Property description
JORDANHILL CATCHMENT AREA - Enjoying a prime Jordanhill School catchment area location and situated within the extremely desirable address of Queen Victoria Drive, this is an extensive, five bedroom semi-detached sandstone villa, originally dating from around 1850. Internally, the property offers versatile family accommodation formed over two substantial levels.
In the catchment area for Jordanhill School and Campus, this rarely available property is as unique as it is beautiful! The traditional building has been carefully maintained both internally and externally, to create fantastic and flexible accommodation, which only a viewing will qualify. The interior offers sophisticated living space, with exquisite, restored period detailing including ornate cornicing and rose work, fireplaces and skirtings, which is inherent with a home of this age and character. The property sits on a good-sized corner plot and is surrounded by carefully tended gardens, mainly lawned and screened by a wide variety of mature trees. The gardens have been carefully designed to provide seasonal colour. There is a driveway to the rear aspect providing off road parking for a number of vehicles, which leads to a detached double width garage (with electric up and over door) and a car-port.
A prospective purchaser has a blank canvas to design the house to their own taste and style. Once completed, the property will offer well proportioned room sizes with an abundance of living space, making this a super acquisition for a growing family looking for their forever-home!
Lamorna is entered via a private entrance vestibule. A further glazed timber door leads through to a large welcoming reception hallway, with a staircase off to the upper landing. There is a very handy shower-room located off the hallway with understairs storage. The lounge is of palatial proportions, with both high ceilings and intricate ceiling cornicing and offers a range of furniture configurations. The bay window floods the room with natural light and the original feature fireplace is the key focal point of the room. A separate dining room is also located on the ground floor and has similar views to the lounge and also benefits from a feature fireplace.
The kitchen/diner has been fitted to include a good range of floor and wall mounted units, with a striking work surface, which provides a fashionable and efficient workspace. It further benefits from space for a freestanding cooker, dishwasher, washing machine and a tumble dryer. It also offers very interesting views over the rear garden. The kitchen is open-plan to the dining area, which has ample room for a large table and chairs for more informal dining with friends and family and this zone is certain to become the very heart of the home. The fifth bedroom completes the accommodation on this level. This is a very adaptable room and would make a perfect family room or home office and might suit those requiring live/work arrangements. This room has a wash hand basin.
The original sweeping staircase leads to first floor level, revealing four substantial bedrooms and a family bathroom. There is a useful storage cupboard off the landing. The master bedroom has a range of fitted wardrobes and a bay window offering tremendous views of the surrounding area. The remaining bedrooms all have space for additional freestanding furniture if required. The three piece bathroom, with cast iron bath, completes the accommodation. Access to the loft space is gained from the bathroom. A real feature of the half-landing is the stained glass window.
The specification includes gas central heating, part double glazing and a security alarm system for additional peace of mind.
