The House

Lovely old terraced stone cottage situated on a quiet sealed road , 2 miles from the local
town. It has been modernised and extended to include large open plan bespoke kitchen with bi-folding glass doors that open out onto a low maintenance garden . At the bottom of the garden there is a summer house with a woodburning stove and it’s a lovely place from which to sit and watch the wildlife that comes into the field behind us (including up to 13 deer) The kitchen includes a very comfortable seating area, smart television, and a dining area. We do love a bit of a kitchen disco and there’s a giant rotating mirrorball hanging in the kitchen complete with coloured lights.
There is a utility room with a large sink for washing, dirty boots, et cetera, and a washing machine and tumble dryer. The house is actually four bedrooms, but there are only two that we use as bedrooms the other two are used for storage and business. The lounge has an open fireplace , comfortable sofas and a cocktail trolley.
There is a super king bed in the main bedroom with a small ensuite and the second bedroom has a king size bed and a small ensuite
The family bathroom has a roll top bath
There is a large patio area at the front of the house which is south facing. There's another small summer house here and a large outdoor sofa seating area
The driveway has space for two cars
