DESCRIPTION
This charming extended cottage comes with a most interesting history as it is understood to have originally been built as a ‘Bull Pen’ back in the 1700s. The strong stone walls still remain but the property was extended and refurbished in the 1970s to form a small home. In recent years the cottage has been totally upgraded and transformed and provides a very comfortable home with modern fittings and fixtures. ‘The Bull Pen’ benefits from Upvc double glazed windows and doors, an electric off peak heating system, newly fitted shower room, newly installed kitchen with appliances and light modern interior decoration. The accommodation within comprises entrance vestibule, sitting/dining room, 2 bedrooms, shower room and kitchen. The pretty garden area surrounding the house is fully enclosed and there is a spacious gravel parking area to the side.
