashed wooden ceilings, wood burning stoves and hard wood double glazed windows. Externally, local stone elevations sit under a clay tile pitched roof with wrought iron rain water gutters and downpipes.
The main house has accommodation on two floors, connected by a wrought iron staircase with hard wood treads, leading off the large open plan kitchen/breakfast room. The kitchen has sleek modern storage units and a central island all with fitted appliances.
