Dating back to circa 1790, Greystones is a truly impressive detached period residence, combining an abundance of character with generous and highly versatile accommodation extending to approximately 2,346 sq ft (218 sq m) across three floor levels. Boasting three reception rooms, an impressive open plan kitchen diner and six bedrooms, the property offers exceptional flexibility for a wide range of buyers. While ideally suited as a substantial family home, the layout also provides excellent potential for multi-generational living, allowing separate and private areas to be created under one roof. Beautifully presented and finished to a high standard throughout, the property retains a wealth of original character, including exposed oak beams and substantial stone walls measuring over a metre thick, seamlessly complemented by contemporary fixtures and fittings. The versatility of the accommodation may also appeal to those wishing to work or operate a business from home, subject to any necessary planning permissions and consents.

At the heart of the home is the quality modern kitchen, featuring a range of integrated appliances and opening into the dining area to create a superb social space for everyday family life and entertaining. The principal accommodation is arranged over three levels. To the ground floor is the impressive open plan kitchen diner together with a convenient WC. The lower ground floor provides two generous reception rooms comprising a spacious living room and separate family room, offering excellent flexibility for both relaxing and entertaining. To the first floor, an inner hallway and landing provide access to four well proportioned bedrooms and the family bathroom. The lower ground floor comprises a sitting room, utility room and shower room, with a hallway and two bedrooms situated on the lower ground floor. Externally, the property continues to impress with a sheltered walled courtyard garden to the rear, creating a wonderfully private and secure outdoor setting. Gated access opens onto ample parking for several vehicles, while a generous patio seating area provides an ideal setting for al fresco dining and entertaining.

The property has recently benefitted from a complete renewal of the central heating system, with the installation of a modern smart heating system designed with energy efficiency in mind. This comprises a low energy condensing boiler, a smart insulated hot water cylinder and smart radiator valves throughout. The system allows the heating to be controlled remotely, either across the whole property or independently within individual rooms, providing greater control over energy usage and helping to improve overall efficiency. The hot water cylinder is currently heated via the gas system but also offers the potential to be heated using solar energy, subject to the installation of a suitable solar system. The vendors have also commissioned a solar survey, which indicated that the property has the potential to accommodate a substantial solar panel system together with PV battery storage.

Situated within the popular village of Brotherton, the property is conveniently placed for a range of local amenities including schools, a post office and local shop. Excellent nearby road and rail connections also make the location particularly convenient for those travelling further afield.

Greystones really must be viewed to fully appreciate the scale, character and flexibility of the accommodation on offer, making it particularly well suited to a growing or larger family, multi-generational living or those seeking adaptable space for both home and work.
