Forming the north wing of an historic country house, Number 1 Coxlow provides a charming character family home with distinctive features including decorative detailing to windows, wall panelling, beam frameworks and timber-cladding to ceilings, and feature fireplace. On the ground floor a vestibule gives access into a reception hall and adjoining sitting room, both with enchanting recess spaces within bay window alcoves and providing elegant settings for relaxation and dining. The kitchen is fitted with dark-colour-toned cabinetry complemented by wood work surfaces, with a Belfast sink and a corner breakfast bar setting for informal dining.

The bedroom accommodation is arranged across the first and second floors, with the luxurious principal suite situated on the first level with a vast, beautifully appointed bathroom.

The timber outbuilding offers a supplemental space with flexible-uses and currently presents as a gym.

Outside

Timber gates within a boundary wall open onto a gravelled parking area alongside the timber outbuilding, with a majestic tree marking the centre of this entry point at the property. Paved terracing, edged by a low wall, adjoins the home offering opportunities for outdoor dining and relaxation and a decorative arch is adorned by climbing plants. Positioned opposite the entrance doorway, this decorative frame indicates a route out onto the lawned garden. There is an expanse of grass providing plenty of space for children’s play and mature trees at the boundaries create a pleasing sense of seclusion in this outdoor sanctuary.
