Upstairs are three cottage bedrooms and a full bath featuring original timbers, sloping ceilings , and lovely views. Almost 5 acres in size, the property includes a 3 bay garage with loft, an antique barn, and a wash house or potting shed. English cottage gardens, stone walls, mature plantings, fire pit, hand dug well for gardening, and a pond create a sanctuary. Updates include a new furnace, central air, a new kitchen with top-of-the line appliances, and first floor W/D. The interior is professionally painted in Farrow & Ball.
