Description
Victoria House is a charming red brick, family home with blue slate roof. A historical plaque displayed in the brickwork stipulates it was built in 1890 and the beautiful period features throughout the property certainly reflects this. Although in a conservation area, Victoria House isn't listed, something the current vendors have been able to fully take advantage of in the form of the stable conversion in 2006.
Approaching Victoria House, you enter under a welcoming porch complete with roof lantern and original tiling, through a beautiful door with glass inlay into the reception hall which is flooded with natural light and boasts high ceilings. Oak effect flooring has been sympathetically installed to flow with the original wooden flooring that remains.
To the right hand side is a study with large front aspect, feature fireplace and original wooden flooring. Opposite is the drawing room enjoying dual aspect views through windows quintessential to the era of the property. A feature fireplace with slate surround creates the focal point of the room.
Drawing further into the home there is a light and bright sitting room with working fireplace which, facing south-east, is flooded with morning sunlight.
There is a useful utility room and downstairs WC, where there is also drainage for a shower to be installed. Adjacent to this is the garden room with doors onto the dining terrace which wraps around the back of the property. Not wanting in storage, there is a large pantry room and cupboard under the stairs, near to which is side door access to the driveway.
The original quarry tiled flooring can also be found in the breakfast kitchen, with units and décor indicative of the countryside style with cream AGA and Belfast sink. Undulating countryside views frame either side of the chimney breast. The kitchen flows past the chimney into the 2006 converted stables which have been lovingly transformed into an impressive dining room boasting vaulted, beam ceiling triple aspect and double doors out onto the dining terrace.
A convenient boot room and gardeners toilet, converted from the old coal bunker, completes the ground floor of this family home.
Alighting the stairs to the partial landing, to the rear of the home is a family bathroom with built in storage, airing cupboard, bath and separate shower. Cleverly, there is a window above the door allowing natural light into the hallway which leads to a double bedroom with original sash windows, a feature highlighted throughout the entire property.
Stairs rise further to the front of the property. From the main landing, to the left hand side is a double bedroom with built in storage and feature fireplace adjacent to which is another double bedroom with front aspect and fully loft laddered access to a partly boarded attic space. Central to the front of the property is a single bedroom with sash window. A further double with front aspect is off the main landing. Concluding the living accommodation of this family home is the Principal Suite with feature fireplace and ensuite with free-standing roll top bath, separate shower and double sink installation in 2019.

Outside
Turning into Victoria House, the block paved entrance opens out into a large lawned front garden and a generous gravel driveway leading to an open, oak double garage port with blue slate roof. A 5 bar gate ensures the side access is secured. The front borders of the property are softened by mature hedging and trees offering privacy set far back from the road.
Following through the side access, you enter the rear gardens which benefit from sunshine throughout the majority of the day. Stunning countryside views form the backdrop to the gardens. A lawn and woodshed run along the north aspect of the properties grounds and opposite is a newly refurbished shed surrounded by flowers beds and box hedging. An arbour leads to the principal lawn behind which is both a tennis pavilion and tennis court. Back towards the house, a dining terrace sweeps all around the rear of the property, a key feature is the sunken hot tub positioned perfectly to take in the views. To the right hand side of the grounds is a second lawned area that wraps around the back of the tennis courts up to the boarder with arable land. There is also a further terrace benefitting from the evening sunshine with a walled garden featuring raised beds.

The Barn
The Barn at Victoria House has been beautifully renovated. Entered from the dining terrace of Indian slate, the open plan living accommodation is flooded with natural light with windows featured all down the side of the property, emphasising the charming countryside views.
The kitchen has fully integrated; dishwasher, washing machine and wine cooler and also features a breakfast bar. There is a large area that could easily house a dining table, this flows into the sitting room which has two sets of bifold doors out onto the garden terrace. A useful cloakroom completes the downstairs.
Stairs lead to a bright landing with skylights established in the pitch of the roof between expose beams, and storage cleverly designed under the eaves. To the right is a double bedroom with Juliet Balcony ensuring maximum enjoyment of the views, complete with ensuite shower room with heated towel rail. To the left is another double bedroom with ensuite. Both rooms are fresh and bright having been redecorated in 2020.
The Barn has been used as a successful air bnb endeavour and is currently rented out to tenants.
