Description
A rare opportunity to purchase a charming Duke of Sutherland residence together with a detached two-bedroom cottage, all set within around half an acre of beautifully kept gardens enjoying delightful open views. Providing an excellent opportunity for extended family to live within the same grounds or as a welcome additional income stream.
The main house offers generous, flexible accommodation arranged over two floors, while the cottage provides excellent potential for multi-generational living, guest accommodation or rental income.
The main residence features an inviting entrance hall, leading to a choice of welcoming reception spaces. The sitting room and separate lounge, complete with an attractive brick fireplace, offer cosy areas to relax, while the impressive open-plan living/dining/kitchen forms the heart of the home creating both a practical and sociable family space. A useful laundry/utility room completes the ground floor layout.
Upstairs, the property continues to impress. The principal bedroom suite enjoys wonderful views and a well-fitted en-suite bathroom. The generous second bedroom also has an ensuite shower room, plus three additional double bedrooms (one currently used as a dressing room), provide excellent accommodation for a large family. A modern family bathroom with bath and separate shower serves the remaining rooms.
The detached two-bedroom cottage is equally appealing, offering a contemporary dining kitchen, a comfortable lounge opening into a bright garden room via bifold doors, a laundry room and two spacious double bedrooms.
Outside, the property sits behind an extensive driveway with ample parking. The gardens have been thoughtfully landscaped, featuring lawned areas, mature planting and an external garden room, perfect for home working, hobbies or quiet relaxation.
This exceptional home successfully blends period charm with modern comforts, and enjoys a peaceful rural setting in Weston Heath while remaining convenient for nearby amenities and transport links.
The property benefits from LPG central heating, with waste water managed via a private septic tank.
