DESCRIPTION
Edenshead Stables was built around 2005 on the site of a ruined stables. Prior to the rebuild project only the archway and surrounding walls were in existence, and it was then rebuilt to create the exceptional courtyard property that exists today. Where possible the original walls were retained, but it was largely rebuilt on much of the footprint of the original structure, although some of the original stone was used on the new build sections.
The current owners have done much to modernise the house and create a comfortable family home, with improvements including the upgrading of the kitchen and main en suite and carrying out significant landscaping work to maximise the views over the River Eden to the Lomond Hills in distance.

The house benefits from hardwood doors and there is hardwood flooring in the drawing room and parts of the dining room. The kitchen/breakfast room has been partially remodelled, and benefits from Silestone worktops and quality floor tiles as well as an oil fired Aga and the good range of integral appliances include a NEFF microwave fan oven and warming drawer. The principal bedroom’s en suite bathroom benefits from electric under floor heating as well as duel fuel towel rail.
The house is approached from the east by an archway, surmounted by a weather vane that leads into a central monobloc courtyard and to a protruding entrance porch. From the reception hall, a door leads off to a dining room, WC, drawing room and sitting room as well as the spacious kitchen/breakfast room. The drawing room has a flame effect LPG fire as well as south facing glazed double doors leading out to the garden. A broad corridor leads off to the primary bedroom accommodation, which comprises three spacious bedrooms with en suite shower rooms and excellent storage.

Situated off the kitchen/breakfast room is a utility room as well as bedroom 5/dressing room and principal bedroom with en suite bathroom (which also connects through to bedroom 5/dressing room).
