Ingles
Ingles is a detached unlisted house built around 1750. It was originally 2 cottages and thought to have been converted in the 1960’s into one dwelling. Today the property retains much of the charm and character including beams, latch doors, inglenook fireplaces and some quarry tiled flooring. To the front there is an entrance hall with stairs to the first floor and cloakroom. This opens into the charming galley kitchen with part vaulted beamed ceiling, catslide roof, stable door and 2nd set of stairs. The kitchen is fitted with a range of bespoke painted kitchen units with wood worksurfaces and an electric Aga. There is space for a washing machine and fridge/freezer. The sitting/dining room is a generous space with matching inglenook fireplaces, one with a wood burning stove and the other an open fireplace. Both enjoy bay windows overlooking the rear garden and there is a door inbetween the rooms leading to the patio area.
Upstairs you have a choice to 2 staircases leading to the 3 double bedrooms. The master bedroom has a wonderful bay window from which you can enjoy magnificent far reaching views. It also benefits from 2 double wardrobes. The are 2 further double bedrooms both with built in wardrobes and views from their windows. The family bathroom is a generous size and comprises a modern bath, shower cubicle, w/c and wash basin. There is also a useful attic for storage and 2 lofts.
The property has been well maintained by the current owners to include a new flat roof, repainted weatherboarding and new boards where required and the beams have been treated for woodworm.
