Situated in a quiet country lane, within the Glyn Valley, the spacious, detached, four-bedroom, extended stone property combines a charming cottage with contemporary, light-and-airy reception rooms. Its grounds, which total approximately 2.06 acres, include gently sloping lawn, a vegetable plot, an established small orchard and two entertaining terraces overlooking the garden and uninterrupted open countryside. For horse owners, there are two stock-proof paddocks, one of them containing two field shelters, plus a stable yard with four loose boxes, a tack room and a hay store. In front of the stable yard there is a parking area with space for up to five vehicles. Step inside – Wooden pedestrian gates set in a lovely old stone wall open from the little-used country lane into a pretty gravelled courtyard. The property is entered though a glazed wooden porch with Mandarin Stone slate floor tiles. An inner door opens to a reception hallway, an attractive room with engineered oak flooring. It is double height in part, with a small gallery landing above. To one side of this hallway is the oldest part of the house, the original stone cottage which is believed to be in excess of two hundred years old. Here is the spacious kitchen, a room with characterful ceiling beams, an exposed stone wall, an open stone fireplace (now housing a kitchen cupboard) and an abundance of charm. The Shaker-style kitchen units have oak work surfaces and the floor is tiled with Mandarin Stone multi-coloured slate. There is a double Butler sink with a plate rack over, a Rangemaster cooker, a built-in fridge and space for a dishwasher. Next to the main window there is a deep window seat with plenty of space for a breakfast table.

The bathroom, like the pretty bedroom next door, is located in the older part of the house. Both feature the exposed A-frame and both still have old ledge and brace doors with original ironwork. Elsewhere in the property, modern ledge and brace doors have been matched up. Step Outside – The peaceful gardens and uninterrupted rural views are a real feature of this property. So, too, are the equestrian facilities and excellent outriding. The gardens to the side and rear of the property are mainly laid to lawn, with flower borders and established shrubs.

For grow-your-own enthusiasts, there is a small fenced orchard with apple, cherry and plum trees, a vegetable plot with raised beds and, alongside the stables, a fruit garden with an assortment of fruit bushes and further raised growing beds. The garden also contains a greenhouse and a garden shed. Beyond the gardens is a large paddock with two field shelters.
