4 bedroom house

*CLOSING DATE WEDNESDAY 7TH APRIL AT 12 NOON*
An impressive, stone built four bedroom detached Victorian period house with an abundance of character and magnificent features, with private garden grounds and 3.5 acres of paddock.
Braefit provides an attractive traditional detached family home with versatile and wonderfully proportioned accommodation benefitting from many attractive features, including high ceilings, ornate cornicing, original fireplaces as well as traditional double hung sash and case windows, hardwood panelled doors and period ironmongery.
A secure gated driveway leads through the front garden grounds with parking for several vehicles. The main front door opens into a vestibule which in turns opens into a striking hallway giving access to the ground floor accommodation and a magnificent staircase leading to the upper floor. The drawing room is set to the front of the house and is of very generous proportions with a marvellous bay window and an open fire with lovely tiled inset and beautiful wooden mantlepiece giving the room a cosy, homely feel, with stunning cornicing and a ceiling rose. A further spacious lounge is also set to the front, again with a large window allowing for plenty of natural light, beautiful cornicing and an open fire with tiled hearth and decorative mantle. To the rear, a door opens into the bright kitchen area with a window to the side overlooking the fields and a further door gives access to a spacious pantry/kitchen again with a window to the side, allowing for a dining area. A small hallway to the rear of the pantry leads to a contemporary shower room, which is nicely fitted with a shower cubicle and mains shower, wc and wash hand basin, stylish wet boards and a window to the rear. A useful utility room is situated to the side, with space for a washing machine, tumble dryer and storage, and there is also a door from the hallway which leads to the rear garden grounds. The upper floor has a split landing from which all bedrooms are accessed as well as a bathroom comprising free-standing bath, wash hand basin and separate wc to the rear. All of the bedrooms are well proportioned double rooms with sash and case windows providing wonderful views over the open countryside and village beyond, and they all benefit from attractive original fireplaces with decorative tiling and surrounds.

OUTSIDE: There are large resplendent garden grounds surrounding the house with a secure hedged lawn to the front and a pathway which wraps around the house and leads to the rear garden area. A further area of lawn is situated to the rear, bordered partly by hedging, fencing and stone-built walls as well as a single garage, garden store and further timber sheds within the grounds adjacent to the house. Well-tended and easily maintained with flowering plants and shrubs, the garden grounds are private and not overlooked and are a haven for anyone looking to enjoy a semi-rural lifestyle, families and equestrian enthusiasts but could easily be altered by a keen gardener who may wish to grow their own fruits and vegetables. There is a total of 3.5 acres of paddock ground to either side of the house, ideal for grazing livestock.
