Description

Glengarf presents a rare opportunity to purchase a charming traditional cottage, nestled in the highly desirable semi-rural setting of Hillend.

Positioned slightly elevated and set back from the main road, this attractive family home offers generous accommodation across the ground floor and attic level, with flexible options for reconfiguration or renovation to suit individual needs.

The layout includes three well-proportioned reception rooms and three spacious double bedrooms. Upon entry through a welcoming foyer, you’re greeted by a sizeable living room to the left, featuring a beautiful bay window, high ceilings, and a central log burner—perfect for cosy evenings. To the right, the second bedroom is bright and airy, with generous natural light and a useful storage cupboard.

The principal bedroom benefits from a practical en-suite shower room, while bedroom three enjoys peaceful views over the private, south-west-facing rear garden, screened by mature hedging. The large family bathroom sits between these rooms and includes a full-size bath, complemented by a window that fills the space with sunlight.

The kitchen, accessible via both the living and dining room, is well-equipped, offering an excellent selection of base and wall units, complemented by tiled surrounds and integrated appliances. Two sizeable storage cupboards provide ideal space for a pantry. The dining room is generously sized, easily accommodating a large dining table. With four double glazed windows, the room is bathed in natural light throughout the day. A beautiful garden room offers an ideal reception space to enjoy the sunshine, while also serving as a convenient area for children to play or watch television, all within easy reach of the kitchen and dining area. Two generous storage cupboards provide excellent space for keeping toys and household essentials neatly organised.

Storage is plentiful in this property, the well-insulated attic lined with wooden panels provides generous space that’s perfect for storage or easily adaptable as a workshop or creative studio. This spacious room can be accessed via an ideal ramsay ladder but a staircase could easily be added to provide easy access to additional accommodation on the first floor.

Outside, the property is surrounded by extensive wrap-around gardens, mainly laid to lawn and dotted with mature trees and shrubs, offering a tranquil and private outdoor setting. An accommodating patio area is perfect for family barbeques and appreciating the glorious surroundings. A substantial driveway provides off-street parking for multiple vehicles and leads to a single garage.
