A rare opportunity to acquire a notable period property, set within the picturesque country estate of Killiow House. Horseshoes is one of six, residential properties developed in the former coach house and stables. The symmetrical, fine Ashlar, granite and rubble stone building frames a central courtyard, accessed under a bellcote with clock that can be seen across the estate. The two storey property of Horseshoes occupies the central section of the eastern wing, which was developed in 1988 as a family home, set off a formally landscaped courtyard with cloistered paths to the front door and a private garden to the rear. Many of the original architectural features survive including the mounting block, cobbled paths and the wide, arched carriage entrances. The property is entered from the central courtyard through a solid wood door into an entrance hall. From the entrance hall to the right, a pair of glass doors opens into the main living room which has a grand feel, with a high ceiling and large windows in both its west and east elevations. French doors open onto the garden and the room is warmed by electric under floor heating, wall panels and a feature electric fire. To the left of the entrance hall is the kitchen / dining area. The kitchen is fitted out with the original high-quality Out of Wood fitted Maple wood kitchen which includes plenty of storage units, grey work tops and tile splash backs. There is a range of integrated appliances including a NEFF fan oven; an electric hob, under counter fridge and freezer units, a washer/drier and a one and a half bowl grey resin sink. There is room for a large dining table and the garden can be accessed directly through timber French doors which open onto the flagstone terrace, the perfect place for al fresco dining. Off the entrance hall there is also an under stairs cloakroom with a pedestal sink and WC., a coat and boot cupboard that houses the fuse boards and over the front door are some useful storage cupboards. A turning staircase with mahogany handrails and spindles ascends to the first floor landing.
