This “superb” cottage for sale is full of charm and was once used as the village’s pub. 

Benedict’s Cottage, in Liverton, is believed to date back to the mid-1700s, and originally had a thatched roof. 

The building later became a taphouse pub named The Sportsman’s Arms, then being converted into two cottages. 

In the 1950s, the property was once again converted and became the village tearoom, before later becoming a home again. 

An entrance porch sits at the front of the home, with tiled flooring and a wooden stable door to the dining room, which features an inglenook fireplace, a wood-burning stove and a beamed ceiling. 

To one side of the dining room is the sitting room, which also features an inglenook fireplace and a beamed ceiling, while to the other side is a kitchen with a built-in oven and hob and a walk-in larder. 

Completing the ground floor of the cottage is a snug/small bedroom, a cloakroom, and a rear porch with a sliding door. 

Upstairs, both bedrooms include built-in wardrobes, a beamed ceiling, and wooden flooring, while a family bathroom serves both rooms. 

Outside, there is a garden to the side and rear of the cottage, which has been landscaped and includes both lawned and patio area. 

There is also a summerhouse, a single timber garage, a carport and additional parking space. 

The property is being sold by estate agents Coast & Country for a guide price of £415,000. 

Darren Smith of Coast & Country commented: “This charming period home offers an abundance of character and boasts spacious well presented accommodation and being within a sought after village location will appeal to a wide variety of buyers and as sole agents internal viewings are recommended to appreciate all that Benedict’s Cottage has to offer.”
