The Hemmel is a wonderful home and the opportunity for a true country lifestyle.

The smart, tiled entrance hall with separate cloakroom/WC and useful utility or boot room, opens into the stunning sitting room. Original stone byre arches, wooden beamed ceiling and a traditional stone fireplace with wood burning stove make this an impressive, yet warm and welcoming space.

The kitchen/breakfast room has recently been opened up into the dining room, to create an impressive open-plan area. With an excellent range of wall and floor units, integrated appliances including two ovens, an induction hob, space for a dishwasher and a Belfast sink, the traditional farmhouse style kitchen is skillfully blended with contemporary features. The large island bench in the cente of the kitchen along with ample space for a dining table and chairs, plus comfy seating, an abundance of bespoke built-in storage and two sets of double doors that can be thrown wide open onto the garden, makes this the perfect family or entertaining space.

Up the wooden spindle staircase from the sitting room, the first floor houses a light and airy principal bedroom showcasing a vaulted ceiling and exposed wooden beams, and complete with built-in wardrobes and a smart en-suite shower room.
