Originally a farmworker's cottage dating from the 1800s, Muirybutts has been in its current ownership since 1973. It has been extended and refurbished over the years and now forms a more substantial five-bedroom house. The property is wonderfully private being surrounded by open fields. It is approached by a private driveway which is lined on one side with chestnut trees. The house has a pretty front door between its two south facing bay windows, but the main entrance is now at the rear of the house where there is a large and practical utility/boot room which has lots of storage. Beside the utility room is a WC and a small hall which leads into the original part of the house. Here there is a sitting room with a large mantel and a wood burning stove forming a cosy focal point. Adjacent is the dining kitchen which has modern kitchen appliances set in amongst more rustic timber units. It also has a walk-in pantry/larder. Both the kitchen and the sitting room have prominent bay windows with window seats and space for dining tables. On the west side of the sitting room is a large bright double bedroom which has a door to the garden and an en suite shower room.

Stairs from the sitting room lead upstairs to four further bedrooms. Bedroom 1 is situated in the rear extension. It is a lovely bright room with windows on three sides and an en suite shower room. Bedroom 2 overlooks the front of the house and bedrooms three and four are charming single bedrooms. These three bedrooms share a family bathroom. All the bedrooms have been refurbished and redecorated in the last few years.

Outside
Muirybutts sits in about 0.5 acres (including the driveway). There is a gravel parking area to the west of the house and a delightful south facing front garden with a herbaceous border and two mature apple trees. The rear garden is mainly down to lawn enclosed by a stone wall and with lovely views to the north.

Outbuildings
A useful garden store is situated in the back garden. It is whitewashed, with a window, a slate roof and a blue painted door to match the house.
