Description

Fairleaze has been a much-loved family home and is now ready for its new owners. As such, the property requires some updating and modernising, providing a good opportunity for those wishing to live in this highly regarded area on Sion Hill.

Accessing the house via the front door, you are welcomed into a very generous entrance hall.

To your right, glazed doors open to the dining room which has views to the front of the house and a hatch through to the kitchen/breakfast room.

The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with a range of country style units and has views to the south. This then opens through to a good-sized utility room with back door to the garden and a further door giving internal access to the double garage. Adjacent to the kitchen door is a downstairs cloakroom.

The hall opens through to the superb full length sitting room with double aspect and French doors to the garden. To the far end, on the right, you find the study.

Upstairs there are five bedrooms, a bathroom and a family shower room. The bathroom is Jack and Jill, and ensuite to the master bedroom.

Externally

The garden to the front of Fairleaze consists of a lawned section and a tarmac driveway with space for two cars. A double garage has an electrically operated door.

To the rear is a very good-sized terrace; a great place to enjoy the views. Beneath here the garden slopes downwards and is mainly lawned. There is a very fine beech tree in the bottom left corner.
