THE PROPERTY
The Cart House is a beautiful barn conversion offering three bedrooms and stylish accommodation in a sought-after rural setting. The living space is arranged across a single accessible level and includes impressive, vaulted ceilings with exposed timber beams. The sitting room has solid wood herringbone flooring, a log burner and full-height windows giving plenty of natural light. The well-equipped kitchen and dining room has slate tiled flooring, a central island and Aga, plus space for a dining table.

The two double bedrooms are both well-presented with built-in storage. The third bedroom is currently being used as a Study. The principal bedroom has an en suite shower room, with the second and third bedrooms sharing a family bathroom with a freestanding bathtub and a separate shower unit.

The property is located on a sweeping gravel driveway with parking for several vehicles and access to the large garage. The delightful garden features paved terracing for al fresco dining, as well as an extensive lawn with an established laurel border hedge providing privacy.
