Substantial detached B listed family home presented in excellent order throughout, with delightful south facing garden and extensive parking

Description

Cairn Lodge is a substantial detached B listed family home presented in excellent order throughout. The property offers spacious, flexible and exceptionally comfortable accommodation over ground, first and attic floors and with predominantly south facing aspects, as well as to the north, east and west, the property benefits from an abundance of natural light throughout the day. Retaining much of its original charm with a variety of period features, the property has been successfully modernised and updated in recent times to cater perfectly for modern family living.

The front door opens through a vestibule to the broad and welcoming reception hall from where the ground floor living and reception rooms radiate. To the front of the house and set to either side of the vestibule are the elegant bay windowed dining room and the wonderful bay windowed sitting room. Both rooms are particularly spacious with views over the generous south facing lawn, while the sitting room also has a west facing window, making it particularly bright in the afternoons and evenings. The recently re-fitted and well-appointed hand built kitchen with Dekton worktops sits adjacent to the sitting room. There is ample space for a breakfasting table, and from here there is direct access into the west and south facing conservatory. There is heating in here also, ensuring it can be used at all times of the year. The conservatory leads directly into the enclosed rear and side garden. Also on the ground floor, there is a fifth double bedroom with a dressing room and en suite shower room, ideal for guests or elderly relatives. There is also a cloakroom with WC and a useful utility room. A back door leads from the utility room to the rear of the house where there is a detached wash house with garden store and additional storage cupboard.

The stair rises from the hall to first floor where the remaining bedroom accommodation is situated. One of the double bedrooms is situated to the east end of the house and benefits from a luxurious en suite shower room. There are three further generous double bedrooms on this floor, all served by the spacious family bath and shower room. In addition, there is a study, which could also be used as a further bedroom if required.

A further stair rises to the attic level where there is a superb games room with a full size snooker table, a bar and ample space for seating.

The house is set to the rear of its grounds in an elevated position, ensuring that the garden benefits from maximum sunlight. A gated driveway winds to the side and front of the house and provides ample parking for a number of cars. A mature laurel hedge ensures excellent privacy and screening also. There are several mature and young trees interspersed around the grounds providing lots of privacy and colour for much of the year. To the east side of the house there is a large play area, which has potential for a garage, subject to the necessary consents. A path leads around the rear of the house to the west facing decked terrace, which is a wonderful place to sit in the evening sun.
