DESCRIPTION
Kennedy’s Corner provides an attractive lifestyle property in peaceful rural location. With a range of outbuildings, kennels, log cabin and outside space, the property offers an attractive package to any potential purchaser. The property offers deceptively spacious accommodation over two floors with the living room providing the central hub of the home, offering the wood burning stove, double sliding doors opening to the Dining Room and double doors opening to the patio area. The Master bedroom on the first floor offers an extensive space, with en suite. The cottage benefits from modern Kyros electric smart heating (which can be controlled from a smart device), double glazing, modern CCTV secure system, wood burning stove and all windows and doors in the property were replaced in the summer of 2017. The new purchaser may re-configure the layout to provide a more open plan kitchen/dining space which is perhaps more of appeal to modern day living, something which could be achieved subject to obtaining relevant permissions. The log cabin in the grounds provides additional flexible entertaining/hosting space, lending perfectly to a hobby space, relaxing area, home gym or home office. The paddock opposite offers further space which could be adapted to suit the buyers needs for example market garden, poly tunnels, hen/duck enclosure, small grazing space etc.
