The house was built
approximately 50 years ago and has 50 centimetre thick walls. The window
and door surrounds are stone and the windows are wooden framed. The
house is set over two floors, though the living accommodation is
situated on the first floor. The property briefly comprises:
Ground Floor:
There are two rooms to the ground floor, both of which have an exterior
access door. The walls to these rooms are stone and the floor is dirt.
These rooms have traditionally been used for storage, though could be
converted into additional living accommodation quite easily.
First Floor:
There are two exterior access doors to the first floor living
accommodation, located at either end of the house. These doors are
accessed via exterior stone staircases. The main entrance to the cottage
is located to the north side of the house and leads into a central
hallway, which has a wooden floor and ceiling.
Off this central
hallway, which runs the length of the house, there are three bedrooms,
all of which have wooden floors and ceilings and internal wooden
shutters. There is a partially tiled bathroom which has a shower,
toilet, bidet, pedestal sink and wall mounted water heater. The kitchen
is also accessed off the hallway and has a large, traditional fireplace
to one corner as well as double aspect 'Marquise' style windows.

out to an exterior stone staircase at the south side of the house. The

shutters.
The house is situated on
a roadside, though this road is used only for local traffic. The house
has around 750 square metres of land is situated to the side and rear of
