DESCRIPTION
Stagwood is a wonderfully inviting property which engages you from the moment you come down the gently sloping driveway. A welcoming vestibule leads into the spacious hallway and immediately you get a sense of the space and style on offer here. The open plan kitchen and dining room are perfect for entertaining guests as well as everyday family life. A cosy living room offers comforting everyday relaxation whilst a beautiful sitting room with stunning dual aspect patio doors and full length windows opening onto a wraparound deck gives a more formal space for family gatherings and parties with friends. This room very much brings the garden ‘inside’ and in the summer months flows out from here to encompass the deck as additional living space.

On the first floor, four of the five generous bedrooms are en suite, with the master suite being particularly spacious and having its own private balcony which in late spring/summer is framed with wisteria. A family bathroom completes the accommodation. There is so much room for the whole family and/or overnight guests. Stagwood has the layout and space to be a beloved family home in which to raise children or to run as a B&B or Airbnb business, subject to the correct permissions and licences.

The detached fully insulated studio has power and light, lending itself to a wide variety of uses including yoga/pilates studio, gym, home office, artist’s studio, therapy room and so on. Bi-fold doors open to enjoy the delights of the garden.

The garden is a fabulous treasure trove of mature plants and trees with interest and colour all year. A burn borders one side providing an ever-present calming sound of natural running water. Wildlife abounds in this beautiful haven, with a large variety of wild and garden birds visiting. The layout of the garden allows for peaceful contemplation for adults or a wonderful place to fire children’s imaginations at play. For the DIY enthusiast there is a stone built workshop complete with power and light from which all sorts of creations and hobbies could emanate.

All things considered, Stagwood is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a beautifully light filled, stylish and spacious home in a sought after area of the region.

GARDEN
The entrance leads off the A710 at Barnbarroch and onto a sloping tarmac drive. You are immediately immersed in the lush greens and vibrant colours of the trees, shrubs and lawns which border the drive. A generous parking area is at the bottom outside the house. There is access on both sides of the house round to the garden, and on the right hand side this also leads to the studio. A trellis archway invites you through to the left, and leads you into a lawned area which has steps leading up to the deck. This part of the garden is fenced in making it very safe for children and pets. Beyond you can see through to the field, where livestock often gently graze. The rear garden centres around the tranquil pond and has beautiful mature shrubs and trees, plus a quiet sitting area for two. The deck has a shady pergola over on this side creating a stunning outside entertaining and dining area. The studio sits raised to the side, along with the workshop. A patio gives a further place to sit and 'drink in' this stunning garden.
