Character cottage with barn, workshop and sweeping mountain views.
Extremely large detached bungalow on a very large plot
A spacious, characterful detached bungalow set on a very large plot with sweeping countryside and mountain views. The property mixes original features — exposed beams, inglenook fireplace and granite walls — with practical additions such as a conservatory, greenhouse and an attached workshop with a car lift. The detached stone barn with a crog loft gives tangible conversion potential for extra accommodation, studio or storage (subject to planning).
The ground floor provides flexible living: entrance hall with WC, cosy lounge into a bright conservatory, dining room with exposed beams, kitchen/breakfast room, family bathroom and a ground-floor double bedroom with garage access. Two further double bedrooms sit on the upper level, both with built-in wardrobes and outlooks across the valley. Ample off-street parking and generous lawns surround the house, offering room for family life and hobbies.
Practical drawbacks are clear and factual: the house was built before 1900 with granite walls that appear uninsulated, double glazing installed before 2002, and heating by electric storage heaters — all of which will affect energy efficiency and running costs. Broadband speeds are very slow; mobile signal is excellent. There is only one bathroom and the living areas show mid-century fittings that will suit some buyers but will need modernization for others.
This property will most appeal to families or buyers seeking rural space, character and workshop/barn potential who are willing to invest in energy upgrades and cosmetic updating. It offers privacy, views and scope to add value, but buyers should factor in renovation, insulation and connectivity works when assessing suitability.
