Believed to date back to the 1930’s, Glenesk is one of a pair of delightful thatched residences designed to emulate a classic period cottage. With a thatched roof and pristine white washed elevations, Glenesk enjoys a wealth of character and charm, but with the wonderful benefit of the spacious and light accommodation traditionally found in 30's houses. Presented in beautiful order, the cottage has been carefully re-arranged and modernised to create a fantastic family house with an ideal layout, comprising big rooms with excellent natural light and a pleasing open outlook across substantial gardens. Thanks to its generous plot, the cottage is set well back from the road behind a deep front garden and there is plenty of room to extend to the side and rear if required (subject to the necessary consents).

A stable door opens to the large glazed Entrance Porch with the original arched front door making a delightful feature. The Entrance Hall boasts solid oak flooring which is laid throughout the majority of the ground floor, giving a sense of continuity and complementing the original panelled doors whilst there is also useful built-in storage under the stairs. The Sitting Room is generously proportioned with its double aspect windows taking full advantage of views over the gardens. A fantastic feature of the house is the large L-shaped Kitchen / Dining / Family Room at the rear of the cottage which is arranged to make the most of the space with two sets of French doors opening to the garden, perfect for dining, relaxing and entertaining. The Kitchen is large, airy and well fitted with a range of units under solid granite worksurfaces and an electric induction cooker. A separate Utility Area provides space for a washing machine and tumble dryer and there is also a separate Cloakroom. To the first floor there are three good size bedrooms; the master bedroom and second bedroom enjoying a most pleasant elevated aspect across the hills. The large, fitted bathroom has a white suite comprising a bath and separate walk-in shower.

Access to the side leads to the substantial rear garden which is laid mainly to lawn with mature boundaries and a further terrace provides an excellent entertaining and dining area. A well placed Summer House enjoys a sunny aspect, with a decked area to the front and light and power connected.
