Description
Nestled within the exclusive cul-de-sac of Knocksinna, a highly regarded enclave of just 16 substantial detached family homes, Carrisbrook is an impressive detached residence built circa 1980 and set amidst mature, well-established gardens of approx. a quarter of an acre.
The property is distinguished by its exceptional sense of space, with wide hallways, expansive landings and a wide staircase, features rarely found in contemporary homes. An enclosed storm porch with a pitched roof opens into a welcoming reception hall, setting the tone for the generous accommodation that follows. Double doors lead through to the principal reception rooms where excellent proportions and natural light create an inviting atmosphere throughout.
The accommodation has been thoughtfully designed to provide a wonderful balance of formal and informal living spaces, ideally suited to modern family life and entertaining. The kitchen/breakfast room forms the heart of the home and is complemented by a large utility room which also functions as a butler's pantry, complete with additional cooking facilities.
Upstairs, the first floor comprises four spacious double bedrooms, two of which benefit from ensuite bathrooms, together with a large family bathroom. A particularly generous landing incorporates a linen cupboard and provides access to the attic, which is floored and offers excellent storage space.
OUTSIDE:
Set on approximately a quarter of an acre of beautifully established and mature gardens, the property enjoys a wonderfully private and tranquil setting. A tarmacadam driveway to the front provides ample off-street parking for several cars, while the front garden is laid in lawn and framed by neatly clipped griselinia hedging and three striking silver birch trees. Gated access to the garden from both sides of the house.
The rear garden is a particular feature, benefiting from a desirable south-easterly orientation and exceptional privacy, having been thoughtfully screened by mature shrubs and hedging. A generous side passage incorporates a clothesline area and provides excellent side access. Additional outdoor amenities include a garage (6.68m x 2.7m) with an integral boiler house and adjoining coal shed.
