This charming two-storey property balances period character with modern comforts. Step through the front door into a welcoming hall with a reclaimed staircase. To your left, the lounge has authentic charm with sash windows, a wood burner in an inglenook fireplace, and vintage-style furnishings along with a Smart TV. The dining room is on the opposite side of the hallway, with another inglenook fireplace, a round dining table, and a velvet sofa for after-dinner drinks. At the end of the hall, there’s a compact yet well-equipped kitchen with shaker-style cabinets, a large range cooker, and a door leading to the rear courtyard. Upstairs, three restful bedrooms invite a blissful slumber. Choose between a king-size with a wrought-iron bed, a super-king-size room with versatile zip-and-link beds, and a cosy snug that can be made up as a single bedroom. The stunning family bathroom, with its free-standing copper bathtub and walk-in shower, is to the rear of the first floor.

A small private patio to the rear with a bistro table and chairs offers a quiet spot to relax after a day’s adventures or to enjoy a morning coffee before heading into town. There’s no dedicated parking, but the road has no parking restrictions or permits in place.
