A striking converted steading, Butterlaw Farm Steading (Stewards Cottage) offers generous single‑level living with a first‑floor master suite across about 315 sq m. Recently and sensitively renovated throughout, the house combines traditional stone character with high‑quality contemporary finishes — engineered oak floors, underfloor heating, granite surfaces and an oil‑fired Aga. Most principal rooms open onto landscaped south‑facing terraces and a gazebo, creating excellent indoor‑outdoor flow for family life and entertaining.
The layout is flexible: five double bedrooms (three with en‑suite facilities), a large vaulted living room with open fire, and a substantial kitchen with island, pantry, utility and a feature wine cellar. The property has a gated gravel driveway, off‑street parking, mains services, drainage to a shared treatment plant and a backup diesel generator. Fast broadband is available, though mobile signal is only average in this remoter rural location.
This home will suit families seeking spacious countryside living and buyers looking for a hospitality or holiday‑let opportunity — the house was run successfully as an exclusive boutique B&B until recently. Practical points to note: heating is oil‑fired, drainage is via a shared treatment plant, council tax is described as quite expensive, and the property sits in a very deprived rural area which may affect resale dynamics and local service provision.
Overall, this is a beautifully presented, characterful home in a quiet rural setting with strong entertaining spaces, versatile accommodation and clear potential for either private family use or continued hospitality use for buyers prepared to manage countryside running costs and service arrangements.
