Characterful lochside family home.
Dene Hard is a fine family home of great character, the extended and converted coach house dates from around 1840 with flexible accommodation over two floors.
A substantial wooden front door opens to a vestibule leading to the main reception hallway which accesses most of the ground floor rooms. All of the accommodation on this level is centred around a formal courtyard. From the reception hallway a glass door leads into the sitting room with wood panelling, a fireplace with book shelves, windows to the front and a door opening into the sunroom to the side. At the heart of the house is the wonderful drawing room with a five pane oriel bay window with window seat, fireplace, wooden beamed ceiling and stunning views. The dining room mirrors the same features along with polished wooden floorboards. There is also a versatile study/ playroom to the front of the house. The well equipped kitchen has windows overlooking the courtyard and benefits from a good range of floor and wall units, a Stanley range cooker, shelving and a walk in pantry cupboard. There is also an open plan bright breakfast area. A door leads to an additional hallway with access to a family room, utility, and WC; subject to obtaining planning consent, this part of the house has potential to be a self-contained annexe, for Airbnb or extended family use. A workshop and cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes and also a dressing room off. There are a further four double bedrooms, a family bathroom and shower room.
The gardens at Dene Hard are wonderful, with a stream running through and extending to around 1 acre. They are mainly laid to grass with mature trees and shrubs. The property benefits from the use of a slipway and boat house (requiring upgrading), plus a double garage. There is a mooring which is rented from the Crown Estate which could be passed to the new owner.
