LOWER Sconch Cottage is an attractive timber framed property dating back to the 1700s and being seamlessly extended in the 1970s. The cottage has been sympathetically refurbished throughout, using American oak joinery and doors complementing the original beams to provide a homely ambience. The sitting room in the original part of the cottage is home to a beamed partition and ceiling with a magnificent inglenook, featuring an original bread oven and wood burning stove. Steps lead from the reception hall to the breakfast room/kitchen with its oak style units and Rangemaster electric range. Integral appliances include a Bosch dishwasher and fridge. French doors lead into the conservatory with hardwood framing to the roof, timber flooring and further French doors opening onto a terrace overlooking the rear garden and countryside beyond. A utility room provides further exterior access and space for a washing machine, tumble dryer and fridge freezer. Off the first floor landing are the master bedroom with timber framed vaulted ceiling and built-in wardrobe plus two further bedrooms, one with an en suite shower room. The attractive family bathroom benefits from a Jacuzzi style bath with shower over.

The front garden is mainly laid to lawn with shaped borders sitting high above the stream which continues along the side of the rear garden featuring a substantial terrace with walling around and steps leading up to the main lawned area. There is an orchard comprising apple, pear and plum, all screened with ballerina trees. The paddock is home to a large timber outbuilding comprising a stable and tack room, with electricity and water. A single open garage is situated to the side of the cottage with a greenhouse to the rear.

Lower Sconch Cottage is a wonderful country residence taking full advantage of its beautiful secluded location.
