Muirton House is a delightful, C-listed former manse which, although being set in village location, offers spacious accommodation in a secluded and private setting.
Presented by Galbraith and set over two floors, the house, on Church Road, Luthermuir, Laurencekirk, Aberdeenshire, has undergone a degree of sympathetic internal renovation which has retained many of the traditional features thought such as working shutters, sash and case windows and a beautiful wrought iron sweeping staircase.
The breakfasting kitchen has a good range of modern, shaker-style units alongside a traditional Redfyre range cooker with double doors leading out to a south east facing patio area.
The adjacent utility room provides ample storage space with a Belfast sink, plumbing for white goods and wall and floor units. Off the main hallway is a bright and spacious dining room with features including a dado rail and wooden shutters.
Opposite, the sitting room has a traditional open fire place and leads through to the west facing sun room which captures the evening sun.
The downstairs bedroom, which could be used as a further family room, offers generous proportions with two double patio doors and built in storage, beyond which a large bathroom with separate shower and bath can be found alongside an office.
This area of the house offers particularly flexible accommodation for those wishing to work or run a business from home.
The first floor has two well-proportioned bedrooms alongside a modern bathroom with shower. Both of the bedrooms are light and airy with south-east facing windows and one with a large, integrated wardrobes.
The property is accessed via a hard track lined with a beech hedge, which opens out onto an ample gravelled parking area at the front of the house. The south facing garden extends to around 0.44ac (0.18ha) and while mainly laid to lawn, has a number of well stocked borders and mature fruit trees.
The garden additionally benefits from a polytunnel which has previously been used to grow vegetables and flowers. A mature beech hedge surrounds the garden, offering privacy and protection from prevailing winds.
To the rear of the property a range of outbuildings are found including a wooden double garage with kennel and outside run and a long brick built storage shed with timber façade.
