DESCRIPTION
Thought to date originally from around 1880 and believed to have connections to the renowned Adam family, Lochornie House is a lovely family farmhouse offering delightful country living along with high levels of amenity whilst at the same time benefitting from excellent accessibility. The house is constructed on stone under slate roofs, and with courtyard and generous outbuildings (including stables) to the rear, the well-presented accommodation is arranged over two floors with the ground floor accommodation very much centred around the charming open plan kitchen with sitting room/snug off.

The well-proportioned drawing room benefits from an open fire and a bright southerly aspect over the front garden whilst off the kitchen is the cosy sitting room/snug with wood burner. The property has been significantly upgraded by the current owners including upgrading the windows with modern PVC double glazed sash and case and sealed units. The kitchen and utility room have also recently been upgraded along with the total redecorated and new floor coverings. The upstairs accommodation is situated off a broad landing and has been remodelled to create 4 bedrooms, a family bathroom along with a shared en suite shower room.

ACCOMMODATION
Ground Floor: Porch, hall, drawing room, kitchen/dining room, sitting room/snug, utility room, WC.
First Floor: 4 bedrooms, shared en suite shower room, bathroom.

GARDEN AND GROUNDS
Lochornie House is approached from the public road by an entrance which leads to a gravel parking area with areas of lawn either side to the front of the house. To the rear of the house is a lovely courtyard area with covered work area and kennel to the rear of the kitchen. The steading forms an L shape and is largely constructed of stone and offers extensive garaging and storage along with useful workshops/stables. The current owner has had plans drawn up to convert the part of the steading into a separate dwelling house, which would have access to the separate existing shared access to the courtyard. Please contact the selling agents for more information.
The extensive well stocked garden at Lochornie is an absolute delight with a lovely mix of mature plants, trees and shrubs as well as manicured lawns, neat, gravelled driveway and areas of woodland. There is a productive vegetable and fruit garden.
