Description:


Greystone is an impressive, modern, stone property built in 2005. Walking through the main entrance hall, to the left is a large, dual aspect sitting room with fireplace and stone surround and French doors opening onto one of the rear terraces.

Adjacent to the sitting room is the dining room with bay window overlooking the garden. Passing the stairs and ground floor WC, the hallway opens into the kitchen-breakfast room complete with an array of built-in appliances and stylish cabinetry as well as a central island with bar seating. Further seating is available in the breakfast room which then flows into the light and bright sunroom with stunning lantern roof and French doors onto the dining terrace.

Off the kitchen is an at home office and Greystone also benefits from two utility rooms. To the west of the property is access to the double garage and the second reception hall, opposite which is a staircase to a double bedroom with two dormer windows and a bathroom with feature freestanding bath.
