An alarm system is
fitted, and you will be provided with a remote key fob unit to
arm/disarm the system. Luckily we have no need of alarms in
Golberdon, but this is a requirement of insurance companies.
As you enter the
front room, the original slate flag floors give the first clue
as to the character of the cottage. The beamed ceilings add to
the charm of the large front room which was originally two rooms
with central stairs.
To your left is a
large fire place with original oak lintol. The unusually low
height of this gives another clue to the Victorian restoration.
Beyond this, two stage stairs lead to the first floor from the
far left corner. Both windows in the from room have window
seats, these alcoves were left when the windows were raised by
the Victorians during the renovation which saw the whole house
raised up by some 18 inches.
Above the oak
lintol fire place you can see the Granite stone which formed the
base of the first floor fire place and make out the infill which
was used to block up this fire place, which now resides between
the levels, half way between floors.
To the right is
another fire place, remodelled by the Victorians to accommodate
a Cornish range, which is sadly missing. However this fire place
is working, unlike the other due to the low lintol which was not
raised when the floor level were lifted.
To the rear,
leading off the front room are the kitchen, breakfast bar and
Bathroom. These spaces have been completely remodelled to give a
spacious feeling and allow maximum use of the space for a brand
new kitchen and bathroom suite.
The slate floor in
the rear lobby leads to the rear garden through a stable door,
which opens onto a sunken patio area. Two steps lead up onto the
rear garden. We have turfed the rear garden , following removal
of the outside toilet, this matches the green fields beyond
which border the rear.
Leading from the
front room, the stairs bring you the the first floor landing
from which doors lead to the main bedroom and second bedroom.
Both rooms overlook the front garden, and both have window
seats.
The main room has a
double bed and in the second bedroom, there are two single beds
and, depending on your requirements a cot can be provided.
The cottage is
fully equipped with oil fired central heating, main water, mains
drains and electricity. |
