Goveton

The Retreat is an interesting property combining in appearance both Victorian and Georgian styles. It has traditional stone walls and a slate roof whilst internally many original features have been retained. There has been extensive work done in recent years including heating and electrical work but there is still plenty of scope to enhance this unique property. Externally there are lovely countryside views from the cottage and from its extensive gardens, which are well stocked with mature shrubs and trees.

The ground floor is entered via a pillared porch with a slate roof and part obscured glazed timber door that opens into a welcoming entrance hall. The heart of the home is the well-proportioned kitchen, featuring a deep-set cottage-style timber casement window, an inglenook fireplace with a classic Aga, built in units and ample space for a family dining table. The principal reception rooms comprise a charming sitting room and separate dining room, both with large sash windows and feature fireplaces. The dining room has direct access to the garden through double-glazed doors, and both rooms could easily be made into one larger reception room if preferred. A generous utility room, dedicated study and useful cloakroom complete the ground floor.

The first floor provides five versatile bedrooms, with fireplaces in the principal bedroom and one further bedroom. The bedrooms are served by a family bathroom and separate cloakroom. The second floor comprises a substantial attic space, offering potential for further development into an additional bedroom if required, subject to the necessary consents.
