Description

A truly charming Grade II Listed detached country cottage, beautifully positioned within a peaceful rural hamlet and set within approximately an acre of established gardens, paddock and grounds, with wonderful far-reaching views across the Inny Valley.

The accommodation briefly comprises a welcoming living room, second reception room, kitchen / diner, utility room and bathroom, with three bedrooms and a further family bathroom on the first floor.

A particular feature is the detached stone-built studio, which has been tastefully converted and offers a wonderfully versatile space for use as a home office, studio, guest accommodation or potentially an annexe, subject to the necessary consents.

Outside, the property is surrounded by beautifully established wraparound gardens, thoughtfully landscaped with mature planting, lawns and numerous seating areas. There is an east-facing patio, wraparound decking and charming rear courtyard, providing plenty of spaces to relax and enjoy the tranquil surroundings.

Beyond the main gardens lies a generous paddock-style area and productive orchard with fruit and specimen trees, all enjoying stunning countryside views. The grounds also benefit from a productive polytunnel, well-sized workshops, powered two-bay mower shed and log store.

Offering a wonderful combination of period charm, privacy, space and versatility, this delightful country home provides an idyllic rural lifestyle in a truly peaceful setting, with the added benefit of being offered for sale with no onward chain.
