Qumari

Qumari presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and well-presented single-storey residence, which has remained in the same family ownership since its construction in the 1930s. Much loved over the years, the property has been thoughtfully extended by the current owners to create spacious and highly adaptable accommodation.

The house sits within an impressive plot of approximately 2.8 acres, offering a wonderful sense of space and privacy, and includes a range of useful outbuildings such as a large workshop and two stables.

Internally, Qumari offers exceptionally flexible living space, having originally been arranged for two-family occupation. The main accommodation comprises a bright and spacious sitting room featuring a wood-burning stove, which leads through to a kitchen and breakfast room with direct access to the garden. Additional reception space includes a cosy snug and an elegant dining room-an impressive room ideal for entertaining-which in turn connects to a second kitchen.

The property provides four double bedrooms, three of which benefit from built-in storage, along with three bathrooms. The principal family bathroom is particularly generous, featuring both a bath and a separate shower.

While the current layout lends itself well to multi-generational living, the property also offers significant scope for reconfiguration, allowing a purchaser to create a superb, spacious family home tailored to their needs.
