A beautifully presented detached bungalow standing within the main stone pillared gated entrance to the former country estate of Homestall Manor, once the home of the Dewar family synonymous with the whisky brewing industry. The property stands off the main drive and has a lovely countryside outlook to the front over open fields with a wooded backdrop to the rear. In the last few years the bungalow has been the subject of an extensive overhaul with a completely new external facade, the installation of solar panels for heating and electricity supply, complete re-decoration, revised layout, new kitchen and is now exceptionally well insulated to keep running costs down. Internally there is a hallway, three bedrooms and a refitted shower room. The lounge, which is to the front of the property overlooking the fields, has a wood burning stove and wood flooring, whilst at the rear is a well fitted kitchen/dining room. Outside the property has a hardstanding area for 2/3 cars and a pretty well laid out garden to the front. The gardens lie on all sides of the bungalow and include a good sized rear garden adjoining private woodland to the rear. This delightful home is presented in exceptionally good order and should be viewed to be appreciated.
