The property

With great individuality, this superior detached home (152 sqm) really must be viewed to experience the countless attractive features offered within. The property is sure to appeal to discerning purchasers of all age groups seeking the tranquillity and many benefits of traditional country life.

The works which have been carried out to a particularly high specification include a complete re-roof, re-wire and provision of a recently installed highly efficient renewable heating system which is complemented by a multi-fuel stove. Quality contemporary fittings feature in the kitchen, shower room and bathroom whilst the stunning bespoke turned hemlock staircase (constructed using some original timbers from the Kirk) creates great impact. On the ground floor, the well-designed interior is floored with handmade terracotta tiling and is served by under-floor heating. In true ‘move-in’ condition, the accommodation provides great living space, a stylish partially open plan kitchen/breakfast room (having integrated appliances), useful utility room and shower room. Upstairs there are three large double bedrooms and modern bathroom. Outside is an attractive and easily maintained garden with sheltered seating areas, driveway and large shed. The property has been valued by surveyors at £325,000 and lies in Council Tax Band D.
