Oakapple

* This most attractive property was originally the old coach house owned by the local doctor to stable his coach & horses during the c. 18th Century.
* The present owners have meticulously refurbished and extended the property to create this fabulous home; imaginatively combining a modern twist to create the perfect fusion of period proportions and charm with contemporary style.
* A beautiful, country-style kitchen/breakfast room benefits from free-standing Fired Earth units with solid work-surfaces and Belfast sink with an integrated dishwasher and space for an Aga or conventional cooker.
* The stunning Master bedroom suite has access to a fabulous bathroom with wet room and free-standing slipper bath, complimented by travertine floor & wall tiles.
* Exposed and painted brickwork and timber beams and trusses are just a few of the original features which the current owners have sympathetically incorporated into this beautiful home and which are a reminder of the property's agricultural past.

The Outside

* The large, private roof terrace, which has been paved with slate flagstones, provides a fabulous outside space for entertaining, or just relaxing away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, and lends itself to a Mediterranean-style of garden.
* An additional rear courtyard, which is accessed directly via the sitting room, has great potential to create a secluded and easily manageable second terrace area, or would be an ideal space for creating additional external storage/wood store.
* A private, gravelled seating area can be found to the front aspect of the property.
