5 bedroom detached house for sale

Glenbanchor Lodge is an attractive traditional stone-built property which offers great flexibility and adaptable accommodation arranged over two floors.

The property has been lovingly maintained and sensitively modernised, retaining its period features and originality. Access is through the entrance porch which leads to the cloakroom and reception hall. This flows naturally into the fine formal drawing room with its south-facing bay window, feature fireplace and access into a sun room alongside. Rich polished wood flooring runs throughout much of the property, with the accommodation flowing into the adjacent 24 ft. light-filled open-plan sitting room and dining area, with a walk-in bay window and fireplace. The traditional front-facing kitchen features a wide array of wall and base cabinetry and a sliding door to the convenient utility spaces including a wood-panelled boot room. Completing the floor is a peaceful bedroom which could also be used as a study.

The airy first-floor landing opens to four well-proportioned and bright bedrooms, the principal room and second bedroom enjoying dual rear and side aspects of the tranquil garden. The rooms are well served by two shower rooms.

The property resides in an enviable position surrounded by established landscapes and nestled among mature and colourful trees, with a pillared entrance opening to the sizeable gravelled driveway beside the home. The versatile wrap-around grounds feature lush lawn and a south-westerly aspect to the rear, with various shrubbery and characteristic low stone-built walls offering colour and interest.
