Property
A five bedroom character property, formerly a chapel and schoolroom dating from around 1830. The original part of the cottage is timber framed with a clay lump extension and has been sympathetically converted whilst retaining the distinctive qualities of its former life. Of special note is the vaulted sitting room with the original floorboards, a wood burner and double doors onto the garden with field views beyond. The dining room also displays period features such as the floor bricks laid in a herringbone pattern and a brick chimney breast. The large and sunny kitchen is fitted with cream units, Corian works tops and a Chinese slate floor and is large enough for a good size breakfast table. Off the kitchen is a useful utility area with worktops and sink, the downstairs bathroom and office. A stable door gives access into the garden. Bedroom 5 is located downstairs and has double doors into the garden. Upstairs there are a further 4 bedrooms, 3 double and 1 single and a modern shower room with corner shower. The windows have been replaced in recent years with bespoke timber frames and are in keeping with the original style.
