From the hall a door leads through into the open kitchen area and on into the dining room. The kitchen has handmade kitchen units, with a granite worktop, electric oven and hob, a double Belfast sink, a wood-fired Rayburn and a traditional bread oven which is an original kitchen feature. Also in the kitchen there is a larder/pantry with light and shelving.
The opening in the kitchen leads through to the dining area, which could also be used as a further living room, with a vaulted ceiling, windows to the rear and both sides and a set of double doors leading out to the terrace. This is a delightfully light and airy space with the main windows facing towards the southern aspect. From the dining room a door leads to a rear porch giving access to a downstairs w.c and utility room.
The staircase at the front of the house leads to the first floor landing which gives access to all three bedrooms which are considered double in proportion. The main bedroom also benefits from cupboard storage and windows to the front and rear aspect.
The family bathroom has a panel bath, wash-hand basin, low flush w.c and a corner shower cubicle.
Outside - The property is approached along a private driveway over which the owner of Bedwhir has a right of way providing access to the property. To the front of the cottage there is ample parking and space to turn.
The property sits centrally within the garden area. To the northern side there is a productive vegetable garden with raised beds and the main cottage garden has a variety of trees and shrubs with a further fence leading down to a lower garden which is interspersed with trees and shrubs.
From the driveway there is access leading to the land with a gently sloping southerly aspect and a pond can be found to the north of the main paddock.
Either side of the house there are 2 outbuildings. The first building, to the south, also has a lean-to area (6m x
3.13m). The main part of the building (11.44m x 6.10m) is of stone, brick and timber construction with a concrete floor, power and lighting. There is also a second lean-to, currently used as a wood and fuel store (9.41m x 4.66m) with a hardcore floor, power sockets and lighting. Both lean-to areas are open-fronted.
To the north of the driveway there is a further traditional outbuilding of stone and timber construction (approx. 15m x 4.8m). The building features 3 distinct areas with modern mezzanine storage above one area and a separate lean-to to the side.
