Set within well stocked landscaped corner grounds, a substantial red sandstone period detached villa dating from 1900/1910 or thereby. The property has been successfully enhanced in recent years by the addition of a substantial extension to the West-most elevation, presented externally to match the main building with sandstone frontage and slate roof. This addition has substantially increased the internal floor space and created the “best of both worlds”, high specification, contemporary design and style in conjunction with the traditional features inherent within a home of this age and character. Early internal inspection is highly recommended

The complete accommodation extends to: delightful timber entrance portico, entrance vestibule, broad welcoming hallway, superb double aspect bay windowed lounge with period fireplace, comfortable bay windowed TV room also with fireplace, stunning custom fitted Duravit bathroom. The dining room allows open plan access to a fantastic professionally fitted custom designed, living kitchen incorporating German “Rationale” units, black pitted granite work surface and slate effect ceramic tiles. The 2.5 metre central island unit creates a highly successful focal point and has a useful open plan study area off to the side. The kitchen incorporates five burner hob and ceramic griddle, twin fan assisted oven, combination microwave grill, two fridge freezers, integrated coffee machine, wine cooler, dishwasher (all appliances by Kuppersbusch). Adjacent to the kitchen a substantial dedicated utility room having built-in washing machine and tumble dryer with boiler area adjacent.

The original sweeping staircase leads through half landing to first floor level revealing an excellent bay windowed master bedroom and three further bedrooms (bedroom four utilised as dressing room). A further shower room at first floor is presented in a highly contemporary style with designer sanitaryware.

The specification includes gas central heating and double glazing. The building has been comprehensively refurbished from top to toe over the last four years and has been featured in Scotland on Sunday “At Home” magazine and Real Homes magazine. Externally the plot provides off-street driveway parking for at least two/three cars and well stocked garden grounds to front, side and rear designed with ease of maintenance in mind.
