A much admired 'B' listed Arts and Crafts home designed by George Andrew Paterson.

The property is accessed through original stone gate piers and wrought iron gates. 40m down the driveway you are able to see the impressiveness of this house and all its history. You enter the property through a the large marble vestibule with original oak door, on opening the true beauty of the house is revealed in the form of the fully restored interior including extensive original oak panelling, oak panelled doors with brass door furniture (stamped Wm McGeogh & Co, Glasgow), decorative plaster ceilings and original feature fireplaces in the principal rooms. Typical of a good Arts and Crafts house the hall has a barrel-vaulted ceiling with an impressive oak balustraded main staircase to the upper floor.

Since purchasing \"The Crossways\" in 1991 the current owners have overseen the complete professional restoration and upgrading of the house's 14 apartments, the two storey double garage and the redesign and restocking of the property's 0.65 acre garden such that the residence now provides over 6,000 sq ft of excellent 21st Century living in a gracious Arts and Crafts setting. That upgrading has included rewiring, replumbing, reroofing, installation of a new mains gas supply, the recent complete overhaul of the central heating system including new dual high-efficiency condensing gas boilers and control units - and of course new bathrooms and kitchen.

The accommodation comprises large oak panelled entrance hall with barrel-vaulted ceiling, original feature fireplace with linen fold oak panelling above and French window to the front of property; to the east a large oak panelled drawing room with most attractive original decorative plaster ceiling and feature fireplace also with linen fold oak panelling above; through interior sliding double doors a similarly oak panelled and original decorative plaster ceilinged formal dining room also with an feature fireplace. Across the hallway there is a spacious and bright sitting room with large south-facing bay window and another most attractive original feature fireplace; an oak panelled cloakroom and toilet; the original fully fitted butler's pantry; and modern kitchen and associated utility room. Finally, there is a small store room, another toilet, large work room / home office with sink unit and dedicated boiler room with modern dual high-efficiency gas fired central heating condensing boilers, control units and hot water tank.

The upstairs accommodation can be accessed either by the formal oak balustraded main staircase from the main hall at the east of the property or via the \"servants' staircase\" off the rear hall at the west. That accommodation comprises 6 large main bedrooms (master with en-suite bathroom including large walk in shower), a large family bathroom and a small fully fitted linen room. The former servants' accommodation comprises two good sized rooms currently utilised as a teenager's sitting room and an office/computer room.

The large secluded, south facing garden is easily maintained being largely laid to lawns (to the east, south and west) and extensive decorative bushes and trees with the wide range of mature azaleas and rhododendrons providing a breathtaking display of Spring/Summer flowering.

To the front of the house there is an original stone crazy pathway and flower bed stone terrace with stone steps to the lawn - and to the west a similar stone terrace and steps to the lower lawn / drying green. The flower beds have extensive garden fabric and bark mulch to further facilitate easy maintenance. EER Band D
