About a mile from Salwayash, along wooded lanes and bordered by rolling green fields, a detached stone-built farmhouse, peaceful and secluded.
Completely refurbished in 2015, modern comforts and technologies (heat generated by eco-friendly biomass system) complement original 19th century features (thick stone walls, beams, fireplace) to create a smart, spacious and welcoming home.
At the front, catching all-day sun, a wide paved terrace (picnic benches, barbecue) with lawn and pretty cottage garden looking over sheep-grazed fields beyond; behind the house, sitting above the tree-shaded lane, an enclosed lawned garden (table/chairs, children's climbing frame/swing, steps down to drive), a great spot for morning coffee and wildlife-watching (woodpeckers, buzzards and deer frequently seen).
Across the drive, an open-fronted garage (table tennis, storage for your beach gear, bicycles etc), behind which is the owners' holiday home (occasionally occupied).From the drive, a gentle slope (or steps) up to terrace and front door to entrance hall/boot room.
