Pinfold Cottage is an impressive detached period home dating from 1860 and  standing in private grounds of approximately 0.75 of an acre. The property offers generous family accommodation combining character features with stylish fixtures and fittings throughout.  The accommodation includes a generous reception hall with a wood burning stove, a superb open plan kitchen/dining room as well as a most spacious living room with an atrium roof and second high capacity stove. In addition there is a cloakroom/WC, utility room, study and a recently added games room which could be used for a number of purposes. The first floor comprises a master bedroom with an en suite shower room together with three further bedrooms, a Jack and Jill style shower room and a family bathroom. Outside a gated driveway provides secure parking for a number of vehicles, a range of recently renovated outbuildings and a 550 square foot garage/workshop.
