5 bedroom detached house for sale

This detached, stone built, three-storey residence and offering some 257 square metres of immaculate accommodation, sits within a small enclave of similarly impressive properties which are reached via a lengthy private driveway and enjoy far reaching rural aspects.

A spindle staircase rises and turns to the first floor with chandelier point over and having a storage cupboard beneath. 

Steps descend to the dining hall where a further full height barn door with double doors to the rear allows natural light to flow through and highlights the exposed brick feature wall and the solid oak flooring.  For evening ambience there are four wall lights, a ceiling spotlight bar and pine latch doors open to the rooms off.
