An attractive traditional village house with a field

Description

Pitversie Bank is believed to have started out as a farmhouse and cottage. Over the years the properties were unified and the house was extended. Pitversie has an attractive façade with symmetrical windows set in sandstone beneath a slate roof and with a small pediment carved above the front door. To the rear the house is rendered and whitewashed and has lovely big picture windows capturing southerly light. The original front door is accessible directly from the roadside and leads into a hall with a study and dining room on either side. The dining room has been cleverly connected to the two best rooms in the house: a wonderfully large and bright sitting room with fireplace and the open plan kitchen which has lots of space for dining. On the ground floor there is also a shower room, utility room and small conservatory. Upstairs the main bedroom has an en suite bathroom (and fabulous views over the garden and field), and three further bedrooms share a shower room and WC along with the shower room on the ground floor.

Garden
The garden at Pitversie Bank is a particular feature of the property and has been nurtured over many years. A fabulous camellia sits at the front of the house and to the rear neat hedging encloses a lawn edged with herbaceous borders. A trellis arch leads to a parking area and garage at the rear of the house and then to a small orchard and the working area of the garden where there is also a greenhouse. A sheltered south facing terrace beside the kitchen is a lovely spot to eat out in the summer.

Land
A field of 1.8 acres stretches out behind Pitversie and is accessible directly from the orchard; this would be ideal for horses or hobby livestock.
