The accommodation comprises of drawing room, dining room, kitchen/sitting room, study, bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor with 4 double bedrooms and a shower room upstairs. There have been two extensions added and plans are in place for further alterations. The kitchen, which is of particular note, is in keeping with a typical farmhouse providing a definite ‘hub’ of the house. The space is divided into a fabulous family kitchen with handmade Beech worktops and Elm units and a family snug/ sitting area with views to the west across the walled garden and French doors which open directly onto the south facing patio. This space has been made all the more cosy with under floor heating throughout. Alterations have been made at the rear of the downstairs to create a master bedroom with dressing room, a bathroom, study and large storage space. While this space remains open to the rest of the property it could quite easily be sectioned off to create a more exclusive master suite. The newly appointed bathroom has been crafted to exacting standards in the same manner as the kitchen with handmade Elm units alongside high quality fixtures and fittings. The bespoke dressing room compliments the master bedroom perfectly by providing practical space yet maintaining a stylish elegance.

Meiklerig is a charming family home built of local red sandstone under slate roof offering sophisticated rooms of generous proportions. Many fine period features have been retained including numerous open fires and mantelpieces, panelled doors and windows with working shutters. The classic styling and attention to detail that has been applied merges period charm with contemporary flair.

Plans have been drawn up to add a single storey extension to the rear of the kitchen and thus providing a guest suite, additional study, laundry, WC and boot room.
