Impressive detached villa with stunning gardens.

Description

Kiltearn is an impressive red sandstone detached Victorian villa with approximately 3607 square feet of well organised living accommodation over two floors.

The property begins with a striking entrance vestibule leading to a central hallway, off which are the main reception rooms. The drawing room and sitting room are positioned to the front of the house both with bay windows typical of the period which bring in an abundance of light. They also both display decorative cornicing, central ceiling roses and feature fireplaces in-keeping with the wonderful character of the rooms.

Following the hallway, the kitchen is well appointed with a range of multi-level cabinetry and ample space for a dining table. An expansive utility room and handy WC complete the ground floor accommodation.

The first floor is made up of five bedrooms offering flexible accommodation. The principal bedroom is a generous size and has an en suite shower room which can also be accessed from the hallway. The main family bathroom sits down the hall and includes a bath with shower.

The property benefits from a double garage joined by a link hallway which also provides access to the front and rear gardens as well as the utility.

The grounds surrounding Kiltearn are a credit to the current owners with beautifully kept lawns, planted borders, hedging and a feature pond. The impressive driveway has space for multiple vehicles and sits beside an expanse of lawn at the front.
