An Architect's Pride

A former worker's cottage, built by the Londonderry Estate in the early 19th century, and later reimagined by local architectural enthusiast Peter Best. This is a property steeped in local history — and one that is far more than it first appears from the street.

Step through the original c200-year-old doorway and timber-clad entrance porch into a hallway that leads past the master bedroom, complete with its own luxury en suite bath and shower room, and on into the true heart of the home: a striking double-height kitchen and dining space, flooded with natural light. Here, historic and contemporary details sit side by side, and the character of the home — old meeting new — begins to reveal itself.

The open-plan lounge overlooks the floor void down into the dining area below, and opens out through full-width folding/sliding doors onto a decked patio and raised garden. Beyond lies a long, private, south-west-facing garden with a shaded patio — perfect for those who like to chase the sun.

Upstairs, accessed via a mezzanine walkway from the living room, you'll find the second bedroom, a WC/shower room, and the gas boiler storage cabinet.

Refurbishment wasn't just cosmetic — building performance was carefully considered throughout, with upgrades including increased insulation and air-tightness to the roof and external walls, a positive input ventilation system, and a full rewire.

Stewart & Co. are delighted to bring this property to market. We look forward to welcoming you through that old doorway!
