General Description
Blending spacious, well-presented, and light-filled south-facing interiors with a beautifully kept mature garden, this detached four-bedroom home in the peaceful hamlet of Boarhills promises a wonderful lifestyle. An idyllic gated garden looking across to rolling fields and flanked by a sweeping gravel driveway and stone-clad double garage, welcomes you to this charming home. From here, step inside to a bright and inviting south-facing living room, where a large portrait window frames the garden and bathes the space in natural light. With its calm, neutral colour palette, soft carpeting, and a log-burning stove set within an oak mantle, the room exudes rustic charm and relaxed comfort. A few steps lead down to the spacious dining kitchen, perfectly positioned to enjoy stunning south-easterly views over the garden through expansive windows. With direct garden access, it's an ideal space for entertaining, unwinding, or everyday living. The kitchen is tastefully styled and features wall and floor cabinetry in a natural hue, smooth gloss worktops, and a range of high-spec integrated appliances including a hob, eye-level grill, and oven.
