Property description
McEwan Fraser Legal is delighted to present this truly unique detached villa to the market. St Barnabas House is a traditional Victorian villa that has been extended and modernised to provide a truly special home offering nearly 3,000 square feet of internal living space. While the property boasts four bedrooms, the accommodation is focused towards dramatic and spacious living and entertaining space. This is a stunning home which has been sympathetically modernised to preserve period character while presenting a thoroughly modern finish.
The property sits on a generous plot at the corner of Wellshot Road and Ardlui Street. A wall and mature trees surround the property giving a wonderful sense of privacy. Passing through a wide well maintained front garden, you arrive at a commanding set of storm doors which lead through an entrance vestibule to a spacious central hallway. This is when you will get your first sense of the proportions on offer. Immediately on your left, you find the first of two generous public rooms. Currently arranged as a games room, period features dominate and these are complimented by the high level of natural light from the bay window. There is tremendous potential for this space and it could easily serve as a more formal dining room. Moving through this room, you come to the main reception room which is formed by a later extension to the original house. The reception room cannot be overstated. Close to thirty feet in length and focused towards a charming wood burning stove, there are an endless number of potential configurations.
The master bedroom is also accessed from the main hallway. This charming room benefits from a large bay window in the same vein as the dining room. Period features dominate and it is ample for almost any configuration you choose. A large walk-in cupboard would allow you to give the room a very minimalist feel if you choose. Also located on the ground floor is a second, rear facing double bedroom which can easily double as a study.
The final major room on the ground floor is the recently refitted breakfasting kitchen. Probably the most contemporary room in the house, there is plenty of space for you to bring additional sofas in the room. It will likely be the true heart of the home. The kitchen itself is comprised of a modern range of base and wall mount units alongside a central island and breakfast bar. There is generous prep and storage spaces for the aspiring chef. The kitchen also gives access to a large storage/utility area and a large lean-to rear extension which has potential as a home workspace.
Climbing the stairs, you will find two more double bedroom and large master bathroom. The principal bedroom on the first floor sits above the dining room and enjoys similar proportions. Clean lines and exposed stonework give this room a real warmth. The second bedroom is currently arranged as a dressing room with generous fitted storage. However, it is also a genuine double room. Finally, we come to the bathroom. Easily the size of a main double bedroom in some houses, the bathroom has been fitted to a tremendously high standard. There is a large walk-in shower alongside a large whirlpool bath which has been cleverly recessed into the bay window.
To the rear, the property boasts a generous west facing rear garden which is partly patio, partly laid to lawn. There would be ample space for you children to roam around. Side access from Ardlui Street allows you to reach a detached garage which is part timber part masonry.
This is a truly unique property and internal inspection is highly recommended.
