Set in a picturesque hamlet within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this detached granite cottage blends period character with practical modern upgrades. Exposed beams, a granite fireplace and a cloam oven create authentic charm, while bespoke oak kitchen units, integrated appliances and ultrafast fibre bring everyday convenience. The property sits on a very large plot with tiered gardens, multiple seating areas and a substantial double cartshed/garage with carport.
The layout suits family life or a countryside retreat: three double bedrooms and a separate cottage-style bathroom upstairs, with a ground-floor study and utility room for flexible living or home-working. Double glazing (installed since 2002) and electric storage heaters provide comfort, and mains electric with private borehole water keeps services straightforward. There is off-road parking and secure garage storage, plus external power points and a designed firepit area for outdoor entertaining.
Important practical points are disclosed plainly. The cottage’s original granite walls are assumed uninsulated and will benefit from improved thermal upgrading; heating is by oil-fired central boiler plus electric storage heaters, and the property uses a shared private septic tank. Mobile phone signal is reported as none in this location, and the cottage has a single bathroom which may affect larger families. Access involves rural lanes, cattle grids and fords — appealing to buyers seeking remoteness but less suitable for those needing frequent town access.
Overall, this is an attractive, well-finished period home offering character, generous outdoor space and modern connectivity in a secluded moorland setting. It will particularly suit buyers prioritising privacy, countryside lifestyle or those wanting a home with flexible workspace and garage facilities, while buyers should factor in insulation and heating improvements and the realities of a remote rural location.
