This unique property retains many of its original features and has bags of farmhouse charm

Dovecote House is a characterful property, located at Craster South Farm. Its name reflects its previous use as a dovecote and it retains many of the distinctive features from this time, such as the tall forge chimney and original dove houses which are left exposed in the walls.

The farmhouse-style property has a cosy, country feel, with a large kitchen-diner. Accessed from a spiral staircase in this room is a mezzanine lounge area, an ideal den or playroom for children. The ground floor sitting room has an inglenook chimney, perfect for family nights in front of the fire. The house is also ideal for accommodating guests, as the bedroom on the ground floor has access to a Jack’n’Jill bathroom. Practicality comes in the form of a utility room and boot room on this floor. Upstairs, the principal bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and Juliet balcony. There are two further bedrooms, as well as a family bathroom. 

A store room at the side of the house is where the dove houses can be seen, and the room itself is useful for keeping gardening equipment. Outside is a flat lawned garden with stone wall boundary to the rear of the property, and a sheltered courtyard at the front.
