The Property

Originally converted from a traditional stone farm building in the 1990s, Steart has been transformed into a spacious and comfortable family home. The conversion carefully preserved the character of the original structure, featuring natural stone, timber details, high quality wooden flooring and doors, and custom made windows. Designed in a U shape around a courtyard, the property offers generous and adaptable accommodation of approximately 3,376 sq. ft., including the option for an independent guest suite. The current owners have tastefully updated the home, enhancing its modern comforts while retaining its rustic charm.

The ground floor welcomes you with an entrance hall, complete with a cloakroom. The stunning sitting room showcases original round stone pillars, a stone fireplace with a wood burning stove, pine flooring, floor to ceiling windows, and two sets of French doors opening onto the courtyard. The dining room could serve as a family room, while the snug home office flows seamlessly into the impressive kitchen breakfast room, featuring oak cabinetry, granite worktops, a Stoves range cooker, an electric Aga, a Belfast sink with a boiling tap, and an integrated dishwasher.
