Extensions include a detached workshop and garage, built in 2018 and a sunroom with a feature lantern roof.
Split over two floors, the house's ground floor is accessed by a ‘charming glazed’ timber porch and tiled hallway.
Off the hall is the living room, dining room and kitchen area, which has an element of open plan.
The lounge has a cosy log burning stove in a feature fireplace and lets in plenty of light through the large cottage windows.
A sunroom overlooks the garden and opens out onto the patio.
On the first floor are all three bedrooms and a large family bath and shower room.
For extra privacy, the property is surrounded by mature private hedging and sandstone walling.
A private driveaway is also available with enough space for two cars.
The garden, which has a pond and planting space, is not overlooked by neighbouring buildings.
