A wonderfully spacious detached house, peacefully tucked away on a
quiet residential street and offering spectacular panoramic views down
the Firth of Forth and to the hills and mountains beyond. Whilst requiring a degree of upgrading and redecoration, the property has a
wonderfully warm and welcoming feel and offers carefully considered,
practical accommodation and the potential to become a superb family
home. Set on two levels, the reception space across the rear of the
house flows easily from the sitting room into a dining room and on to
the breakfasting kitchen – all enjoying the wonderful views through
large picture windows. There is also a further living room and a master
bedroom, cloakroom, utility room, family bathroom and shower room
all on ground level, with two more double bedrooms, a boxroom and
attic space upstairs. The property has gas central heating and double
glazing, and also boasts a large garage which links to the back door by
way of an outside path and porch, and there is a useful work room
which adjoins the cellar. Beautifully maintained front and rear gardens
provide wonderful sheltered, private lawn and patio areas from which
to enjoy the fantastic views.
An opaque glazed front door with large opaque panels to the side
opens into the wide and welcoming hallway with a lovely open-tread
wood staircase and space for occasional furniture. A feature opaque
glass block wall creates a useful cloakroom with coat hooks and a
shelved cupboard, and there is a further deep storage cupboard.
To the front of the property, and with fantastic dual aspect picture
windows, the spacious living room overlooks the front garden and on
to surrounding countryside. A wall-mounted fire with wood and tile
surround creates a focal point.
Spreading across the rear of the house, and creating a wonderful sense
of open-plan living are the adjoining sitting room, dining room and
breakfasting kitchen, all of which offer superb views through large
picture windows over the rear garden and on to the Firth of Forth and
hills beyond. The comfortable sitting room has a gas fire set in a stone
chimney breast and dual-aspect windows, with an internal window into
the dining room adding to the feeling of open-plan living. The dining
room offers ample space for a large table and chairs, with floor to
ceiling windows making the most of the stunning views.
A door leads through into the breakfasting kitchen which is fitted with
solid wood wall and floor-mounted units and has a built-in table for
casual dining. Integral appliances include a gas hob, double oven and
extractor hood. The kitchen in turn leads into a useful utility room with
Belfast sink, washing machine, tumble dryer, fridge freezer and pulley.
The utility room has a door out to the rear, where there is a covered
porch and a path leading to the garage, as well as out to the garden. A
shower room is also set off the utility room and is fully tiled and fitted
with a shower enclosure, wc and wash hand basin, with an opaque
window to the side.
There is also an extremely large family bathroom on ground floor level,
fitted with a three piece suite which will now require updating, but
offering a huge amount of space and an opaque window to the side
providing natural light and ventilation.
The master bedroom is set to the front on the ground floor and is fitted
with an extensive range of fitted furniture including cupboard, drawer,
wardrobe and display space with a further dressing table. A large
window overlooks the front garden, with blinds and curtains.
A lovely open tread wood staircase leads up to the first floor landing
with deep storage cupboard and a boxroom which draws natural light
from a glazed ceiling light into the roof. The boxroom offers flexibility
and could be used as an ideal study, nursery or occasional bedroom.
Two extremely spacious double bedrooms sit at either end of the upper
landing, both offering ample space for large bedroom furniture and
with carpet, curtains and useful built-in cupboards providing hanging
and shelving space. A door inside the built-in cupboard in bedroom
three also leads on into the attic space.
As well as the internal accommodation, the property also boasts a large
double garage with lights, windows and a door to the rear – which
leads to the porch and back door of the house. There is also a useful
work room which is accessed from the garden and leads on into the
cellars underneath the property.
The beautiful gardens have been extremely well-maintained and are
sheltered and arranged to afford maximum privacy. The front garden
is laid mainly to lawn with paths leading to the front door and a
driveway and parking area for multiple cars. To the rear, the garden is
arranged on several levels and has been thoughtfully laid out to provide
lawn areas, beautiful flowering borders, mature shrubs, sunny patio
areas and a large greenhouse.
