Description
The Vennel Kirk is an impressive, traditional stone built, former church dating back to 1633. The beautifully presented property was converted to a house in 1999 and offers flexible and spacious accommodation over two floors with, of particular note, a wonderfully light, open plan sitting and dining room of exceptional proportions (25ft by 25ft). The property benefits from plenty of natural light with both north and south facing aspects, combined with an intelligent use of glass and modern materials throughout. The current owners have utilised the property as a high quality letting property although The Vennel Kirk is equally an exemplary family home having been used previously so.
The property is accessed at ground floor level through a wrought iron gate and solid timber doors. Opening off the main hall are two attractive bedrooms, a bespoke breakfasting kitchen with integrated appliances and five burner gas hob, and a separate utility room. The superb, open plan sitting and dining room, with stunning, original stained glass windows and gallery area with aluminium balustrade above, provides excellent entertaining space. A shower room, airing cupboard, large cloaks cupboard and a study complete the accommodation at ground floor level. Carpeted, stone stairs lead up to the first floor to the generous master suite complete with en suite shower room and walk in wardrobe. A family bathroom services two further bedrooms, with an additional sitting room and linen cupboard also at this level. Extending to over 3100 square feet, this is a superb and unique property.
