Located in the heart of the picturesque village of Morcott, this historic stone-built property, dating from 1710-1830, offers a perfect balance of period charm and modern living. Unlisted and therefore free from the restrictions typically associated with listed buildings, this home retains many original features, including exposed wooden beams, stone mullion windows, and high ceilings, while offering the flexibility to adapt to modern living.

The ground floor welcomes you with spacious, character-filled living areas. The living room and snug, each with their own wood-burning stove, provide cosy spaces to relax.

The attic bedroom is a unique and charming space featuring built-in storage, a quirky raised bed and a pitched ceiling.

The exterior of the property is equally impressive, with mature gardens that include a lush lawn, vibrant plantings, and multiple seating areas perfect for enjoying the outdoors. A built-in BBQ area adds to the appeal of alfresco dining and summer gatherings.

The detached stone-built barn, attached to the carport, presents a significant opportunity for development. Subject to the necessary permissions, the possibilities are endless, whether you envision a self-contained annexe, an art studio, or even an Airbnb.

The carport provides sheltered parking for two vehicles and includes an electric supply, while the gated driveway offers additional secure parking.
