This is a very adaptableproperty that would suit anyone. Thought to be over 300 yearsold, it would originally have been two cottages and still hastwo staircases, adding versatility to the layout. The owner hasrenovated it top to bottom, with underfloor heating and othertouches of luxury, while retaining all the character. “I’ve kept itvery neutral so the features take centre stage,” she explains. Hadshe been able to stay longer, she would have looked to add agarden room to make the most of the lovely surroundings, sothis is something the new owners might want to consider.Welcoming ThroughoutYou enter the house through a porch that leads you into agenerous sitting room with a gorgeous fireplace, where the logburner sends heat through the house, even in the depths ofwinter, keeping it cosy. The room also has double doors leadingonto the garden for those lazy summer days. There’s a formaldining room that’s equally appealing and the owner has createda lovely study or snug area where you can tuck yourself away:“When I’m at my desk here, the time just flies past and I losemyself in whatever I’m doing,” she smiles. The refitted kitchenbenefits from a breakfast bar where you can sit for weekendbreakfasts reading the paper, or catch up with friends over acoffee. Upstairs, the larger first-floor bedrooms can be accessedeither up two separate staircases or by a connecting door,making it a very useful set up for families with young children.Country Living At Its BestWhile the owner finds her home something of a haven, shealso loves to entertain friends and family here, on one occasionputting up a marquee in the garden for a big party. “It’s lovelybecause you don’t have any neighbours to disturb!” She has putup stock fencing all around the border, with electric gates onthe drive. This has the advantage of keeping children, livestockor pets secure, while also keeping your plants safe from rabbitsand deer! You can watch the wildlife in the fields around to your

heart’s content and the owner has an owl, a woodpecker and all breeds of birdcome into the garden.
