A fine individual detached house situated in the middle of this highly sought after village yet well set back from the village road.
Originally built in the 1960’s, Tricilyn was purchased by the current owner in 2010 and has been the subject of a comprehensive programme of extension, modernisation and re-modelling. This particularly comfortable home benefits from gas central heating and double glazing, with the accommodation arranged over ground and first floors. There is still scope for further extension, subject to the necessary consents.

The kitchen is fitted with a good number of floor and wall cabinets, extensive work surfacing, integrated double door drawer style fridge, plumbing for a dishwasher, twin sinks and display cabinetry.
Accessed from the sitting room and kitchen is the conservatory, an exceptional space that spans the width of the original house.

Tricliyn stands in a wonderful location, tucked away from the village road and is approached via a private driveway which Tricilyn has a right of vehicular access over. A shared electric entrance gate offers good security with the driveway extending in front of neighbouring property, Catherine's Close, before a private electric gate opens to Tricilyn itself.
There is a good level of parking in front of the house with ample space for numerous vehicles. Attached to the house is a substantial double garage that has twin up and over remotely controlled doors. There is light, power and heating. The garage offers perfect car storage, workshop space etc.
The delightful south facing rear garden offers a high level of privacy, backing onto protected land that is normally used for livestock grazing. This particularly wide plot allows the garden to be split into different areas that include lawns, supporting and well stock beds and at one end a summerhouse (with light and power) and garden shed, whilst at the further end of the garden is a separate larger timber shed.
