Snypes Cottage is a beautiful C Listed, 1 ½ storey home with self-contained annexe occupying a secluded rural position overlooking Snypes Dam and the surrounding countryside. The fantastic plot is approximately an acre in size and is accessed via electric gates and surrounded by a stone dyke.
Originally built in the 1600s and cherished and upgraded by the current owners, Snypes Cottage offers extremely versatile living space.   The main accommodation and annexe extends to around 3784 sq ft including the garage and the store and is set over two floors with five bedrooms in its current configuration. An entrance vestibule leads to the main hallway that has a utility room, WC and staircase leading up to a guest bedroom and shower room. The stunning drawing room to the right of the hallway has a dual aspect outlook over the garden and an impressive stone fireplace with multi fuel stove.
To the left of the hallway the kitchen/dining room is well-proportioned and appointed, with granite worktops, a range of floor and wall mounted cabinetry, range stove, flagstone floor and a door that leads out to the garden at the rear and another door opening through to the beautifully decorated lounge with hardwood floors, multifuel stove and high level mood lighting creating the perfect space to relax or entertain.
