DESCRIPTION
Designed by the highly regarded local architect James McLaren, and believed to date from circa 1853, beautiful Mount Rosa is an impressive yet comfortable B listed stone Italianate villa offering charming and extensive period accommodation in a wonderfully private setting. The property has undergone a comprehensive renovation by the current owner and includes new double glazed windows, insulation, kitchen, bathroom and shower rooms, modern LED lighting, oak internal doors and skirtings, new state of the art heating system and high quality flooring throughout.

The current owners have loving restored the house and its grounds over the past couple of years to create a glorious family home. True to the history of the building, the current occupiers have worked tirelessly to respect and preserve the original features, while bringing the house up to the high specifications expected in the 21st century. From the moment you enter the gates, the property is imbued with the calm elegance of a bygone age. Large trees and rolling lawns lead to the impressive front door. The interior has been refurbished in timeless style throughout to give a sense of light and space. Great care has been taken to source appropriate materials, with deep oak skirting boards and doors, Amtico tiled floors and the gentle colour scheme lends a feeling of quiet sophistication commensurate with the dignity of the property.

While the house has been carefully brought back to its original intention, no effort has been spared to ensure the efficiency and comfort demanded by more modern residents. Clever lighting, a new hot water system and a state of the art kitchen make living in Mount Rosa a joy for today’s family.

Externally the house is built of fine stone under a slate roof with its generous accommodation centred around the main hall and staircase. There are three lovely main reception rooms at ground floor level as well as a sizeable conservatory with Amtico flooring and new window blinds. Completing the ground floor is the spacious newly fitted breakfasting kitchen with integrated NEFF appliances, a guest bedroom, laundry, boiler room with new heating system, shower room and further ancillary accommodation, which provides the flexibility for modern living. The property benefits from a hardwired Wi-Fi system as well a “Hikvision” entry system controlling all the electric gates to ensure security and privacy.

Upstairs there are five well-proportioned bedrooms together with study, family bathroom, separate shower room and hall.
