Family home in a beautiful rural yet accessible hamlet.
The Glebe is a charming and highly practical family house situated in about 1.25 acres of beautiful mature gardens and grounds. Whilst built in the style of a traditional manse, the house was constructed in 1995 in what was the glebe field for The Old Kirk which lies over a field away to the east of the hamlet.
The accommodation at The Glebe is well-presented with a very logical yet flexible layout. The house is approached from the front, via the front door which leads into a porch. The principal ground floor rooms sit off the central hall. The kitchen / breakfast room has lovely views over the fields to the north, and the garden to the south, with the hills beyond. It has a central island with breakfast bar and integrated appliances including a Maytag American style fridge freezer, Neff microwave, Bosch dishwasher and De Dietrich oven with induction hob. French doors open onto the south facing decked terrace overlooking the garden. A door connects to the dining room, which could make an ideal playroom for young families as the kitchen is large enough to hold a dining table. Glazed double doors lead into the sitting room with log burning stove, and a further set of double doors opens into the south facing conservatory which looks out onto the garden. Other ground floor rooms include a study which could also be a downstairs bedroom, two WCs, and a utility room with pantry cupboard and a door into the integral garage.
The principal bedroom has a superb southerly aspect and a walk-through dressing room with an en suite shower room beyond. There are three further double bedrooms, one of which has an en suite shower room and fitted wardrobes. One of the other two has a dressing room and wardrobe. The family bathroom has a bath and a separate shower. A hatch with Ramsay ladder accesses the loft space above. This has three south facing dormer windows, and, subject to the necessary consents and the addition of a staircase, could become a bedroom, games room or home office.
The mature gardens and grounds at The Glebe are truly spectacular, and extend to about 1.23 acres in all. The driveway passes through gates and leads up to the front of the house where there is a gravelled parking area and access to the integral double garage. This has electric roller doors, room for workbenches and floored attic space above which could have potential as additional accommodation (subject to the necessary consents).
There is a beautiful front garden enclosed by a stone wall, but the principal garden sits to the rear of The Glebe and is overlooked by a large timber decked terrace accessed from the kitchen and the conservatory. There is an array of trees and shrubs including apple, plum, silver birch, acer, holm oak and rhododendrons, as well as vegetable beds. It also features a large pond overlooked by timber decking. Outhouses include a greenhouse, potting shed, polytunnel, tool shed and hen house with run.
