There is also an established community feel at Cowan Head as short term lets are not allowed.
Welcome Home
Drive through the private gates into Cowan Head as you approach Falcon Crag, past the pretty cottages and buildings, the beautifully landscaped rockery and ponds, and taking in the sounds of flowing water, the fresh air and the scenic countryside all around.
Park your car in your undercover secure private parking area, where there is also a private storeroom per apartment, and take the lift or stairs to the first-floor communal landing.
Step inside the apartment on to oak flooring, which extends throughout the apartment, to enter a bright, spacious, and welcoming reception area with glazed French doors, a glass surround, a bespoke stained glass panel of the River Kent and its wildlife, and an inviting archway leading to three bedrooms.
The entrance area contains both a cloakroom fitted with a rail and shelves and a warm storeroom that can be used for drying clothes and shoes or keeping them nice and warm. There is also a video intercom system that allows you to see who has arrived and lets you remotely open the estate main gate and the front door of Falcon Crag.
The French doors open up to the inviting open plan living area, which is spacious, light and has panoramic views of the private estate and beyond to the rolling hills. There is ample space for you to create your own distinct living spaces, for seating, dining, work and entertaining.
Separate sets of ceiling lights can also help create distinct living areas with different purposes and moods. Some lights were designed by a local craftsman, further enhancing the connection of the apartment to the local area.
Floor level heating and an electric fire, set in a beautiful Rennie Mackintosh style fire surround, ensure the temperature and ambiance of the open plan living area is always as you want it.
Sliding doors open onto a spacious balcony, with wood panels to the floor and ceiling, and a glass balustrade to the front, maintaining lines of sight across the river from both sitting and standing. The balcony also has external lighting and heating which allow it to be enjoyed in all seasons. The balcony benefits from morning sun, and an abundance of wildlife to be enjoyed year-round, including kingfishers, herons, jumping salmon, mink, and ducks.
The open plan kitchen is set back from the main living space and is also marked by subtle floor lines and separate lighting, windows and seating areas.
There is a good number of quality wood kitchen units, ample granite work surfaces, and a substantial kitchen island with a stainless steel extractor fan, an induction hob, storage and an adjustable granite table that can seat four. The kitchen walls are tiled in a bluey green ceramic finish that reflect the natural colours of the views out of the windows.
Integrated appliances, mostly Neff, include an oven, dishwasher, fridge and freezer.
Two kitchen window seats, with built-in storage, are great for socialising in the kitchen or for a coffee in the mid-morning sunshine or fresh air.
The kitchen also has a further bespoke stained glass panel, this one showing the original mill and workers from Cowan Head.

Garden and Grounds
The Cowan Head estate gives the impression of being remote and secluded but has the advantage of being close to all local amenities, and with all aspects of the estate and communal areas being taken care of, you can enjoy the gardens, grounds and facilities without any of the hassle.
Stroll around and enjoy the beautifully landscaped rockeries, ponds, and the visiting wildlife, such as kingfishers, heron, mink, ducks, deer, rabbits, and the wider views.
Relax, refresh and indulge in the onsite facilities. Treat yourself to a spa day, enjoying a swim in the indoor swimming pool, followed by a dip in the jacuzzi. Later sizzle away in the sauna and steam room before taking a shower to cool off.
For the more energetic, walk around the estate or enjoy a round of golf on the well maintained nine-hole golf course. Or alternatively, you could try your hand at fishing on the River Kent.
