The impressive stone façade, adorned with distinctive period features including large double-glazed mullion windows, ornate stonework, and classic architectural detailing, immediately conveys the quality and character that define this exceptional property.

A welcoming front entrance door opens into a charming porch area, leading through to the bright entrance hallway where you'll find a convenient ground-floor cloakroom with W.C. A graceful archway guides you into the inner hall, from which doors open to reveal the study/dining room, the elegant living room, and the heart of the home - a spacious, light-filled kitchen.

The kitchen features a practical side entrance half-glazed door and showcases an extensive range of sleek, contemporary, high-gloss base and wall cupboards, including impressive full-height larder units that offer abundant storage.

The living room is a wonderfully spacious and comfortable retreat, bathed in natural light from characterful mullion windows at the front. Rich wooden flooring flows underfoot, while a handsome period fireplace takes pride of place, housing a crackling wood-burning stove that promises cosy winter evenings. Elegant painted panelling adorns the walls, and a deep, inviting window seat overlooks the sun-drenched south-facing garden, creating an irresistibly warm and welcoming space for relaxation and gathering. Tucked off the living room is a cosy, intimate study or dining room - the perfect sanctuary for curling up with a good book or dining with friends and family.

An elegant dog-leg staircase rises gracefully to the first-floor sitting area with large mullion windows offering views to nearby mountains.  From here, three well-proportioned bedrooms and a modern family shower room await. The stunning principal bedroom is a true highlight, with its charming mullion windows framing picturesque views of the pretty gardens below, complemented by the luxury of a private en-suite shower room.

EXTERIOR

The property enjoys a dramatic arrival, approached via a sweeping driveway that meanders gracefully through a leafy, tree-lined avenue, creating a sense of seclusion and anticipation before opening onto a generous gravelled parking and turning area with ample space for multiple vehicles. The house benefits from the best of both worlds - its own private garden sanctuary and privileged access to the spectacular communal lawns and grounds that surround this exceptional property.

The meticulously maintained communal gardens are truly breathtaking, extending to approximately 2.5 acres of verdant grounds that feel like your own private estate. Predominantly laid to sweeping expanses of lawn, they are thoughtfully landscaped with established mature shrubs and vibrant seasonal flower borders that provide year-round colour and visual interest. Meandering gravelled pathways invite leisurely exploration and peaceful strolls, while beautifully sculpted ornamental hedging adds architectural structure and timeless charm.
