A charming detached period cottage with lovely large gardens in the peaceful village of Uploders, within the beautiful Asker Valley

The Property - Killock Cottage is a charming detached period cottage with lovely large rear gardens, in the sought after and peaceful village of Uploders, surrounded by beautiful countryside. It is estimated to date back over 250 years with attractive stone elevations and has the immense benefit of not being listed. The property was formerly two cottages, which were converted into one dwelling some 25 years ago. Since that time a whole number of improvements and updating has been carried out, bringing it up to a good modernised condition.

Modern amenities include LPG gas-fired central heating, uPVC windows/doors, solid wood painted kitchen with oak worktops and stoneware sink, plus slot-in electric cooker, ground floor wet room and first floor bathroom with mains shower, together with built-in wardrobes to the bedrooms. There are a whole number of character features, typical of its period, including the two inglenook fireplaces, both with wood burners, cottage doors and exposed beams.

The spacious and well presented accommodation enjoys views over the surrounding countryside and, briefly, extends to ground floor: Large entrance porch, living room, sitting room, dining room, kitchen, utility, wet room. First floor: Landing, 3 double bedrooms, bathroom.

Outside - There is a private layby and double 5-bar gates lead onto a large parking area with log and fuel stores plus side pedestrian pathway.

The gardens are attractively laid out and landscaped, being arranged over three levels with an adjoining paved terrace, pathways, lawns and a lower paved terrace plus timber shed and greenhouse.
