Description
Cluny House is a fine and substantial detached family home which was built in
2005 and offers stylish and immaculately presented living accommodation across
two floors. The ground floor is dominated by a striking glass gable which
floods the double height sitting room with natural light. There is a fireplace
with wood burning stove and doors out to the garden. A gallery above looks
over the sitting room and is a useful and versatile space that can be used as
an office or library area. The wood - floored dining / living room has two sets
of French doors out to the extensive paved terrace and double doors open to
the fabulous light and airy kitchen. Here there is a good range of high
quality white oak Neptune cabinetry, a central island unit with breakfast bar
and a four oven white everhot electric range cooker. Completing the ground
floor is a fitted utility room and a guest bedroom with en suite shower room.
Upstairs are a further four bedrooms, the principal with en suite shower room
and all with built - in storage. There is also a family bathroom along with the
gallery space.
Outside, the paved terrace is a fantastic spot for alfresco entertaining and
the beautiful gardens are mostly laid to lawn with a woodland area and well
planted borders along with a charming summerhouse.
At the far end of the lawn is a 19 foot wood - clad studio building which
mirroring the house has full height windows and French doors, ensuring this
studio/office is equally light and bright.
