Description

Laburnum House is a stone built cottage once forming part of the Moor Park Hotel which was built around 1869. It was redeveloped in 1985 to form the development we see today. The house itself is tucked away within the close and benefits from a good deal of natural light, some high ceilings to the ground floor and excellent views from the first floor bedrooms. One of the lofts has been timber lined and has light and power, allowing potential use as a hobby room (albeit accessed via a ladder).

Accommodation

A small stone and timber porch leads via the front multi-paned door into the hallway leading the bright Living Room with fireplace and bay window overlooking the garden, the Kitchen/Diner is semi open plan with a Galley style timber kitchen and a Dining Area currently used as a second Reception. To the first floor is the family bathroom with a coloured three piece suite and three bedrooms, all with some fine but partial rural views. The bedrooms benefit from good ceiling heights and storage. There is access from the landing to two separate lofts. One of the lofts (accessed by drop-down ladder) has been timber lined and carpeted and benefits from lights and power points, potentially providing an additional hobby room.
