GREEN CROSS COTTAGE

Originally a shepherd's cottage for Green Cross Farm, which is believed to date back to the 19th century, the cottage has been in the same family since 1958. This charming cottage has now been sympathetically renovated to a high specification including extension and refurbishment. This includes, new roof, plumbing, boiler, wiring and new insulation. Also, new wooden framed double-glazed windows and secondary glazing to the front where the original character windows have been reconditioned.

Upon entering the cottage, off the entrance hall to the left is the downstairs second bedroom, which is a good sized double bedroom with underfloor heating. Opposite this room a door leads into the cosy sitting room, which is double aspect with a new wood burning stove. From the hallway and linking into the sitting room is the superb kitchen and dining room. This features a new solid wood kitchen with quartz worktops, Lacanche gas range oven and built in appliances. There is limestone flooring throughout the kitchen, hallway and boot
room with underfloor heating. Off the kitchen is the boot room with back door into the garden and a downstairs shower room and WC. The property features beautiful hand built storage and joinery throughout.

On the first floor is the main bedroom and a bathroom opposite with underfloor heating and eave storage.

DUTCH BARN

To the north of the cottage, across the garden, is the refurbished attached Dutch Barn which provides a fully insulated farm office, heated with comms and electrics installed. There is a lobby with staircase to a large first floor mezzanine, which has planning for a store with restroom and shower. The main roof has been insulated to residential standard. There is also space for a large workshop, under cover parking for tractors/machinery and a hay and feed store. The barn has been fully cladded outside under a tin roof. Internally, most of the first fix has been done and the property is offered with potential for a purchaser to finish the barn as they wish. This would provide an ideal space for someone to run an agricultural based farm business from home. There is separate access to the barn via a gravel driveway to the lane across which the property benefits from a right of way.

OUTSIDE

The cottage is set within a generous garden. It has its own separate access and parking. To the rear is an attractive terrace, leading onto a large area of lawn, at the end of which the Dutch Barn is located. Next
to the cottage is the scullery, a small building which has also been refurbished and now houses the utility room with a washer/dryer, freezer and built-in units.

Located just over the lane from the cottage and with direct road access, is approximately 7.96 acres of permanent pasture. The land is split over two parcels with a track running between them which have been newly fenced for sheep. Both have mains water supply. The land slopes gently down towards the track on both sides and provides ideal land for grazing, or for diversification opportunities such as fruit or flower growing, or glamping.

In all about 7.96 acres (3.22 hectares)
