It provides flexible accommodation over one and a half storeys. A porch leads into the hallway with stairs to the first floor. To the left is the kitchen and to the right the hallway gives access to the bathroom, two ground floor bedrooms, the sitting room and dining room. The sitting room is a particularly bright and appealing room which overlooks the garden, has a wood burning stove and also has an opening to the dining room. On the first floor, two attic bedrooms complete the accommodation. The property has mains water, private foul drainage, oil fired central heating on the ground floor and electric heating on the first floor.GARDENOutside, the house sits within a charming garden which includes areas of lawn, various plants and flowers, vegetable beds and mature trees. Also in the garden is a stone built bothy with a slate roof. Whilst the bothy has recently been used as a workshop and for storage, it has the potential to be converted into additional accommodation (subject to obtaining all necessary consents). Two lean-to sheds
