As you enter the driveway of “Duart” you are immediately aware of the peaceful surroundings the home sits in. The lush garden has been superbly maintained and is accented with mature shrubs. The neatly kept lawn areas and dotted trees help make this private environment feel delightfully tranquil.
Entering through the sunroom at the side of the house, rather reminiscent of a traditional English conservatory, natural light pours through the windows as you look out to the wonderful views of the garden and pool. In the winter months this room would be the perfect spot to enjoy the sunshine whilst you relax, and in the warmer months, the blinds can come down from above to provide shade. The pool outside is very private in an enclosed courtyard with a very clever pocket door Moongate leading to a well-manicured lawn area that would be perfect for children, pets or entertaining.
From the sunroom you enter the kitchen and adjacent dining room, this has the potential to be opened into a single room if a more open plan layout were to be desired, although, the double doors from both rooms provide an open layout with plenty of options for different living styles. As you walk through to the main sitting room you notice the abundance of light, due to the wonderful high ceilings, even on a stormy autumn day. The sitting room is a good size ideal for entertaining at all times of the year. A small snug at the rear of the lounge would make a fantastic office or kids play room.
In the front hallway the front door leads onto a small covered porch with steps back down to the driveway. From the porch there are lovely overland views to the Sound and beyond. Completing downstairs from the hallway is a library/TV Room/Snug that is incredibly light with large picture windows and also a downstairs powder room.
From the main level there is access to a lower ground floor accessed by a spiral staircase or from a separate outdoor entrance. This floor is made up of three main rooms and an additional bathroom. With one room is currently purposed as a laundry room, the other two would be ideally suited as a home office, cinema room, playroom or excellent additional storage.
Heading upstairs the natural light continues to emphasize the spacious aspect of “Duart”. As you head into the master bedroom, the antechamber is a most magnificent glass room that looks out across Fairylands and the Great Sound, with the glass roof providing wonderful sky views or likely more impressive – nighttime stargazing. The master bedroom itself opens up from here and also benefits from a walk in closet and en-suite bathroom.
Back down the hallway are 3 further bedrooms and a family bathroom. The far bedroom benefits from a large outdoor terrace – perfect for visiting family to enjoy some quiet privacy.
Next to the main house sits Duart Cottage, which has a garage and storage rooms below. There is one en-suite bedroom and a large combined sitting/dining room, with a charming sunroom at the rear, leading onto its own private and totally secluded garden. We agreed it would be best to rent the cottage out, as guests would never leave!

With two assessment numbers, a wonderful setting and location, The agent informed us interest has been building again and we are not surprised…
