Roova House is a traditional dales longhouse with adjoining former barn of traditional stone construction which stands well on the edge of West Scrafton, close to the rural hamlet of Swineside. The property has been beautifully renovated to exacting standards and offers comfortable and flexible accommodation across two floors with panoramic views of Coverdale. The property has been very well maintained and is fully double glazed. It has oil central heating throughout.
Roova House is entered into via a reception hall which provides access into the kitchen diner to the right, or the barn to the left. The dual aspect kitchen has under floor heating and features a good range of fitted base units which are complemented by a feature fireplace, pantry cupboard and ample space for a dining table. Just off the kitchen there is a ground floor bathroom with shower over the bath, WC and basin, and a separate airing cupboard which works well as a drying room. Usefully, there is also a separate utility room providing access to the rear which is plumbed for a washing machine, and has a sink with drainer and further units.
There is a living room which has an oak floor and dual aspect windows together with a multi fuel stove set within a feature fireplace. Completing the ground floor is the impressive barn which is accessed via the main reception hall or has a separate front door. This has been converted to create a large, open space with a vaulted ceiling which is perfect for entertaining or has many other possible uses. There is a large Esse stove, and a number of windows from where the views can be enjoyed. There is a mezzanine floor above which is accessed via spiral staircase and is used as a library and for storage. There is also a sun room on the ground floor with French sliding doors leading out to the garden, with an east facing area to enjoy the evening sunshine and al-fresco dining.
To the first floor there are three well-proportioned double bedrooms each with exposed beams and traditional floorboards. There is a house bathroom with freestanding bath, shower cubicle, WC, Basins and a heated towel rail.
Externally the property is completed by an attached outbuilding comprising three useful stores, and generous gardens which are mostly to either side of the property. To the rear there is a patio and graveled area which is adjacent open fields with ample space for seating and potted plants. To the side the gardens are mostly laid to lawn with mature trees. To the front of the property is a further area of garden with off road parking for two cars on the gravel drive.
Overall, Roova House offers excellent potential as a family home in the heart of Coverdale. Viewing is advised.
