Description

Approached over a long private drive, this charming three bedroom country property is conveniently situated for north and south coasts and offers splendid equestrian facilities with adjoining land - in all about 6.83 acres (2.76ha).

The Property
Ballyack Cottage was built on the site of the original cottage in 2002, and this splendid house enjoys a warmth and charm rarely found in such a modern built property. The elevations are stunning with stone facing, complimented by granite lintels and quoins with slate hanging to much of the first floor beneath a pitched slated roof with substantial feature chimney stack. Windows have deep reveals with slate sills and many have decorative leadwork. During the original construction, the internal and external finishes were extremely well thought out, and the result is a modern home with a tremendous amount of character, offering comfortable well-proportioned accommodation, cleverly emulating the look of the original cottage which occupied the site for many years.

A 250m long private access drive with adjacent long field creates an impressive introduction to this excellent country home with land, stables, outbuildings and large barn / workshop having a variety of uses.

The Property

An entrance porch with slate floor leads to an inner hall, with door to a triple aspect sitting room with granite and brick fireplace, two columns of solid granite either side with a further solid granite Bressumer beam over a multi fuel burner. Ceilings feature wide exposed beams and there are many wood floors throughout. Many rooms enjoy far reaching views over the miles of surrounding countryside.

From the inner hall, a good-sized dining room opens through to the kitchen which is comprehensively fitted with white fronted units, a wide range of appliances, granite worktops, range cooker (lpg fired and electric) and beautiful slate flooring. There is also a large separate utility room and a refitted cloakroom WC. The conservatory is a particular feature of the property being double glazed PVCu construction.

Access to the first floor is via a wide central staircase and there are a total of three bedrooms, one with superb ensuite facilities and walk-through large dressing room. Each bedroom is of a double size, and two are dual aspect. Both the main bathroom and en-suite shower room have been refitted in recent years.

Windows are sealed unit double glazed and an oil-fired boiler provides central heating and domestic hot water.

Outside
The long, smart, well maintained drive sweeps to a shingled parking area and further tarmacadam road leads past the front of the property to the implement shed and hobby room, where a further gravelled drive provides another access to the property.

To the rear of the property, a large paved patio and shingled area provides low maintenance gardens together with small area of lawn, enjoying stunning distant views to countryside to the North.

The Land
The land lies predominantly to the south of the property and is post and rail fenced to provide a number of enclosures to facilitate rotation of grazing. Being laid the grass, the land gently slopes to the north, and is well drained, offering far reaching views over open countryside. In total there are five paddocks. Water is connected with a number of drinking troughs.

The drive is about 250m long with an area of grass known as ‘long acre' to one side which leads to the property and the main parking and equestrian complex. Of particular note are the Cornish hedges with a proliferation of yew and sycamore trees.
