Lowspot Cottage is ready to move into, with three reception rooms retaining original features, such as exposed beams, vaulted ceilings, a stone fireplace and a kitchen range. The accommodation is highly insulated and has been extended over the years to create spacious and bright living areas, maximising the great views.

A wooden balcony leads to a mezzanine home office or double bed sleeping loft. The master bedroom has an ensuite. There’s another double bedroom and a bathroom with a jacuzzi, jet shower, bidet and toilet.

Adjacent is the spacious Lowspot Barn. The groundwork has been completed and there is planning permission for a dwelling. Two suggested designs for the internal layout are shown on architect’s plans which include an open-plan upstairs living area. Which maximises the exceptional views on three sides. The plans also show how 4 en-suite bedrooms could be provided. This makes it a unique opportunity for guest accommodation, an Airbnb rental, a holiday home, or a separate residence. There is complete flexibility. Lowspot Barn is a blank canvas, offering a tremendous range of possibilities.

There is a large circular drive with ample parking and two separate gated entries. There is a detached, double garage and workshop with a hardstanding for additional parking. At the rear and side is an enclosed stone walled garden. This is a low-maintenance garden with mature fruit trees and raised vegetable and flower wooden planters.
