Stonefield Estate Agents are delighted to introduce Glenalty Cottage - A truly exceptional five bedroom country residence blending period charm with contemporary living whilst nestled within 2.5 acres of mature gardens and woodland on the fringes of the attractive country village of Barrhill. Dating from circa 1902, the property boasts expansive room dimensions and a versatile layout across two levels (including a connected annex) extending to around 3000 square feet and has been thoughtfully modernised to an exacting standard throughout, retaining its original character whilst offering all the refinements required for modern family life.

In summary, the subjects comprise; bright and spacious lounge with a striking multi fuel stove and dual aspect windows, cosy L-shaped sitting room while to the rear is a generously proportioned dining room with patio doors opening onto the garden, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living. The heart of the home lies within the magnificent modern fitted kitchen, with ample base and wall units, premium appliances and a substantial feature island perfect for family gatherings and culinary enthusiasts. The adjoining annex is accessed via an internal corridor from the utility room, adding to the property's versatility.

An attractive staircase ascends from the reception hall to the first floor which reveals three well proportioned double bedrooms (one currently utilised as a home office). The elegant principal bedroom is complete with integrated wardrobes, a separate walk in dressing room / wardrobe and luxurious en suite bathroom, where a freestanding roll top bath takes centre stage. From the master suite, two spacious fully lined and floored attic rooms provide further scope for flexible use (7m x 4m).
