Description
In 2000, Oak Tree House was a simple three bedroom cottage when bought by the current owners. Since then several additions and improvements have been made: the first was a beautiful oak-framed kitchen/family room: the second were very useful stable-looking outbuildings: the third was the addition of a spacious one bedroom annexe which is currently let: the fourth was the construction of an impressive oak-framed garden pavilion: the last was the transformation of the entrance hall, into a spacious area, by straightening the staircase. The result of all these improvements is a property which now has great flexibility - either to continue letting for financial gain or using the two downstairs bedrooms and annexe kitchen for dependent old or young relatives. Alternatively, using the whole house as one substantial family home.
Situation
