Backing onto ancient woodland, we’ve opened up this late 18th century cottage to combine the kitchen and sitting room. This open plan creates a surprisingly fresh, contemporary feel. But because we’ve used traditional materials of brick and wood throughout, the heritage of the property still shines through. Downstairs there is a large wood burner, and we’ve converted the former coal store into a cosy single bedroom. By the backdoor there is a utility room and WC. Upstairs there are two further bedrooms, both with kingsize beds, and a bath/shower room. 2 Stonedelph also has a large fully enclosed patio with outside seating, and a generous garden.
