Description

Yvonne Fitzgerald is delighted to bring to the market this superb country cottage which has its own 9-hole course in the settlement of Barrock. Offering flexible and comfortable accommodation over one level, this lovely home benefits from a welcoming and bright lounge with an enclosed coal fire. There is a wooden fitted kitchen which is of good proportions and has excellent cupboard space as well as room for a table and chairs. The family bathroom has a shower above the bath and there are also three bedrooms which have been tastefully decorated.

To the rear of this well-presented home are two large barns which are ideal for livestock as well as a stone-built store. There is a caravan with raised decking in the rear garden which has been upgraded and benefits from having two bedrooms which would be ideal for using as holiday accommodation.

The 9-hole golf course has been well maintained and benefits from having trees planted which will thrive and give shelter in years to come. The land extends to 6 acres and also includes garden ground which is mainly laid to lawn with hedging, trees, some flowers and a pergola seating area. There is plenty of parking in the generous driveway which is also located to the front of this character home.

Barrock is a small settlement located between the villages of Mey and Castletown. There is a church close by and schooling can be obtained nearby at Crossroads Primary School. The village of Castletown is a four-mile car journey away, and provides a good range of facilities such as a butchers shop, a convenience store, hotel and takeaways. A short drive away is Dunnet which has a beautiful sandy beach and a forest which is ideal for walks.
