DESCRIPTION The former Ernmenzie steading was converted by the current owners in 2005 to form three properties with all three properties being architect designed. Ernmenzie Cottage benefits from a south easterly aspect, allowing a bright and spacious property while retaining a cosy, cottage feel. The kitchen has ample room for dining and benefits from integrated appliances including: hob with double oven and extractor above, dishwasher, fridge and freezer. Adjoining is the separate utility room which houses the oil-fired boiler and controls for the underfloor heating. The living area is a cosy space with a gas fire (currently not in use) which could be easily reinstated or possibly converted to facilitate a wood burning stove. This leads on to the sunroom which offers a prime spot to absorb the far reaching views of the countryside. The property then has 2 double bedrooms with built in wardrobes with the master bedroom having an ensuite shower room. The loft space has been floored and has electric points and lighting. Access to the property will be via a shared driveway with shared parking within the courtyard.
