The property

McEwan Fraser is delighted to present this superb four bedroom detached home to the market. Originally a single storey Victorian cottage, the property later benefitted from a two storey extension. The result is a unique property with around 130m2 of flexible accommodation over two floors. The internal layout could be adapted to any number of uses including providing a dedicated home office and studio, granny annexe or even as a discrete holiday let. Internally, the property has undergone a recent refurbishment and is presented to the market in immaculate condition. Many original features have been retained such as the traditional sash and case windows which generally enjoy beautiful woodland views. The property also benefits from a range of modern features such as partial double glazing and mains gas fired central heating. This is an absolutely unique property and viewing is essential to appreciate both the quality and flexibility of the internal space, on one hand, the stunning setting on the other. You enter the property through the main front door which forms part of the later extension to the original building. The central hallway gives access to the main living room, one of two potential ground floor bedrooms and the dining kitchen. The main lounge to your left boasts a dual aspect, contemporary neutral finish and ample floor space. A modern stove makes for a natural focal point and there is plenty of scope for a variety of different furniture configurations. The dining kitchen enjoys a similar dual aspect to the main living room. The kitchen comprises a full range of base and wall mounted units arranged around a range cooker. There is plenty of prep and storage space for the aspiring chef alongside an integrated dishwasher and further free standing appliances. Moving through the kitchen, you come to the rear hallway which gives access to a stylish wet room and further sitting room. This additional public room also enjoys a dual aspect and feature fireplace. The bedroom is a nicely proportioned rear facing double with integrated storage. The fourth bedroom is accessed through the sitting room. This is an ideal arrangement to create a dedicated living space with a degree of separation from the main body of the house. Climbing the stairs, there are two further large double bedrooms with integrated storage and a beautiful family bathroom. Externally, the property enjoys a driveway, spacious attached garage and a large private garden.
