Monteagle House is a charming 400 year old house set apart, surrounded by public open space and situated centrally within its gardens that extend to about 1.25 acre. Hedged boundaries and many mature native trees afford a great deal of privacy. The house is discovered at the end of a long driveway and through a field gate. The owners have recently completed the rebuilding of the striking chimney and re-tiling the entire roof. A mains pressurised water system has also been installed and the new tank is heat-pump and solar ready offering the new owners lifestyle choices in a home full of character. There is scope to further remodel the house to suit individual lifestyles, subject to the necessary consents.

The gabled porch with oak front door, opens into a vestibule with leaded casement windows and leads through to the family room to one side and sitting room leading to a dining room to the other side. Both rooms have impressive inglenook fires one with the original bread oven. The kitchen is to the back of the house and beyond this a workshop that could perhaps be remodelled to provide a garden room, and a utility room. There is also a cloakroom.

On the first floor the principal bedroom features exposed beams, views towards the garden in two directions and an en suite bathroom. There are three further bedrooms and a family bathroom.

This property has 1.25 acres of land.
