Renovated Stone Property on 5300m²
Land - nearly 1½ acres.
Three years ago this was 4 walls & part of a roof……. Today it is a beautifully renovated house. The current owners have not only designed the interior to utilise all the available space, but have also had the foresight to accommodate future additions/alterations if desired.
Nothing from the original building has gone to waste. Garden features have been created from the ancient holly trees that once enveloped the house. Original flooring has been salvaged to create cupboard doors & re-laid to define the kitchen from the dining area. Exposed stone walls & beams add to the character throughout.
The property is located on the edge of a hamlet on a no through road & is approached via a gravelled driveway with landscaped garden to the front.
The property can be entered via the kitchen/dining room or the converted barn, both to the front of the house.
