The property dates back to circa. 1900s and was previously the village post office and family home. ‘Drumaine’ has been tastefully upgraded and restored and now combines traditional features with the very best of modern taste and design. Over recent years the property has been completely refurbished, improvement works include the installation of an oil fired central heating system, UPVC double glazed windows and doors, rewiring, new kitchen, bathroom & shower room and a high level of decoration throughout. In the last two months damp proofing has been carried out, the chimney’s have been re-lined and slates on the roof have been re-placed. Set in ¾ acre or thereby (to be confirmed with title plan) of garden ground the property also benefits from a very neat and well maintained exterior.
