4 bedroom house

A substantial traditional farmhouse in a beautiful rural position.


Description

A charming farmhouse which in recent years has been improved and developed to create a beautiful and comfortable family home with a highly flexible interior. Built from stone with a slate roof, the accommodation was extended by converting the adjoining steading to create a very versatile property.

Accommodation

A beautifully lit entrance hall gives access to the west wing of the property which includes a double-height drawing room with a large south facing bay window, open fireplace and first floor gallery. An additional bedroom / play room is accessed via the gallery. The drawing room opens to a generous dining room with west facing window. The rear corridor leads to a delightful snug with open fire, a spa suite with a shower, steam room, sauna and double doors leading out to the west-facing deck and solid wood hot tub. A studio/bedroom with en suite WC and a large attached garage complete the west wing. From the entrance hall, which benefits from a WC, in the east wing of the house, is a large farmhouse kitchen with oil fired Stanley range cooker, gas hob, solid wood fitted wall and floor units by Drumoak Kitchens and a central breakfast bar. Off this generous kitchen there is a convenient utility room/cellar and a hall leading to the office, family room (with attractive fireplace and wood burning stove), boot room (with drier cabinet), cloakroom and library, which could also be used as an additional bedroom. Carpeted stairs lead to the first floor landing (which has large storage cupboards) off which are four bedrooms and the family shower room. The principal bedroom is a most impressive 29.5 foot long with walk in dressing room and en suite bathroom. The house is tastefully decorated throughout and has many fine original features including cornicing, open fireplaces, exposed timber beams and excellent built in storage space. The drawing room, farmhouse kitchen, family room and principal bedroom are particularly impressive rooms and together with the spa make Bogairdy House a comfortable and highly versatile family home. The house is zone heated using oil central heating to maximise energy efficiency and is double glazed throughout.
