5 bedroom detached house for sale

*STANDING PROUD* Stone Cottage is a distinctive and utterly unique cottage, developed over time to create substantial and versatile accommodation. The home is located in the popular, semi-rural village location of Cuckney and is nestled within a generous and privately gated plot, with ample driveway and integrated double garage. On a plot approaching 3/4 of an acre, the South-facing rear gardens extend and wrap around the home and benefit from an established tree lined boundary, providing a sense of privacy and serenity to the ground floor living areas, whilst boasting beautiful and uninterrupted elevated views over the open countryside. Stone Cottage is generous in it's proportions and has a distinctive layout with different 'wings' to the home, allowing for pockets of privacy and versatile living. The home has a certain charm and a strong connection and draw to the outside space.
Stone Cottage was originally constructed in 1952 and subsequently extended in the 1970s creating a vast amount of space and living accommodation. The extensive ground floor accommodation comprises a porch, a substantial entrance hall, dining room, study, snug/bedroom five, bedroom four, WC, bathroom, laundry room, additional entrance lobby, cellar and workshop. Completing the ground floor is a breakfast kitchen with a slate floor, a range of solid oak cabinets incorporating granite worktops and appliances to include Rangemaster, dishwasher and space for a fridge freezer. The dual aspect light & airy lounge allows you to enjoy the open views in the summer whilst you can cozy up in the winter months in front of the log burner. There are two separate first floor landings, the main landing leads to a contemporary shower room and two bedrooms including a large double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and enjoys the best views across the countryside from an elevated position. The second landing leads to another bedroom with a dressing room, a bathroom, and large eaves storage.

The property benefits from oil fired heating from a new boiler that was installed 4 years ago, smart heating to allow control to individual rooms, under floor heating in the shower room & a septic tank. Outside the sweeping driveway leads to ample off road parking, a double garage with storage above and a separate single garage.
