The property

Nestled into an accessible yet beautifully rural position, Crowfootbank Cottage is a particularly handsome detached stone built property; originally two cottages which were subsequently combined and renovated to provide what is now an impressive family home with an adaptable internal layout. The accommodation offers a wealth of lovely features such as exposed stone walls, solid oak window sills and an impressive inglenook fireplace within the main lounge; these all marry perfectly with the more modern aspects which include a farmhouse style kitchen and contemporary bathrooms and shower rooms. The layout is such that it lends itself perfectly to the ever changing demands of family life with bedroom and bathroom facilities on both levels; that said the two en-suite bedrooms on the upper floor could provide B&B opportunities also if desired. Externally the property occupies a sizeable private plot with the lawned gardens extending to the side & rear, and bordering open countryside beyond. For those keen on gardening or simply seeking a super family friendly space, the gardens are a fantastic feature. There is also a fabulous working from home solution; the current vendors have erected a new detached double garage which features an external staircase giving access to the upper floor - a perfect work environment for those keen to keep work and family life separate but equally this space is suitable for a whole host of different uses depending on preference.

  • Accommodation

    To the front of the property the impressive lounge boasts double windows which afford lots of natural light. Whilst generous in its proportions it retains a lovely homely feel, thanks in part to the impressive fireplace with multi fuel stove, ceiling beams and exposed stonework. With an outlook over the side garden, the kitchen is finished in farmhouse style with a great range of shaker style units with slot In range cooker. Usefully a utility room leads off the kitchen with external door to the garden and further gives access into the adjoining hobby room which has in the past been used as a study – again with an outlook over the garden. The central hall again boasts the beautiful exposed stone work and offers good under stair storage. A door to the rear opens into the super garden room which has three windows and a glazed door to the garden - with a beautifully private aspect over the grounds this is an ideal spot to relax and enjoy the view and morning sun. For those who like to entertain, the dining room is a perfect space with ample room for a large table and chairs. Again this room has a front facing window and lots of light together with a multi fuel stove recessed into a stone fireplace and exposed beams. Two of the potential five bedrooms are located on the ground floor; both generous double rooms with outlooks over the gardens to the side and rear – both are served by a beautifully appointed family bathroom which has been tastefully fitted with a four piece suite including a bath and separate shower with rainfall shower head, fully tiled walls and floor plus good vanity storage. The upper floor hosts the two large en-suite double bedrooms; each are fairly equal in size and both command a super open outlook over the surrounding countryside. One of the rooms benefits from extensive built in storage to one wall whilst both have very tasteful en-suite shower rooms. Centrally positioned off the upper landing is a further single room if required or perhaps a very useful dressing room with velux window to the front.

An external staircase extends to the upper floor which would make for an ideal dedicated home office and perfect for those seeking to keep work and family life separate; with velux windows, good levels of light and ample room for computer desks etc. Alternatively for those with other requirements, this space would easily lend itself to a host of different uses.
