Braefoot is believed to date back to the eighteenth century and originally formed part of a bone mill and stabling, a watermill that produced agricultural fertilizer for the surrounding farms and estates. In the latter part of the nineteenth century the stable block was converted into cottages and Braefoot retains the character and many period features from this era. The property is beautifully presented throughout and would make a lovely permanent home or an ideal holiday home or let. The cottage has recently been rewired, replumbed, reroofed and had new double-glazed windows fitted. Approached from the road a garden gate opens into a fully enclosed pretty front garden with a path leading up to the front door. The attractive timber front door has a window above and opens into a welcoming hall, with Coir matting and stairs leading up to the first floor. The hall has attractive whitewashed timber paneling and hooks for hats and coats. From the hall a door opens into the spacious sitting room with a window overlooking the front garden with a solid timber beam creating a wonderful window seat. The focal point of the room is the impressive stone fireplace with a multi-fuel stove sitting on a slate hearth, perfect for cosy winter evenings. The sitting room also benefits from some attractive painted timber paneling and timber flooring. A part-glazed timber door opens into a rear hall with ceramic tiled flooring and a door leading out into the rear garden. Off the hall is the bathroom with the same ceramic tiled flooring and fitted with a modern white suite comprising bath with shower over, WC, hand basin with a mirrored vanity above and a vertical chrome towel radiator. The ceramic tiled flooring in the rear hall also flows through into the kitchen-breakfast room via a part-glazed timber door. The kitchen has windows to the side and rear overlooking the enclosed rear courtyard garden and is fitted with a range of country-styled floor and wall mounted unites with timber counters over and subway style ceramic tiled splash-back. There is a ceramic sink and drainer with mixer tap and an integral electric oven with four-ring gas hob and extractor over. There is also plumbing for a dishwasher, space for a fridge and a useful fitted larder cupboard. From the sitting room a door to one side leads into a double bedroom with a window to the rear and fitted with timber flooring. From the front hall the staircase leads up to the landing which has space for a chair and an original window overlooking the rear garden. There are two bedrooms on the first floor, a double and a single. The double bedroom is a generous size with a window to the front and delightful timber paneling and original painted timber floorboards. An impressive open fireplace serves as a beautiful feature for the room with an ornate ceramic tiled surround. The third bedroom is a bright single bedroom with a window to the front and with the same characterful original painted floor boards.
