Detached modern family villa with lovely garden and views.

Description

Ardskenish is a unique detached villa built in 1983 which sits in private landscaped gardens benefiting from an enviable outlook. The property takes full advantage of the beautiful countryside and offers an excellent standard of family accommodation.

The accommodation begins with an entrance porch which leads into a spacious open plan dining/kitchen area with high vaulted ceilings. This space is flooded with natural light.

The kitchen is well appointed with a range of low level cabinetry and a built in gas hob. There is a separate prep kitchen/utility space located to the rear with excellent storage and further integrated appliances.

The layout flows from the kitchen into a large lounge area with cosy double fronted wood burning stove and ample space to relax. From here there are double doors with access onto a large elevated decked terrace which wraps around the side of the property, creating the perfect layout for entertaining and taking advantage of the impressive garden. The ground level also benefits from two double bedrooms which could easily be used as a home office or study, as well as a modern fitted shower room.

The property has a distinctive layout in that it benefits from split level accommodation over two floors. The upper floor leads onto an open landing, creating a stylish gallery area which overlooks the living space below. On this level there are two further double bedrooms and a modern fitted bathroom.

Externally the property has a superb garden mainly laid to lawn with mature trees, shrubbery and deep borders. The private driveway has ample space for parking multiple vehicles.
