The Property

Glebe Cottage is a spacious detached stone-built property which originally dates back to the late 1800’s. The property has been renovated and extended to offer beautifully presented accommodation which has been tastefully decorated and furnished to complement the period style and features of the property, whilst also benefitting from modern touches such as immaculate bathrooms with underfloor heating and high quality fixtures and fittings. This exceptional family home will appeal to a number of buyers with differing requirements.

A partially glazed door at the rear of the property opens into the entrance vestibule with tumbled slate floor, built-in seat and onward access to the reception hallway, ground floor accommodation and staircase to the first floor. The spacious sitting room and dining room are situated to the front elevation; both enjoy attractive features of detailed plaster cornicing and ceiling roses. The dining room also benefits from a dual aspect whilst the sitting room offers a period marble fire surround with a feature cast iron insert and black slate hearth. Full height sliding doors lend a natural flow into the light and bright conservatory with glazing to three sides, attractive porcelain tiling to the floor and a vaulted roof to the apex which adds to the feeling of space. French doors open into the private garden and sun terrace which is perfectly placed for al fresco entertaining.

The kitchen is located to the rear of the property with lovely rural views and benefits from an impressive selection of wall and floor units with complementary polished oak work surfaces and quality Amtico floor covering. Integrated appliances include an under-counter Belfast sink, Quooker instant boil tap, microwave oven, dishwasher and a range-style cooker in a feature travertine tiled inglenook with extractor over.

Two good-sized bedrooms are on the ground floor, both with fitted sliding wardrobes. One benefits from a dual aspect with plantation shutters to the windows whilst the guest bedroom offers an en-suite shower room. The family bathroom is also on the ground floor level and offers quality fixtures and fittings with Dark Emperador Brown polished marble tiles to the floor and underfloor heating. A contemporary roll top bath takes centre stage with a rainfall walk-in shower adjacent, complemented by twin oval wash hand basins with storage underneath along with a bidet, heated towel rail and WC. A useful utility room is off the entrance vestibule and offers further storage and laundry solutions, space for an under bench fridge, integral wine cooler and houses the boiler.

The spindled staircase rises to the upper floor and the spacious landing, currently used as study and home office area with wide board engineered oak flooring and two Velux windows which flood the space with natural light. Located centrally to the property, this space could lend itself to a host of uses depending on individual requirements.

The principal bedroom is a room of generous proportions with a dual aspect and beautiful rural countryside views to the rear. Bespoke cabinetry and drawers have been built into the eaves space creating an excellent use of space for discreet storage. A further bedroom is to the opposite side of the landing and also benefits from a dual aspect and plantation shutters. Both bedrooms are served by a separate shower room complemented by attractive and contemporary tiling to the walls and floor, bespoke cabinetry and wash hand basin with granite top, walk-in rainfall shower and WC.

Externally

Glebe Cottage is approached through double electric gates to the rear of the property leading to a driveway with hard standing and a detached extra-large single garage with automatic door, power and lighting. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn for ease of maintenance with a good selection of trees, shrubs and perennials with climbing plants attractively clothing the stone façade. The boundaries are a combination of stone wall and hedge which add to the feeling of privacy. A good-sized sun terrace is located off the conservatory with built-in barbecue which is perfectly placed for outdoor entertaining.
