Victorian pad in the country

Home surrounded by great outdoors

- ABI SMILLIE

This stand- out Victorian home- surrounded by greenery- oozes character and charm.

Built in circa 1860, Dalquhairn House, located five miles from the village of Barr, is a beautiful five- bed property set in 1.2 acres of grounds including outbuildin­gs and a small paddock.

Agent Bruach property say: “It is the perfect acquisitio­n for those looking for a beautiful country home in spectacula­r rural surroundin­gs.”

The property has been modernised throughout but retains period features and respects the era of the building.

Accommodat­ion is split over two levels. On the ground floor, entry is via a traditiona­l entrance vestibule leading into a bright spacious reception hallway.

To the right off the hallway is a beautiful drawing room which benefits from a large bay window with views across the garden grounds.

The modern kitchen contains a traditiona­l AGA, and access to the utility room- the perfect place for muddy wellies after a long walk in the countrysid­e.

Completing the accommodat­ion on the ground floor is a large family bathroom with bath, separate double shower enclosure, sink and WC.

On the upper level there is a large bright landing and hallway leading to five bedrooms and a modern family bathroom.

The master bedroom is spacious and boasts a timber fire surround and large bay window. The current owners have cleverly positioned a sofa here to soak up those winter morning sunrises.

A sweeping gravel pathway, with ample parking, lies behind the property. Adjacent to this is a large stone barn with two large rooms. Both rooms are currently used for storage, but there is potentialp­lanning approved- to convert the buildings for further developmen­t.

Offers over £ 389,000. Call Bruach property on 01655 626040.
