4 bedrooms, family bathroom and en suite shower. Lobby, sitting room, dining area,

The Property
This charming former Gighouse is Grade II Listed and dates from c1830. It is of coursed, squared limestone construction with an ashlar plinth. There are many period features including a number of fireplaces, exposed timbers and original floorboards on the upper floors. It has been improved and well maintained by the current owners, with the external joinery having just been repainted. The large garage is perhaps best suited for a classic car, or presumably could be incorporated into the living accommodation, subject to obtaining the necessary Listed building consent.

There is a door to the courtyard and steps down to the utility area with a double under-mounted sink and space for the washing machine.
