SUMMARY
Dating back to 1902 and extended in 1985, this delightful detached granite and slate dwellinghouse is located in a picture perfect setting with superb views towards the mountains and hills. Set in a wonderful spot at the end of a cul de sac backing on to the Learney Estate, the location is secluded and peaceful. Remarkably, Heatherlea has been in the same family for 54 years.

When designing the extension, the architect and owner were meticulous to ensure the front façade blended perfectly as one with exacting stone work and stained glass windows. Other features include bay windows, high ceilings, fireplaces and picture rails along with wall and ceiling wood panelling. A charming former coach house has great potential, subject to the necessary consents, to be either a home office, ancillary accommodation or a stable block if required.
