5 Bedroom Detached House

Nestled at the edge of the picturesque 'Fairy Steps' in Slackhead, Fairy Steps Cottage is a charming and spacious home set within approximately 0.38 acres of grounds and woodland. Formerly 2 separate cottages, the property has been partially renovated by the current owners, with scope for completing the remaining cosmetic improvements to suit your style and needs. This deceptively large home offers versatile living spaces across two floors, combining period character with modern updates. The ground floor features two reception rooms, including a cosy sitting room with a log-burning stove framed by exposed stonework, and another flexible living area that once housed the staircase, perfect for use as a snug or second lounge. The kitchen is bright and practical, with dual-aspect windows, cream cabinetry, and wood-effect worktops and a useful utility or boot room sits just off the kitchen, providing direct access to the rear garden. A hallway connects the ground-floor rooms and offers potential as a home office, reading nook, or informal sitting area. Two ground floor double bedrooms have been added by the current owners, both featuring underfloor heating and their own en-suite shower rooms, making them perfect for guests or family members. Upstairs, there are 3 generously sized double bedrooms, each with its own charm
