Substantial and elegant period family home, forming part of a stable block conversion, occupying an overall plot of about 1.16 of an acre, with west facing gardens and incredible far-reaching countryside views
PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Walking through the enclosed courtyard, you enter the spacious hall, with stairs leading to the first floor
Generous 34 ft. dual-aspect sitting/dining room, with access to the garden, two hand-built wooden display cabinets with base cupboards, and an Adam-style decorative fireplace with wooden surround and stone hearth, incorporating a Clearview multi-fuel wood-burner

To the left of the hall is the stylish modern kitchen/breakfast room, offering a good selection of wall and base units, fitted gas "Rangemaster" and separate "Sandyford Sherlock" oil-fired cooker
To the rear of the kitchen, are steps leading up to the utility room, with Belfast sink, with an internal door connecting to the hall

There is also a very useful boot room with an external door leading to the front of the property
