General Description
Spanning two floors, this detached former Manse combines fine period details, immaculate interiors, and generously proportioned accommodation to create a home that exudes sophistication, comfort, and warmth. Approached through a gated front garden, the property makes a wonderful first impression with its sandstone exterior. From here, the front door welcomes you into an entrance vestibule with original geometric floor tiles and a hallway adorned with handsome wooden flooring and a timeless décor that includes a picture rail and intricate cornicing. To your right and opposite a versatile family room decorated in calming neutrals, the west-facing living room with bay windows overlooking the front garden is spectacular. Exquisite cornicing, a matte black mantlepiece housing a log-burning stove, built-in shelving, and high ceilings pay homage to the history of the residence whilst the tasteful interior design including white louvred shutters is sleek and elegant. Moving through the residence the impressive dining kitchen opening to the east-facing rear garden is streamlined and contemporary.
