About
A beautifully kept 2 bedroomed barn conversion, set in a quiet rural location with beautiful landscaped gardens, extending to just under 150ft long adjoining open fields to the south, including a home office and large workshop.
September Cottage is believed to have origins linked with its neighbour dating back to the 16th Century, having once formed a traditional barn having been rebuilt circa 1800.
The adjoining house was once the gardeners cottage for the dominant farm for the area Weylands, set at the entrance to the lane.
The wall opposite September cottage is the original wall of the farms kitchen garden.
The property has a lovely feel throughout and is a much cherished home having a wealth of charm and raw character although also benefitting from double glazed timber windows.
The reception room has a beautiful refurbished inglenook fireplace with exposed stone work and fitted villager multi-fuel stove, door out to the front.
The kitchen/breakfast room sits to the side of the reception room, with a shaker style kitchen area with tiled floor, woodblock work surfaces and Belfast sink along with integrated fridge, freezer and dishwasher, there is ample space for a breakfast table and stair cupboard to the first floor along with understairs cupboard.
Running across the back is a wonderful garden dining room with solid roof and a wonderful range of windows and doors, allowing the garden to be enjoyed and the light to flood in.
This provides access to a useful utility space and cloakroom. To the first floor 2 generously sized and well appointed bedrooms have lovely rural views.
