The mid-Century modern house is located in its own private and secluded five acre walled garden, meaning you have plenty of space outside to spread out and enjoy the sunshine when the weather is warm. The property's main rooms feature large windows that overlook this garden, ensuring the property has lovely views and is filled with plenty of natural light.
The modern building has a cool sixties feel, with carefully chosen furnishings and design flourishes throughout. The accommodation, which is all on one level, features a unique collection of antique furniture and 18th Century family paintings that have been collected by the Dalrymple family.
The large living room features comfy sofas that sit around a working fireplace. This is a lovely spot to sit with a glass of wine, socialising around the fireplace with your family & friends. This space also has a door that takes you out onto the patio garden.
