DESCRIPTION
This traditional stone cottage dates from circa. 1910 and had a later extension added to the rear many years ago. The sun porch at the front and dormer windows added to the upper floor make this a deceptively spacious cottage style property. Over the last few years ‘Flowerdale’ has been undergoing an upgrading programme and works completed/ongoing to date include re-wiring, the treatment for wood preservation and damp proof course, the fitting of new timber double glazed windows, the installation of a gas central heating system with combi-style boiler, new plumbing and drainage works and a new kitchen. The accommodation within comprises sun porch, hallway, 2 public rooms, kitchen, bathroom, shower room and rear porch on the ground floor. The upper floor has a spacious landing area with 2 double size bedrooms off. The subjects occupy a roadside location with private off road parking area at side of house.
