A charming Grade II listed property in a desirable location with rural views
Mount Alyn Gatehouse is a captivating Grade II listed period residence. Having Gothic revival gate posts of carved stone originally forming the entrance to Mount Alyn, the country seat of Alexander Balfour. Thoughtfully modernised and sympathetically enhanced by its current owners. Nestled in an elevated position, the property enjoys sweeping views across the picturesque rural landscape.
Approached via a long private drive the property occupies a slightly elevated position in a mature garden setting from which there are attractive views of the surrounding countryside. The home benefits from a generous parking area and a spacious log cabin. Entry is through a charming wooden latch gate, leading along a paved garden path to the heart of the home, a beautifully appointed kitchen featuring an array of high quality fitted units and integrated appliances.
Adjacent to the kitchen lies a welcoming lounge and dining area, complete with bi-folding doors that open seamlessly onto the garden and terrace, creating a harmonious indoor outdoor living experience. The inner hallway, with its central staircase and convenient WC/cloakroom, leads to a cosy snug with a log burner, and a well-proportioned sitting room boasting a feature fireplace, dual aspect windows, and further bi-folding doors to the terrace.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom is a true retreat, offering built-in wardrobes and stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The first floor also hosts a luxurious family bathroom with a roll top bath and separate shower, two additional double bedrooms, a versatile fourth bedroom currently used as a home office, and a separate shower room.
Outside, the property has delightful enclosed garden, predominantly laid to lawn and bordered by an attractive brick wall. The garden provides ample space for alfresco dining and entertaining, making it a perfect setting for enjoying the charm of this lovely home.
The owners have renovated the property very tastefully and must be viewed to be appreciated.
