Description

Part of a former steading conversion, accessed via a private driveway, The Byre, Waterlair is a fabulous mix of character and charm with all the benefits of mod-cons. Located in a beautifully tranquil setting, this welcoming single-storey cottage is surprisingly spacious. The rooms are a good size, and there is plenty of storage space. The Byre benefits from double glazing and underfloor heating throughout. The master bedroom has an ensuite shower room and a dressing area. There are two further double bedrooms (one currently being used as an office and one as an art room), making The Byre suitable for a wide range of home buyers; families, first-time buyers, couples, retirees - this really is a lovely opportunity for anyone seeking a peaceful rural home with easy access to amenities. All of the usual fixtures and fittings are included but ‘white goods’ (fridge-freezer, washing machine and dryer) could also be included under negotiation.
