Property code: IC069

This grand, detached property is the perfect secluded spot for a good old family catch up, offering space for an extended family of ten to rest and recharge. Surrounded by extensive grounds and with no neighbours in close proximity, you won't have to worry about disturbing those around you or a broken night's sleep - ideal for groups escaping the city or families with kids and dogs!

 

Head up the sweeping drive and through the dramatic stone pillars on entrance to this property, which should give you a feel of the magnificence of this home. Utterly spacious rooms offer space for everyone to relax, and antique-style furnishings throughout provide a true rural countryside feel. In the generous living area, you'll find space (and then some) for every member of the family to lounge and watch a film, however a second lounge also offers a TV for those who can't decide on what to watch. Be sure to make use of the dining room and come together for an evening meal, as here you'll find space for all to sit down and eat. You'll also find a more casual breakfast area in the contemporary kitchen, perfect for fuelling up for the day ahead. Further exploring the ground floor, you'll find one double and one twin bedroom, as well as a shower room with WC. The aforementioned second lounge is up the open staircase on the first floor, providing guests with stunning views across the valley. On this floor, you'll also find a further double bedroom and two twin rooms, all of which benefit from an en-suite shower room or bathroom. Heading outside, you'll no doubt find an abundance of space, where a fenced garden offers outdoor furniture, BBQ appliances and surrounding fields where you may see grazing sheep.
