General Description
Muirhead House is thought to date from the early 1800’s and has been sympathetically extended over the years with most recent alterations in 2019. The result is a wonderful most substantial family house with huge charm and character.
With a delightful traditional stone exterior under a slate roof the flexible period accommodation is both immaculate and extensive, with scope for 3 public rooms and 5 bedrooms totalling circa 2,874 sqft. The recently completed self-contained annexe is stunning and offers considerable scope - either as a granny flat or as an income generating holiday let or similar.

At the heart of the house is the superb well-appointed farmhouse kitchen with green Aga and island unit. To the rear is the lovely main family room has a cosy stove and glazed doors off to the adjacent conservatory, whilst to the front of the house is a charming separate family room with fireplace, bright double aspect and shelving. The formal dining room is ideal for entertaining and has a stove - it leads through to the new annexe at the north-eastern end of the house. Completing the ground floor of the main section of the house is the lovely impressive main hall, front vestibule and useful boot room to the rear.

Upstairs, the main bedroom suite is exquisite, with beautiful en-suite bathroom. There are three further good-sized bedrooms along with family shower room and hall.

The recently completed annexe is a superb addition to the property, with scope either to be used as part of the main house itself, or independently with its own self-contained rear access. The ground floor comprises a delightful open plan kitchen / sitting / dining room, shower room and hall. Upstairs is an excellent double bedroom along with snug / study area.
