Homestead offers an exquisite blend of historic charm and modern convenience. Originally two cottages dating back to around 1790, the property was expanded into a farmhouse in the mid-1800s. Recently extensively renovated the current owners have retained its character with exposed beams, stonework, and carefully preserved slate and wooden flooring.
The ground floor's well-proportioned layout welcomes you with an entrance hallway and practical boot room featuring a separate WC. A cosy living room with a striking fireplace and log burner, a refined dining room with its own unique stone fireplace and stone steps to the upper floor, and a music room/library perfect for relaxation and which creates an inviting ambiance. The galley-style kitchen, complete with slate worktops, slate flooring, and a butler sink, balances rustic elegance with functionality. This floor also includes a utility-style room, a w/c/shower room, and a garden room with access to both the courtyard garden and steps to the rear raised walled garden.
Upstairs, the master suite provides a tranquil retreat with a spacious en-suite walk-in shower room, with underfloor heating, complemented by two additional double bedrooms and a small double room currently serving as an office with direct garden access. A tastefully designed family bathroom featuring a separate bathtub and shower, complete also with underfloor heating, adds a touch of luxury. New traditional double-glazed, leaded light windows, traditional-style radiators and brass switches/sockets plus high-quality finishes throughout the property, all add to the comfort and elegance.
The exterior of Homestead is equally captivating, with a side courtyard garden and upper rear private garden enclosed by character-rich stone walls. This serene space features a charming pond and decked area, leading to a detached garage equipped with electricity. At the rear of the property is a utility area for gas and bin storage. The private driveway offers ample parking for multiple vehicles, enhancing convenience.
