| The Property | Butchers is such an interesting period property with an intriguing past. The original house is an attractive double fronted Victorian property. To one side is an old barn that was carpenter's workshop at one time. The double doors at the front of the barn are no longer in use but served to lead the donkey and cart through to the rear of the property, where you can still find the cast iron manger. In 2001 the barn was restored and knocked through into the house to create a large sitting room and master bedroom on the first floor. To the other side of the property is building currently used as a large workshop but was at one time the local butchers shop, which give the house its name. The workshop has also served as a glass designer's studio and retail shop offering versatility for those who need a creative workspace for a home business or personal hobby.
|
| . | The property has been well maintained, extended and sensitively renovated whilst still retaining many period features including beamed ceilings, some exposed floors, wood panelled doors and many sash windows including a beautiful stained glass window on the first floor. In the dining room is a fireplace with clome oven, now fitted with a wood burner, and the kitchen also boasts an inglenook fireplace with clome oven, which now houses a cream Aga.
|
| . | In 2006 the kitchen was extended and redesigned to create a Shaker style country kitchen which is both light and spacious. In the same year a garden room was added that opens onto a delightful and private patio area that enjoys the afternoon sun, along with a contemporary ground floor wet room with wide door for disability access. Modern comforts include oil fired central heating throughout, along with two wood burning stoves and property is tastefully decorated in soft neutral tones to create a look and ambience that is timeless and classic.

There are four double bedrooms on the first floor, along with a family bathroom. Outside there is parking for two cars to the front of the property and a large workroom as previously mentioned. To the rear of the property is an attractive patio area, garden, mostly laid to lawn, vegetable plot, outhouse and shed.
