Description

Old Kirk House was constructed about 1900 and was formerly the manse for adjacent Stanley Church (which has not been in use for over 12 years). Old Kirk house retains many original features both internally and externally and has recently undergone a significant programme of refurbishment and interior design. With superior double glazing, it is now a beautifully presented and welcoming home. A vestibule opens to the hall which has the main rooms of the house on either side. On the left is the open plan kitchen/living room which spans the depth of the house. The kitchen has painted timber cabinets, a south facing bay window and a decorative mantel surrounding a wood burning stove which opens into a comfortable sitting area. On the righthand side of the hall is a beautiful entertaining space for more formal dining at one end and a drawing room at the other. The ornate fireplace is surrounded by bespoke cupboards and shelving. The room has four windows (including two lovely bays) which fill the room with light. Also on the ground floor there is a utility/bootroom leading to a back door with drying cupboard. There is a downstairs bathroom with shower. On the first floor there are four double bedrooms (one with en suite shower room), a large bathroom and a single bedroom. Whilst Old Kirk House is wonderfully bright and sunny in the summer, its double glazed windows and wood burning stove in addition to the central heating, keep it cosy in the winter.

Outside
Old Kirk House is approached by a gated driveway which leads both to the church and the private drive and parking area of the house. The attractive gardens are divided into several different areas. At the front of the house there is additional parking edged by a colourful herbaceous border. To the west there is a summerhouse on an expanse of flat lawn. Behind the house are attractive gravel and paved terraced areas which have been enclosed to form a private and sheltered area to sit out. A gate leads from here into a lawn with mature trees and rhododendrons. Beyond this there is a productive garden with polytunnel and towards the village an enclosed area of rough grass. Subject to obtaining the relevant consents there may be development potential over the garden ground adjacent to King Street over which there remains a limited time clawback clause (please speak to the selling agent for further details). The ground to the left of the entrance driveway is excluded from the sale but may be available for purchase additionally (please speak to the selling agent for further details).
