Lethington is a generously-proportioned stonebuilt property offering more than 4,800 sq. ft. of attractive accommodation arranged over three floors and located in a much admired and sought after location.

The property has charming, retained character features including mullioned glazing, high ceilings with fine cornicing and original fireplaces. From the welcoming reception hall there is access to a generous drawing room with a fireplace and a door to the garden, a large triple aspect living room with a large bay window, exposed wooden flooring, open fireplace and French doors to the garden and a spacious dining room with exposed wooden flooring, bespoke storage and an open fireplace. Also on the ground floor is an inter-connecting suite of rooms comprising a large L-shaped kitchen/breakfast/family room with a range of wall and base units including a large central island with breakfast bar and an inglenook with Aga, and a family area with feature corner fireplace. The neighbouring fitted utility room has garden access and there is a spacious dual aspect room with a store room and French doors to the garden, currently configured as a separate guest breakfast room but suitable for a variety of uses. The current owner uses part of the accommodation for business purposes and affords great flexibility for this and a wide variety of alternative uses.

On the first floor the spacious principal bedroom has built-in storage and a large en suite bathroom. Five further well-proportioned double bedrooms, some with original feature fireplaces, two family bathrooms, and a separate shower room complete the accommodation on this level. A separate staircase leads to the second floor, with a generous dual aspect attic bedroom with en suite shower room and a sauna.
