The Property
An outstanding detached property of character, Glenoya sits within delightful professionally landscaped mature gardens of approximately 0.64 acres (0.259 hectares) in a picturesque and secluded setting.
Built during 1960s of handmade brick and clay tile construction to an extremely high standard with a distinctive eyebrow window to the front elevation, the property offers enormous potential for further extension and modernisation, subject to the necessary consents. The versatile accommodation is accessed from an impressive reception hall, having a spacious drawing room with feature fireplace, separate dining room, breakfast kitchen, two ground floor double bedrooms, a shower room, and a generous cloakroom. Off the kitchen is a side entrance hall with separate wc and two stores, with a door leading through to a double garage. A garden room opens out onto the garden, shaded by a pretty pergola.
On the first floor, off a spacious landing is a further double bedroom with adjacent shower room/wc, a spacious attic room offering opportunity to convert to an additional bedroom and a useful storage room.
Outside
The property enjoys a particularly wide frontage to Church Lane with an attractive stone walled front boundary, and distinctive cloud pruned hedging. Evergreen hedging borders the private driveway leading to the front of the house, providing spacious off-road parking and a turning area adjacent to the attached double garage.
The gardens are a charming feature of the property and extend to just over half an acre. The gardens were originally professionally landscaped and now offer a mature setting surrounded by specimen trees and tall well-maintained hedges maintaining complete privacy. Generous lawns wrap around the property to all sides, with planted borders in both the front and rear garden. A paved walkway leads from the front of the house to the rear gardens with individual lawns and borders planted with a variety of shrubs and roses. The property also offers a productive vegetable garden with established soft fruit planting including blackcurrant and gooseberry, situated out of sight, a timber gardener’s store, and composting area.
In addition to the attached double garage, there is a quadruple timber garage accessed via a grassed track to the side of the property, together with a further timber garden shed.
