Originally built circa mid 19th century, this fabulous property has been beautifully renovated to an extremely high standard by the current owner over the past 5 years leaving no stone left un-turned while retaining many character features. Having more or less every detail either renewed or upgraded from what was previously a very tired and dated house this stunning dwelling has had a complete overhaul from the central heating to the kitchen and from the windows and doors to the electrics and roof. The quality certainly does not finish inside with Wetmore offering parking for numerous vehicles, a triple bay out-building/garage/workshop (9m W x 5.5m L) and a detached studio/office (4.1m W x 2.9m L) with both fitted with power and lighting. Worthy of particular note, the beautiful south-west facing gardens are largely laid to lawn and wild, while there is a patio area directly outside the cottage, as well as a suspended and elevated decked seating area found at the top of the garden which overlooks the entire property and surrounding countryside. Under the canopy of an oak tree this is the perfect spot to unwind on a warm summers evening.

The living room is a light and airy space offering duel aspects to the front and rear and includes a feature wood-burning stove, double doors opening out the patio area and stairs rising to the first floor accommodation. Another door leads into the useful utility, which accesses the study, the downstairs W.C and outside to the patio. On the first floor, a landing area gives way to the 2 double bedrooms and the bathroom. The choice for the principle bedroom is yours!
