Property description
This traditional Victorian style detached house has spectacular elevated views over the River Forth to the Ochil hills and has been lovingly maintained by the current owners retaining many of its period features.
Believed to have been built around 1904 by a local shipping line owner, the house sits in a generous garden surrounded by a gravel driveway.
Entering through the vestibule you are greeted by a beautiful original wooden staircase in a generous hall that retains the original parquet flooring with encaustic tile detailing. Off to the right of the hall is the morning room with roundel window area and open fire place and a further separate large drawing room with a marble surround open fire place. Off the hall to the left is a large dining room with impressive wooden sash windows. All these rooms exhibit fine detailed cornicing and have fresh décor that is in keeping with the age and style of the property.
Beyond the hall is a modern fitted dining kitchen with a butler’s pantry, a w/c and shower room, a garden room providing access to the patio area of the garden, a large utility room and a den/study with its own access to garden patio.
Upstairs the large airy landing provides access to the master bedroom with ensuite bathroom, separate family bath & shower room, three further bedrooms, two of which are large doubles (one with ensuite shower), including the Roundel bedroom affording magnificent views over the River Forth.
The generously proportioned grounds include a gravel driveway that surrounds the house, fine mature trees within a conservation area including Yews, Laurels and Rhododendrons, well stocked garden beds with shrubs and flowers and in the south east corner of the grounds is what was originally a Doctor’s surgery built by one of the previous owners of the house and which could be put to a variety of uses such as an office, studio or workshop. There is also a large shed within the wooded area.
Early viewing is highly recommended and strictly by appointment only. Interested parties should submit a formal note of interest through their solicitor at the earliest opportunity.
