This exclusive and generously proportioned detached house has all the qualities a family looks for, with six bedrooms, four bathrooms and plenty of reception space, along with practical spaces including a playroom, utility room, boot room and ample parking. The property has been extended and refurbished to an extremely high standard employing careful attention to detail and high-quality fixtures and fittings. The well-planned, individual design maximises light and space with clean lines and a contemporary feel. The location is superb; the house is set on a generous plot on a quiet road in the sought-after location of Shawford.

The splendid, double height glazed hall creates an outstanding first impression. To the right lies the beautiful, triple aspect sitting room, with double doors opening onto the rear patio. A log burner inset within an impressive central surround creates a focus and subtly divides the room into distinct areas.

The heart of this lovely home is the impressive kitchen/dining/family room. The kitchen itself is well appointed and bright with plenty of base and eye level storage and a substantial island unit. Integrated appliances include two pyrolytic ovens, microwave, induction hob and dishwasher and space for an American style fridge/freezer. There is plenty of space for a large dining table and the sitting area ensures the whole room is wonderfully sociable in design. Bifold doors stretch the width of the room and open fully onto the generous patio, combining inside and outside space to create a large, open, entertaining option. Adjacent to the kitchen is a delightful children’s playroom which is light and spacious and could easily be used as a formal dining room or family room. Considerable understairs storage, a smart downstairs shower room, useful utility room and well-thought-out boot room, which can be accessed directly from the driveway at the front of the house, all provide for practical needs.

On the first floor there are six bedrooms which radiate from the impressive light filled landing. The principal bedroom is an excellent size with a sizeable walk-in wardrobe / dressing area and a large and modern en-suite shower room. Bedroom two also benefits from a sleek, modern en-suite, along with fitted wardrobes with sliding doors, and is perfect for guests. There are two further double bedrooms and two good-sized singles which share a stylish family bathroom.

Outside, the wide driveway provides plenty of off-road parking and is fully enclosed with mature hedges and attractive wooden gates. There is side access to the well-maintained rear garden, with a very generous patio area immediately adjacent to the house and steps down to a sizeable lawn with both mature and younger trees and shrubs. There is a useful shed to one side of the garden.
