from before 1866. There are a host of original features throughout and the
layout makes it ideal for multi generational family living. Harcla House sits

cabinetry, along with a range cooker and a breakfast bar. There is also a
study on the ground floor which is the perfect spot for working from home,
along with a useful WC.
The stunning wooden staircase sweeps up to the first floor via a half landing
with elegant feature window. There are five bedrooms with varying outlooks.
Those to the front benefit from the wonderful panoramic views. Character
features include cast iron fireplaces and ceiling roses. The bedrooms are
served by two family bathrooms, one with a wonderful free - standing roll - top
bath and walk - in shower cubicle, and a similarly smart and luxurious en - suite
to the principal bedroom.

are again mainly laid to lawn with mature planting and a vegetable garden,
along with a traditional sandstone flagged pathway; there is also a garden WC.
An expansive enclosed yard is surrounded by a range of outbuildings, some with
beautiful sandstone archways over the doorways. The barn features traditional
