Adjacent is the expansive lounge with its triple aspect views is an inviting room that houses many of the aforementioned traditional features. However, the centrepiece of the room is unarguably the inviting cast iron multi-fuel burner neatly nestled into a stunning stone brick wall surround with flagged hearth. Featuring patio doors, which lead to the rear garden, this room lets the outdoors in during the summer months, and is a cosy room in which to relax in front of the fire during the chilly winter months.
The heart of this desirable family home is undoubtedly the sumptuous country style kitchen; featuring beautiful bespoke shaker units and offering ample storage this is a spacious room finished to an immaculate standard. Here you will find a sizeable island unit which houses numerous integrated appliances, including a hi-spec wine cooler, two fridges, recycling unit and a number of sliding vegtable baskets. A traditional Belfast sink with period style mixer tap, solid wood work surfaces successfully combined with contemporary granite worktops… and a stunning inset Range Master cooker. Just off the kitchen is a good-sized utility room, a handy downstairs wc, and a spacious conservatory with distinctive and elegant feature windows.
Upstairs the rustic charm of this family home continues; here you will find four good-sized bedrooms that have once again been finished to a high standard. The large grandiose master-suite, situated towards the rear of the property, offers dual aspect views and comes with a luxurious dressing room and en-suite featuring a three piece suite with a larger than average shower with drying area. The remaining three bedrooms, one of which is a large double, have also been tastefully decorated and feature solid wood flooring, adding to their homely rural appeal. The family bathroom is spacious and traditionally styled, featuring a freestanding cast iron bath with claw feet and a classic period suite reminiscent of those found in ancestral countryside hotels.
