General Description
Peacefully nestled along a quiet country lane in the charming hamlet of Lucklawhill, The Pines presents a rare and desirable opportunity for those seeking a rural lifestyle without compromising on space or comfort. Approached via a gated driveway bordered by mature hedging and wrapping around a well-tended front garden, this welcoming home opens into a bright and airy entrance vestibule, leading into a carpeted hallway. To the right and entered through elegant French doors, a beautifully light-filled living room awaits, enjoying a south and east-facing aspect with captivating views across the garden and surrounding landscape. With direct access to the rear garden, the space effortlessly merges indoor and outdoor living, creating a delightful ambience. Plush carpeting, neutral décor, and a charming log-burning stove further enhance its appeal. Across the hall, the bright and good-sized kitchen overlooks the front garden and features grey wall and floor cabinetry, white worktops, and a convenient breakfast bar. Thoughtfully laid out with ample space for freestanding appliances, it looks into the dining room, where large windows frame picturesque views of the garden and rolling countryside. Offering a versatility of uses, the carpeted dining room leads into the integral double garage. Completing the ground floor is a comfortable double bedroom positioned to the rear and a guest WC. On the first floor, the generously proportioned principal double bedroom with built-in wardrobes enjoys plentiful natural light and south-westerly views. In addition, there is a study and two further bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes and large VELUX windows. Rounding off the first floor is a stylish modern bathroom equipped with a bath, WC, and washbasin set against chic white metro tiles.

EXTERIOR
The enclosed gardens lying to the front and rear are a true delight. To the front, the west- facing garden enclosed by established hedging is mainly laid to mature lawn, whilst at the rear, an expansive lawn seems to almost blend with the surrounding countryside. Interspersed with trees, it offers an exceptional outdoor space for friends and family to enjoy.

An integral double garage with power and a gated driveway provides off-street parking.
