About this property

  • Crosshill House is a particularly attractive B-Listed property situated in a beautiful south facing location beside the Machany Water. The house has retained lots of its original character; the drawing room, study and dining room are all positioned on the south side of the house with open fireplaces and large windows overlooking the garden. The study also has French windows out to the terrace. The kitchen is a welcoming farmhouse style kitchen with a double Belfast sink and four door AGA as well as a gas range cooker. It has a large central island and a window seat. The kitchen links to the informal sitting/dining room with wood burning stove and French windows to the east side of the garden. Also on the ground floor is a large utility/boot room, WC and office. Upstairs the property has five bedrooms and two bathrooms. Crosshill would benefit from some refurbishment and has potential to be an enormously comfortable, practical and beautiful home.

    Outside
    Crosshill is approached by its 180 metre long private driveway which arrives at a parking area on the north side of the house. Here there is access to both the front and back doors. The property sits in just over 2 acres of garden which is mainly laid out to the south side of the house. A herbaceous border wraps around a pretty paved terrace and wisteria climbs the walls of the house, while an expanse of lawn stretches down towards the Machany Water. A vegetable garden, young fruit bushes and mature fruit trees are some of the features in the garden.
