General Description
Spanning two floors, this detached former Manse combines fine period details, immaculate interiors, and generously proportioned accommodation to create a home that exudes sophistication, comfort, and warmth. Approached through a gated front garden, the property makes a wonderful first impression with its sandstone exterior. From here, the front door welcomes you into an entrance vestibule with original geometric floor tiles and a hallway adorned with handsome wooden flooring and a timeless décor that includes a picture rail and intricate cornicing. To your right and opposite a versatile family room decorated in calming neutrals, the west-facing living room with bay windows overlooking the front garden is spectacular. Exquisite cornicing, a matte black mantlepiece housing a log-burning stove, built-in shelving, and high ceilings pay homage to the history of the residence whilst the tasteful interior design including white louvred shutters is sleek and elegant. Moving through the residence the impressive dining kitchen opening to the east-facing rear garden is streamlined and contemporary. Flooded with natural light it boasts wall and floor cabinetry in a polished natural hue, smooth white worktops, and a full suite of high-spec integrated appliances including an eye-level grill, microwave, gas hob, oven, extractor hood, and American-style fridge/freezer. A kitchen island allows for informal dining whilst the generous layout accommodates more formal gatherings. With a sizeable utility on this floor, the kitchen can remain clutter-free. Completing the ground floor layout alongside a useful cloakroom is a comfortable carpeted double bedroom decorated in soft tones and a well-appointed family bathroom featuring a bath, shower enclosure, hidden cistern WC, and washbasin built into vanity. Ascending the staircase with its original mahogany banister and passing an arched window, the light and airy landing leads to four double bedrooms and a comfortable single or study. The outstanding dual-aspect principal boasts west-facing bay windows to the front of the property and with its high ceilings, cornicing, and soothing colour palette is a peaceful and luxurious retreat. Each of the remaining bedrooms is well-presented and shares access to a modern shower room with a hidden cistern WC and washbasin built into vanity.
