Staney Gill is a superb, detached house and it is believed that this property was originally three cottages and now offers spacious accommodation with a flexible layout. Staney Gill has original character features throughout including stone flag flooring, exposed beams, original fireplaces and a spiral stone staircase. On the ground floor is a large sitting room, this is an impressive reception room with a conservatory to the South enjoying the views over the valley. There is a utility room/WC to the rear. The family dining kitchen leads through to a dining room with traditional Inglenook fireplace and bread oven, from this room a spiral stone staircase leads up to the games room. The snug is the third reception room and has another spiral staircase up to the studio.
Upstairs the accommodation is flexible, having three separate staircases. There are 4/5 good double bedrooms, all of which have lovely views out to the front and overlook open fields across the valley. There are two ensuites, a family bathroom and separate WC. On the first floor is a rear utility room which has access out to the road.
Adjacent to the property is Highgate House, a detached property which was bought by the current owners around 30 years ago. The property has been split with the ground floor being a joiners workshop with a pleasant one bedroom apartment above. Beneath the property is a vaulted store room with cobbled floor. This property could easily revert to a standalone house and would make a great investment holiday cottage, creating an additional income or ideal for dependant relative.
Outside, to the front is a gated grassed area that could allow parking for 2-3 vehicles. There are private patio areas to the rear with long distance views down the valley.
Both properties are in need of some internal modernisation, works which may include updates to decoration, new kitchens, bathrooms and electrics.
This property is a superb family, investment, or active retirement home with potential for a holiday cottage business.
