Description

Norah Nesland of REMAX Evolution is delighted to present this rare opportunity to purchase this impressive steading conversion set within a stunning location. Tucked away in a peaceful and picturesque location surrounded by open countryside, with forestry walks and hacking routes literally on the doorstep, this beautifully converted steading offers a rare combination of character and space - ideal for those seeking a genuine country retreat without compromising on family living or equestrian / small holding pursuits.

This detached steading conversion has been thoughtfully finished to a high standard, retaining bags of original character while offering bright, versatile accommodation throughout. There's also excellent scope to extend further into the attached remainder of the steading (subject to the necessary consents) presenting a fantastic opportunity for a growing family or someone looking to add further value.

At the heart of the home is a large open plan kitchen, dining and family room - a wonderfully sociable space warmed by a cosy wood burner. A separate, well proportioned living room provides a further room in which to relax.

There are three double bedrooms and a single, with two of these enjoying lovely dual-aspect views over both the front and rear. A family bathroom, separate shower room, and a well-fitted utility room complete the practical, family friendly layout.

Included in the sale: Hot tub, Range cooker, freezer, large and small fridges, dishwasher, tumble dryer and washing machine.

Outside

The property is approached via a supremely large driveway and parking area, extending to the front and side of the property. A triple garage with a floored loft room above and an attached WC offers outstanding storage or further development potential (subject to consent).

The mature, beautifully maintained gardens are mainly laid to lawn with a fenced play area. The hot tub is ideal for unwinding after a day outdoors and the patio provides a lovely place for al fresco dining.

The land extends to approx 9 acres in total. For horse owners, this property is exceptional. An L-shaped stable block provides 5–6 stables, complemented by a large field, a paddock, and a fenced outdoor school with a bark surface - everything needed to keep horses at home in comfort, with hacking routes and forestry tracks right on the doorstep.

A truly special property - spacious, characterful family accommodation, extension potential, beautiful private gardens, and outstanding equestrian facilities, all set within a tranquil countryside location.

Oil fired under-floor and radiator heating throughout. Drainage via private septic tank. Private water from borehole located within property boundary.
