Nether Blainslie Farmhouse
With a neat garden frontage a drive leads off the village road to a large stretch of parking and turning space; accessing the garage, entrance to the enclosed garden and the property. Internally, the farmhouse feel remains in the family kitchen with a quintessential AGA creating a lovely feature, complemented by a bright dual aspect, space for a dining table and chairs, and with patio doors opening directly to the garden. Two large reception rooms are set to the front, offering flexible use and perfect as a relaxed family room and a more formal lounge. A useful utility room has been recently refitted, and accesses a ground level bedroom or snug, with a neighbouring cloakroom W/C. Upstairs a generous galleried landing makes for a comfortable study area – and was formally partitioned off as a fourth bedroom. The master bedroom enjoys generous proportions with a range of in-built storage, a well fitted ensuite shower room and a neighbouring study or further walk-in dressing room as required. Two further well-appointed double bedrooms are accessed across the landing, with a fantastic family bathroom incorporating a roll top bath, separate walk-in shower and storage. Externally, in addition to the front lawn, the main section of garden wraps around the side of the property to the rear – offering a level and fully enclosed stretch of lawn with planted borders, sheltering trees, a patio and even a sunken trampoline. The chicken run and hen house sits to the far end. A drive opening from the village extends to a hard standing area for parking and a single garage.
