Quote Reference GP608630 - Approached via a long, broad, and sweeping tree-lined driveway that winds gracefully through the estate, creating a sense of occasion with every arrival, this elegant three double-bedroomed period home forms part of a most handsome and sympathetically converted Edwardian country residence. The impressive stone façade, adorned with distinctive period features including large double-glazed mullion windows, ornate stonework, and classic architectural detailing, immediately conveys the quality and character that define this exceptional property. A welcoming front entrance door opens into a charming porch area, leading through to the bright entrance hallway where you'll find a convenient ground-floor cloakroom with W.C. A graceful archway guides you into the inner hall, from which doors open to reveal the study/dining room, the elegant living room, and the heart of the home - a spacious, light-filled kitchen. The kitchen features a practical side entrance half-glazed door and showcases an extensive range of sleek, contemporary, high-gloss base and wall cupboards, including impressive full-height larder units that offer abundant storage. Warm wooden work surfaces and flooring create a welcoming ambience, while the classic double Belfast sink sits beneath crisp white metro tiling. The generous proportions allow ample space for a family dining table and chairs, perfect for everyday meals and entertaining. Including an Integrated washing machine and a dedicated wide-range cooker, crowned by a steel extractor hood. The living room is a wonderfully spacious and comfortable retreat, bathed in natural light from characterful mullion windows at the front. Rich wooden flooring flows underfoot, while a handsome period fireplace takes pride of place, housing a crackling wood-burning stove that promises cosy winter evenings. Elegant painted panelling adorns the walls, and a deep, inviting window seat overlooks the sun-drenched south-facing garden, creating an irresistibly warm and welcoming space for relaxation and gathering. Tucked off the living room is a cosy, intimate study or dining room - the perfect sanctuary for curling up with a good book or dining with friends and family. An elegant dog-leg staircase rises gracefully to the first-floor sitting area with large mullion windows offering views to nearby mountains. From here, three well-proportioned bedrooms and a modern family shower room await. The stunning principal bedroom is a true highlight, with its charming mullion windows framing picturesque views of the pretty gardens below, complemented by the luxury of a private en-suite shower room. EXTERIOR The property enjoys a dramatic arrival, approached via a sweeping driveway that meanders gracefully through a leafy, tree-lined avenue, creating a sense of seclusion and anticipation before opening onto a generous gravelled parking and turning area with ample space for multiple vehicles. The house benefits from the best of both worlds - its own private garden sanctuary and privileged access to the spectacular communal lawns and grounds that surround this exceptional property. To the front, a charming gravel pathway bordered by an attractive stone retaining wall guides you to a private south-facing terrace - an idyllic sun-trap offering abundant space for al fresco dining, entertaining guests beneath the open sky, or simply relaxing while drinking in the delightful panoramic views that sweep across the manicured lawns. The meticulously maintained communal gardens are truly breathtaking, extending to approximately 2.5 acres of verdant grounds that feel like your own private estate. Predominantly laid to sweeping expanses of lawn, they are thoughtfully landscaped with established mature shrubs and vibrant seasonal flower borders that provide year-round colour and visual interest. Meandering gravelled pathways invite leisurely exploration and peaceful strolls, while beautifully sculpted ornamental hedging adds architectural structure and timeless charm. The elevated position offers captivating vistas across the surrounding mountains and rolling countryside - a constantly changing backdrop of natural beauty through every season.
