Description

Harlaw is an impressive house. The original part of the house was built in the 1950s and it was extended first in the 1960s. It was acquired by the sellers in the mid 1980s, who renovated and added to the house, first in 1985 and again in about 1990. The house was also rewired and re-plumbed at that time. As such it is a spacious and well presented house, which is laid out for family living and is ideal for entertaining.
A particular feature is the indoor pool. This was added in 1985. Latterly the pool has been floored over with removable floor panels, and is used as a games room. As such there is flexibility for both. The pool benefits from a heat reclaim system.
The house is harled with some stone finishings, and a slate roof. Electric gates (on both front and back drives) lead up to a block paved parking and turning area adjacent to the front of the house.
