Detached Country Home in Exclusive Private Estate Setting

A rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully refurbished detached country home, tucked away within the prestigious grounds of the former Homestall Manor Estate, once home to the renowned Dewar whisky family.

Approached through an impressive stone-pillared gated entrance, the property occupies a discreet position within approximately 28 acres of private estate grounds, offering a unique combination of privacy, countryside tranquillity and modern energy-efficient living.

The well-presented accommodation comprises a welcoming entrance hall, a bright and spacious lounge featuring a wood-burning stove, wood flooring and attractive views across open fields, a stylish kitchen/dining room with direct access to the gardens, three well-proportioned bedrooms and a contemporary refitted shower room.

Outside, the property benefits from hardstanding parking for two to three vehicles and attractive gardens extending to all sides. The generous west-facing rear garden backs directly onto private woodland, creating a peaceful and secluded setting, while open countryside views to the front further enhance the property's appeal.

In recent years, the property has undergone extensive refurbishment, including a complete renewal of the external façade, a redesigned internal layout, a contemporary fitted kitchen, full redecoration, enhanced insulation and the installation of solar panels providing both heating and electricity. These improvements have resulted in an exceptional EPC Rating of A, delivering outstanding energy efficiency and low running costs.

Combining the charm and character of a country home with the benefits of modern sustainable living, this turnkey residence offers a rare lifestyle opportunity within an exclusive private estate environment.
