Description
An attractive detached period stone house, beautifully complemented by a self-contained annexe, private land and a valuable grazing licence for the moors.

The main house is arranged with pleasing symmetry around a central stone-flagged reception hall, from which two elegant reception rooms lead. The sitting room is a warm and inviting space, centred around a log burner set within a characterful stone and brick fireplace and flanked by bespoke shelving.

To the rear, the impressive open-plan kitchen and dining room forms the true heart of the home. Thoughtfully designed, it features quality painted cabinetry, a traditional Aga range cooker, granite work surfaces and a double butler sink. A striking fully glazed elevation floods the space with natural light and frames lovely garden views, while doors open directly onto the courtyard, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.

A beautifully appointed family bathroom, complete with a freestanding double-ended bath, serves four further well-proportioned bedrooms, two of which are located on the second floor, together with a useful storage cupboard.

The detached annexe is a particularly appealing feature, lending itself perfectly to multi-generational living, guest accommodation or potential holiday letting. Converted from a traditional barn, it retains a wealth of rustic charm including stone-flagged floors, exposed timbers and stonework, along with the benefit of an external stone staircase. The kitchen/dining room is fitted with tasteful cabinetry and features a recessed range cooker, which also provides a welcoming source of heat. Two sets of glazed windows and an entrance door allow for excellent natural light. The ground-floor bedroom enjoys its own private entrance, an impressive open apex ceiling and a fully tiled wet room. Upstairs, a cosy sitting room opens onto the external stone steps.

Outside, a gravelled courtyard provides ample parking for both dwellings and offers attractive seating areas, alongside convenient access to a designated utility room and external store. A substantial barn with workshop facilities offers versatile additional space, while beyond a stone wall a charming shepherd’s hut sits privately within its own garden area.

The grounds extend to approximately 0.68 acres and comprise grassland, mature trees and a greenhouse, creating a peaceful and picturesque setting that perfectly complements this highly desirable country property.
