Property description
THE PROPERTY Highshield Cottage is an extremely attractive stone and slate built detached home situated on an elevated site and enjoying commanding views over the surround valley and fields beyond. The house itself which is full of charm and character is presented in excellent order and comprises entrance porch, a spacious living room with a multi-fuel burning stove, a separate sitting room with a similar stove and fabulous conservatory enjoying the breath-taking views. In addition there is a dining room and a large fully fitted kitchen. Upstairs the landing leads to the large family bathroom, three double bedrooms and en-suite facilities. Externally the landscape gardens enjoy the same views and there are two large outhouses/workshops/kenneling facilities. The property has oil fired central heating and would be ideal for a full time home for professional couples but also as a weekend retreat/ holiday home. Properties of this nature and calibre rarely come on to the market in this location and we would strongly recommend a viewing.
