DESCRIPTION
33-35 Kirkland Street as the name suggest was originally two cottages. Today it forms a stylish home with a real country house feel. The elegant sitting room has plenty of room for cosy evenings by the fire as well as hosting family gatherings and social occasions. In the summer months glazed doors lead out to the patio, bringing the outside in and allowing parties to spill out into the warm evenings. The generous dining kitchen opens to the garden room from where the amazing garden can be enjoyed. A dual aspect ground floor bedroom and shower room provide lateral living if required and a generous bedroom on the first floor is complemented by the family bathroom complete with rolltop bath. Above the sitting room accessed via its own staircase is large attic room which lends itself to a number of uses. With the appropriate permissions, a new owner could extend the living accommodation to both ground and first floors into the very generous grounds behind the house, whilst still leaving a very large garden to be enjoyed.

33-35 Kirkland Street would make a lovely characterful family home, but could equally serve as a second home or holiday rental property. This is a great opportunity to acquire a versatile village home in the heart of the beautiful Glenkens.
