4 bedroom cottage

Lower Corndon Cottage and Corrindon Cottage are a single property set on a former farmyard which is grassed and laid out as an informal garden. They both enjoy views to the nearby moor. Lower Corndon Cottage is a charming 600 year old granite home with a spacious and recently refitted kitchen/dining room, a downstairs bathroom and a spacious sitting room with a big open fireplace. Corrindon Cottage is a conversion of a granite barn to a two bedroom home and it has been let, holiday let and lived in by the owners at various times. The yard at the front is enclosed and safe and behind Corrindon is a more formal garden. The range of barns have considerable potential, subject to planning, and there could be substantially more residential accommodation incorporating the barns and Corrindon Cottage. Fowlers strongly recommend viewing.
