Conversion of a range of farm buildings into an interesting residential property set around an attractive courtyard.

Description

The Auld Laundry has been skillfully converted from a range of farm buildings, the original dwelling dating from 1800s with later additions, the major part of the renovation work being carried out in 2000. The property is constructed of part cobb, part render and part brick with a tile roof.

The accommodation comprises a kitchen/breakfast room with vaulted ceiling, slate tile floor, fitted wooden units with granite work tops. The dining end of the room has a wood burner set in a brick fireplace and a wooden floor. From the kitchen a stable door and French doors lead out to the central courtyard. Both the dining and sitting rooms have attractive vaulted ceilings with painted wooden beams. From the kitchen you walk through to the dining room, this is a light room with a double aspect and French doors lead out to the garden. Off the dining room is the well- presented sitting room with the benefit of a wood burner.

The main bedroom has a spiral staircase which takes you up to the en suite bathroom. There are a further two bedrooms with en suite bath/shower rooms. Upstairs is a fourth bedroom, office and bathroom.

The shed in the fenced off corner of the garden has a separate access off the lane and planning has been approved for a separate annex (application no. 6/2021/0174).
