The Property

Portland House is an attractive stone cottage situated in a prime village position enjoying fabulous views out over the fields. The property is well-presented with simple, tasteful décor in appealing neutral colour palettes and is ready to move straight into.

The entrance hallway leads through into the sitting room. This is a light, bright room with wooden flooring and a woodburning stove on a flagstone hearth in the corner. A glass panelled door opens into the well-equipped kitchen with ample space for dining table and chairs and a door leading out to the rear yard.

The stairs rise up from the hallway to a landing and the bedroom accommodation. The principal bedroom has a dressing area and views over the village, whilst the second bedroom is to the rear of the house, along with the bathroom with suite comprising bath with shower over, wash hand basin and WC.

Externally

To the front, the cottage is accessed via paved stone steps, running alongside a lawn and a raised patio seating area. To the rear of the house is a gravelled yard with wood shed and a large stone-built outbuilding, with additional access via a rear lane.

This outbuilding has recently been reroofed with slate, in keeping with the style and period of the property and it benefits from electricity, plumbing and water supply, and underfloor heating. It offers an excellent space for a variety of uses including a home office, utility room, workshop, studio or Airbnb.
