Description

Meadow View is believed to date back to the 17th century, it is an impressive family home which provides deceptively spacious living accommodation and well-tendered gardens. The original cottage has accommodation over three levels, whilst the adjoining barn was converted by a previous owner in the late 1990's, to create a superb first floor sitting room with exposed timber beams and trusses and a useful utility room, store, cloakroom and integral garage below.  

Situated within the heart of Bouth village, Meadow View enjoys a peaceful position with views over the adjoining green, towards open fields and woodland in the distance. Accessed by a private front door, you walk into a welcoming, open plan, living kitchen, which is a naturally bright and generous space for socialising and entertaining with family and friends. To one side there is a cosy living area, which has an exposed stone wall with recessed alcove and a multi-fuel stove, providing a focal point and warmth to the room, as well as hot water to the radiators and domestic heating. The kitchen has been designed with a range of fitted handmade units, granite worktop and central island to the far end, with space alongside the living area for a large dining table and eight chairs. Integrated within the units is a fridge and dishwasher and incorporated within the worktop is a one and a half sink drainer with mixer tap. There is also an Everhot twin oven, grill, with hot plate and induction hob, available by separate negotiation.

A short flight of steps off the kitchen leads to a useful utility room with fitted cupboards, concealing the plumbing for a washing machine and dryer. There are also with two under stairs cupboards providing additional storage and a tall cupboard for outdoor and garden equipment. Beyond the utility is a store room, with access to a cloakroom and a set of stairs leading up to the first floor sitting room. Level access off the kitchen is a pantry/office and a flight of stairs leading to the first floor landing and sitting room. The sitting room is a fantastic addition to this wonderful home, measuring over 8m wide, the room offers flexible space for nights in relaxing around the fire and TV or as an additional entertaining space with friends and family. There are glazed doors providing a seamless link out onto the garden and a mezzanine level, for home working or crafts.

The first floor landing has a cosy reading nook with built in seat and fitted storage. There are doors leading to the bathroom and the two double bedrooms which overlook the Village Green and the green fields beyond. Both bedrooms offer similar sized proportions with space for freestanding wardrobes or drawers, with one bedroom at the end of the landing having an original cast iron fireplace. The family bathroom includes a clawfoot bath, an enclosure with wall mounted electric shower, WC and pedestal wash hand basin. A cupboard within the room houses the hot water cylinder. 

Stairs continue up to the master bedroom suite, which encompasses the entire second floor and features a vaulted ceiling with exposed timber beams. The bedroom itself is a spacious double room with space to accommodate a freestanding wardrobe, drawers and a sofa. Alongside the bedroom is a dressing area and en-suite. The en-suite includes an enclosure with wall mounted shower, WC and pedestal wash hand basin. 

Outside, to the rear of the property there is a well-tendered lawned garden with colourful planted borders and pond, and a slate patio for alfresco dining. At the top of the garden there is space for a timber shed and gated access onto the rear lane.
