Exposed beams, thick stone walls, and solid wood internal doors add a sense of heritage and warmth, while oil central heating ensures year-round comfort. The inviting ambiance creates a cosy yet refined living space, blending timeless elegance with modern practicality.
The property offers two convenient entry points: the front door, sheltered beneath a storm porch within the courtyard, and the back porch, which leads directly to the parking area. The rear porch is generously sized, providing ample space for coats and shoes, and also houses the boiler. Both entrances open into a spacious hallway, currently utilised as an office space. This welcoming area features attractive tiled flooring and a charming alcove, adding to the home’s character.
To the right, you’ll find the bright and airy kitchen/diner-the true heart of the home, exuding countryside charm. The elegant tiled flooring extends into this inviting space, which features stunning slate worktops, a classic Belfast sink, an AGA, and an electric hob.

A door with a slate threshold leads to the Downstairs Shower Room, complete with a shower, WC, Belfast wash basin, built-in storage, and underfloor heating, conveniently set on a timer system for added comfort.
Completing the ground floor is the conservatory, featuring underfloor heating and double-glazed windows and the cosy sitting room which is rich in character with exposed wooden beams, thick stone walls, built-in bookcases and a stunning wood burner, complete with a traditional bread oven creates a warming focal point.
A spiral staircase rises to the three well-sized bedrooms each boast their own unique character features and enjoy charming views over the rear garden.
