Each part of the property offers an insight to the history of this warm and inviting home, of special interest are the front, stone mullioned windows with ancient inscriptions and white witch runes.
The rear has been extended to create a comfortable dining area with a view to the rear garden and a modern kitchen with lots of storage and worktop space. To the side of this is also a modernised utility area with the benefit of a downstairs WC, all designed to complement the character of the property.
Approach
Set on Lower Street, the property is accessed up a couple of steps to the external door which opens to the reception cubicle.
Living Space
Your enter to the inner porch which provides a barrier between the pavement and the large sitting room.
Once you enter the main living space, you are drawn to the impressive fireplace, catching a glimpse of the dining area which opens to the garden at the rear and then you notice the front stone mullioned windows. We would suggest you take a closer look at these talking points of interest.
