SELLERS INSIGHT "Roundwood House was originally purchased for ourselves and my Mother-in-Law. We completely renovated the property over three years and it has been a wonderful home, we shall miss everything about it in particular the sitting room, the beautiful views and our natural pond. The house has very generous and spacious accommodation which is something we no longer need so have decided to downsize.
It is believed that Roundwood House and the village had a famous visitor from time to time. This was Robert Louis Stevenson, the Scottish novelist, essayist, poet and travel writer. He is best known for works such as Treasure Island, Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Kidnapped and A Child's Garden of Verses." 

STEP INSIDE A most appealing countryside residence with great character. The property is superbly presented and includes a wealth of character throughout the many different rooms which are full of welcoming charm. The property is fundamentally two homes in one. The annex has two bedrooms, a full bathroom, a sitting room with inglenook fireplace, a kitchen with dining area and garden room with access to a patio and garden. The kitchen includes fridge/freezer, washing machine and dishwasher.
Moving onto the principal rooms of the cottage there is fabulous sitting room with exposed brickwork, timbers, and beams with a splendid inglenook fireplace with an impressive wood burning stove to warm the family on a chilly evening. The adjoining dining room also boasts a striking inglenook which is most impressive. One of the three staircases in the home weaves its way up and round the fireplace leading to three glorious double bedrooms with character and stunning views. There is another full bathroom with separate shower. A second staircase takes you back to the principal sitting room. The kitchen is accessed from the dining room. This is fully fitted with a selection of floor and wall cabinets providing plenty of storage. There are solid wood preparation counters over, a Butler sink, a large range stove, and integrated appliances which include dishwasher, fridge, and freezer. 

STEP OUTSIDE The property sits on a large plot (approx.0.5 acre) and is fronted by a sweeping carriage driveway. There is a large garage with a utility to the rear, garden WC for when entertaining outdoors, and a large wood store. Roundwood House sits amongst mature grounds with a natural pond and dining terraces. It is a simply engaging setting.

The two homes have their own heating systems so there are two oil tanks discreetly positioned in the grounds.
