Description
With flexible accommodation, extending in total to over 3880 sq ft, Kinnard is a home on a lovely scale. Currently, it is arranged as a main house with a two-bedroom annex which allows for a dependant relative or au pair to live independently if so wished. With a remodel, the annex could easily be reinstated to be used alongside the principal accommodation should a prospective owner wish. The accommodation enjoys a very light and bright atmosphere and off a generous reception hall is a delightful sitting room with ornate windows and sliding floor to ceiling bespoke doors opening out to the garden. The dining room also has access to the garden and off the opposite side of the hallway is a wonderful arrangement of living space comprising a large kitchen/breakfast room designed and fitted by Abbey Kitchens, with a range of bespoke units topped with a quartz central island, Smeg 6 ring oven and fitted boiling water tap. In the breakfast area is fitted seating, exposed stone walls and a period fireplace. Off the kitchen is a cosy snug with a wood burning stove, exposed beamed ceiling and ornate windows, open to a large study with double doors to the garden, fitted cupboards and desk and an excellent size for those working from home.

On the first floor off a spacious landing is the main bedroom suite with exposed timber A frame, fitted dressing area and large en-suite shower room with a modern quality suite. Three further double bedrooms are served by a generous bathroom with a traditional freestanding bath and double shower and all the bedrooms have excellent fitted storage.

The annexe is a delightful space and has its own private entrance from the front driveway into the hallway with fitted storage, cloakroom and door to the garden. The main living area is wonderful with the kitchen open to a large, conservatory with French doors opening out to the sun terrace and gardens enjoying open views across the grounds. The kitchen area is fitted with a range of modern units with granite work surfaces over, integrated appliances and a two ring gas fired Aga. The sitting room has a wood burning stove and upstairs, bedroom one has an en-suite bathroom and bedroom two, an en-suite shower and a wall of fitted wardrobe units. The annex provides multiple usage including dependant relatives, a live in nanny or as guest quarters. Reinstating this area to the main house would be easy if a prospective owner did not require the annex.
