Property description
Part Exchange available! McEwan Fraser Legal is delighted to present this magnificent family home to the residential sales market. Dating from the late 1890s, this imposing blond sandstone detached villa sits within the sought after Newlands conservation area. The property is double fronted and arranged over three floors providing an exceptional balance between public and private space. The flexibility of the space is further enhanced by high ceilings and tremendous bay windows which flood the public rooms with natural light. This desirable family home is set behind an extensive mature walled garden which provides an unrivalled sense of peace and seclusion only fifteen minutes by car and train from the heart of the city. An ideal environment for the professional person, retirement or raising a family.
In recent years, the current owners have sympathetically restored the property to its former glory. As you walk from room to room you are greeted by original wooden flooring, original fireplaces, coving and ceiling roses which have been lost from so many houses of this period.
You enter the property through a welcoming hallway complete with an immaculate parquet floor and feature staircase. Immediately on your left are two substantial dual aspect reception rooms with front bay windows. The rooms have sunny westerly aspect and are flooded with natural light. The room enjoys a feeling of charm and grandeur which will never leave you. On the opposite side of the main hallway there is a further dual aspect reception room of slightly larger proportions with westerly and southerly aspects. Currently utilised as a grand office, it would make a magnificent formal dining room. As you move towards the rear of the hallway, you find the kitchen on the left and a third reception room on your right.
The spacious kitchen boasts a range of base and wall mounted units and walk-in shelved butlerâs pantry giving a wealth of prep and storage space to the aspiring chef. Moving through the kitchen, you come to a traditional scullery which provides a great cloak room and comes complete with lovely original Victorian sink and butlers bells. You will see a second staircase which leads to the original maidâs quarters. This wonderful quirk has been transformed into a lovely bathroom. The perfect foil for muddy teenage rugby players!
The third public room would make a superb breakfast room or family room overlooking the expansive rear garden. Through this room you find a well-proportioned historic extension with French doors onto the garden which would be perfect as a gym, office, studio or downstairs bedroom.
As you climb the stairs to the first floor, you are greeted with a remarkable stained glass window which provides the landing with natural light. There is a floor to ceiling mahogany linen cupboard for storage, a beautiful master bathroom, which has been refitted in marble, and four generous double bedrooms. A door leads you to a further staircase which takes you to the magnificent second floor loft room. This bright spacious master suite occupies the whole footprint of the house and has a long list of possible uses and could be divided into two or three additional rooms. There is also well-lit extensive storage areas in the four eves.
The house sits on almost an acre of grounds with extensive private gardens to the front and rear. The manicured floodlit lawns are relatively low maintenance and there is a garage in the secure, private, tall walled back garden area. The front walled private garden is laid to lawn, bordered by mature rhododendron bushes, and also provides a parking area for at least four cars easily accessed from the quiet side road, Mochrum Road.
This is a magnificent example of a traditional Victorian home in a Victorian conservation setting. Grandeur and style are rare qualities and the property should be viewed to be fully appreciated. It is simply stunning.
