Crail House is an elegant and beautifully presented family home that seamlessly blends period charm with contemporary style. Offering generous and versatile accommodation across four floors, it has been thoughtfully designed to provide modern comfort while retaining many original features.
Upon entering, a welcoming hallway leads to the main reception areas. Two formal sitting rooms sit on either side, both featuring attractive fireplaces, bay windows, and characterful alcoves, filling the spaces with natural light and warmth. The open-plan kitchen/breakfast room is a real heart of the home, with stone flooring, integrated appliances, and ample space for a dining table. French doors open onto the rear garden from two access points, perfect for indoor-outdoor living.
The lower ground floor offers excellent additional space, including a private home office with ample storage and a cosy TV/snug room with exposed brickwork, alcoves, and a window allowing for natural light. A separate laundry room and cloakroom complete the ground floor amenities.
Upstairs, the first floor is home to the spacious principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a sleek, modern en-suite shower room. Two further double bedrooms and a contemporary family bathroom complete this level. The second floor offers two additional well-proportioned double bedrooms and a stylish bathroom with a freestanding bath and a walk-in shower, creating a peaceful sanctuary.
Throughout the home, each room offers its own unique character, with high ceilings, bespoke finishes, and a consistent attention to detail. Quality fittings, including Fired Earth bathrooms and flooring, enhance the overall sense of refinement and comfort.

The enclosed rear garden is mainly laid to lawn and features two attractive stone terraces, ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining. Mature, well-stocked borders add colour and privacy, while a gate at the rear opens onto meadows beyond. Convenient off-street parking is available to the rear of the property, offering easy access to both the kitchen and boot room.
