3Description^
Built in the 19th Century and subsequently extended, we are delighted to offer for sale this beautiful detached two story four bedroom dwellinghouse which is believed to be the oldest house in King's Gate.
Its original name, "Copse Wood', was chosen as it was surrounded by a secluded wooded area. The property benefits from an unusually large plot for its location and retains much of its original character, notably the hall with its beautifully carved ceiling and the attractive stairwell. Some internal features come from a castle in the north east which was being demolished when the house was built. Set back from the road, the property has the benefit of a sweeping driveway with two entry/exit points providing substantial parking, and, at the rear, there is a lane with garage access. The tastefully presented and elegant accommodation spans two floors, there are well proportioned rooms with high ceilings, and a lovely ingress of natural light enhances its spacious feel. Thoughtfully modernised and upgraded by the current owners, 10 King's Gate is a unique and graceful home with a sympathetic blend of 'old and new', offered for sale in ready to move into order.
Upon entering this beautiful home, you are immediately greeted by an impressive entrance hallway with a staircase dominated by a most attractive stained glass window

At the rear, there is a stunning kitchen and dining room on open plan, with a range of quality base and wall units incorporating a range of appliances and a utility room adjoining with entry to the garden on both sides of the house.
An attractive stairwell with wrought iron spindles leads from the reception hallway to the spacious upper landing. The area is flooded with natural light by the east facing stained glass window. The landing boasts a fantastic linen cupboard which provides access to the loft via a ramsay ladder.
Upstairs, there are four sizeable double bedrooms, two of which benefit from built-in storage and all rooms offering space for a range of free standing furniture. The wet room has a walk-in shower, WC, wash hand basin and bidet.
