Property description

A four bedroom detached house, dating back to the 17th century, requiring refurbishment and set in secluded grounds of around 5 acres.

The property is located in a private and rural position in the hamlet of Owlswick and was originally two farm labourers' cottages with stone and brickwork detailing to the external elevations. It is not a listed building. Later additions were added to create 1,911 sq. ft. of accommodation including a quadruple aspect kitchen/breakfast room overlooking the formal gardens. The outbuildings require some renovation and include a double garage, a carport, two stables, a store and a plant room/changing room for the swimming pool. The property has the potential for further development and remodelling including ancillary accommodation, subject to the relevant planning consent. There is also the potential for further equestrian facilities.

Ground Floor

The kitchen/breakfast room is in excess of 21 ft. in length and there are three reception rooms including two with inglenook fireplaces and the third which is triple aspect with a glazed door to the formal garden. There is also a forward projecting entrance porch and a two piece cloakroom.

First Floor

On the first floor, there are three double bedrooms and one single bedroom. The master suite is dual aspect with built-in wardrobes and has access to a modern, fully tiled shower room. There is an additional, modern, fully tiled family shower room.

Outside

The property is screened from the road and approached through a tree lined driveway. Electric gates open to the house. There is a formal garden at the rear which has a centrally positioned heated swimming pool with a modern lining. There are a further four acres of separately enclosed paddocks. The remaining grounds are lined with mature trees including flowering cherry, blue cedar and fruit bearing.
