Attractive, extended and conveniently located country house.
Glen of Craigo is a very conveniently located and pretty country house, dating from 1857. There is a date stone over the front door. It was originally a farmhouse on the local estate, and was extended in 2014, with a wing to the rear which includes a wonderful upstairs living room, with fabulous views north to the hills, as well as a useful integral garage, shower room and utility room downstairs. Attractively built of stone, with a slate roof and a harled extension, the house faces south and is double glazed. It has gardens to the front and rear and a large gravelled parking area to the side, from which access is directly available to both side entrance doors.
A glazed door from the front garden opens to a hallway with a cornice, picture and dado rails, and a staircase to the first floor with an under stair cupboard. To one side is a dining room overlooking the garden with a cornice, recessed display shelves, a fireplace with wooden mantel and two wall lights. On the other side is a sitting room, again overlooking the garden and with a cornice, recessed shelves with a cupboard and a fireplace housing a cosy wood burning stove. Off this is an office with window shutters and shelves, and a walk in cupboard with coat hooks and shelves. A downstairs bathroom has a bath, wash basin and WC. A lobby links the hallway to the kitchen and has a side entrance door. The fitted kitchen has wooden wall and base units and ample space for informal dining. Appliances include a two oven AGA, double sink unit and a Bosch dishwasher. There is a clothes pulley, a tiled floor and a walk in shelved larder. A side hallway links to the new part of the house and the integral garage, and has a further entrance door, tiled floor and a walk in storage cupboard. Off this is a utility room with fitted units, Ideal Mexico boiler, sink, Zanussi washing machine and a door to the garden, together with a shower room with shower, pedestal wash basin and WC.
Stairs lead up to the magnificent double aspect upstairs living room, which has a glazed gable end framing the fabulous views, together with a multi fuel burning stove and American dark walnut flooring. The front stairs lead to a landing and bedrooms one and two, both with built in wardrobes, with bedroom one being double aspect. There is also a box room/dressing room. Stairs from the lobby with storage cupboards lead up to bedroom three which has a built in hanging cupboard.
The integral garage has an automatic up and over door. The front garden is enclosed by hedges and is mainly lawn with pretty flower and shrub borders and a paved seating area. There is a wooden garden shed (2.3m x 1.8m approx.). Behind the house is a further area of garden with decking with an octagonal wooden summer house (3m x 3m approx.) and a hot tub. Beyond is a vegetable garden with raised planters and frames and a former greenhouse.
