The property
Buckshead Cottage is an attractive detached property offering over 3,500 sq. ft. of comfortable and flexible living accommodation arranged over two floors. There is an excellent flow to the house, with good connection through reception spaces on the ground floor, and equally so to bedrooms and bathrooms on the first floor. The ground floor connects well to the outside spaces, and there is plenty of natural light throughout.
A bright main reception hall doubles as a super garden room, overlooking the front garden, and also provides the circular flow through the house, connecting the back hall and kitchen area, sitting room and drawing room. The back hall accesses the boot room and a utility room.
An excellent open plan kitchen and breakfast room is the heart of the home, with an adjacent dining room which adjoins a large drawing room with inglenook fireplace and log burner, and a family room which has exterior double doors to the garden and outside entertaining area. There is also an incredbly useful study off the family room. At the centre of the house is the cosy sitting room. The roomy first-floor landing branches off into a family bathroom and five well-proportioned and light-filled bedrooms with pleasing elevated aspects of the surrounding gardens and fields. The principal bedroom also enjoys a modern en suite shower room.
