Description

Location

Avenel is located on the western fringe of the attractive west Renfrewshire village of Kilmacolm. The entire site extends to some eight acres, formerly the gardens of Avenel House, and fringes both the village and open countryside and farmland.
The exclusive Avenel project comprises only six houses. 2 Knockbuckle Lane is set amid established woodland gardens of about 1.08 acres with common access to the bluebell wood which forms part of the site.

The centre of Kilmacolm is a level walk of about 1500 yards and the village has local stores offering everyday provisions, popular village restaurants and coffee shops.

The village has a thriving social community and there are clubs catering for golf, tennis, squash and bowling. Kilmacolm Golf Club is about a mile away at the top of the village and offers a challenging 18 hole heath/parkland course designed by the acclaimed James Braid. Kilmacolm also now has an excellent health and fitness centre at Birkmyre Park.

The surrounding countryside is some of the most attractive in West Renfrewshire and for the outdoor enthusiast this is fine walking country. The Sustrans cycle track leads to many other parts of central Scotland.

Kilmacolm has an excellent local primary school and the independent St Columba's, with its enviable record of academic achievement, richly deserves its sought after label. Glasgow has further independent schooling.

The A761 leads to the A737 and subsequently to the M8 motorway corridor which provides fast motor road access to central Scotland and beyond.

Description

The properties at Avenel have been designed by Hugh Petter of Adam Architecture, a renowned classical architect and adviser to the Duchy of Cornwall. Through a combination of Petter's design, the quality of construction and the high level of finishes, properties in the Avenel development won The Glasgow Herald Luxury Home of the Year Award in 2009 and 2011.

2 Knockbuckle Lane is a handsome detached house of roughcast finish with dressed honey blonde sandstone under a slate roof finished with elegant leadwork over its bay windows. It blends perfectly into its mature garden setting of approx 1.08 acres. Built with the solidity of traditional building techniques, it offers a quality of workmanship and attention to detail generally only found in period properties.

The property is accessed via private electrically operated wooden gates. The impressive front entrance of the house and its integral double garage with electrically operated doors are approached by a sweeping granite gravel driveway, illuminated at night by low level lighting columns. The garden areas around the driveway retain many of the original Avenel trees, including a particularly fine beech tree, and they have been enhanced with new planting around the integrated garage. A path leads round to the rear of the property and further path around the western elevation of the house provides access to the south-westerly facing lawn and a limestone sun terrace.

Double storm doors lead to a vestibule then to a T-shaped reception hallway with St Arbois Italian limestone flooring, excellent storage, cornice and staircase to upper level.

It leads to a cloakroom, kitchen, sitting room, dining room, drawing room and wc.

The dining room has cornicing, a wall press, and a smoked oak floor. It has a connecting door to the drawing room.

The drawing room enjoys windows on three aspects, with a bow window incorporating a door leading directly into the garden. It has a Chesneys Alhambra limestone fireplace housing a gas flame effect fire. It has the same oak flooring as the dining room.

The sitting room also has a Chesney's Metro limestone fireplace with an oval limestone basket housing a gas flame effect fire. From the sitting room a door leads to the breakfast room and kitchen.

The kitchen is by Porcelanosa and is open plan with the breakfast room. The units are at wall mounted and counter levels with granite worktops which incorporate two sinks, a four burner induction hob with single gas burner. Other appliances include wine cooler, coffee machine, warming drawer, conventional oven, steam oven with microwave/conventional oven, larder, fridge and dishwasher.

The breakfast area is large enough to accommodate a dining table and informal seating. The entire kitchen and breakfast area is generously fitted with points for power and lighting, TV, phones and data as well as wiring to permit the installation of in-ceiling audio speakers linked to the computer-controlled audio system within the house. A control panel is also fitted for the remotely-controlled access to the common and private gate entry systems. The area is floored throughout with the same smoked oak timber floors used elsewhere in the house.


Off the kitchen is a back lobby which also serves as a boot room and leads to a shower room, a walk in larder, a utility room with floor and wall mounted units and Siemens washer and dryer, a home office and a garage. There is a staircase to the first floor living space above the garage from the back lobby.

The first floor has a substantial landing off which are five bedrooms, excellent storage and a communications cupboard housing the home technology wiring.

All the bedrooms have en suite and are provided with table lamp, power and data points and wiring to permit the installation of in-ceiling audio speakers linked to the computer controlled audio system within the house. All bedrooms have hand crafted fitted wardrobes.

The master has a large dressing room and an en suite bathroom with wc, Victoria and Albert Toulouse freestanding bath, double vanity basins with recessed sinks stone tops and a wet room style shower.

The large double garage can accommodate two Audi Q7 vehicles or their equivalent in size. Its lighting and the twin doors in natural Hemlock wood can be automatically operated from within the garage or remotely from the car and can be linked to the plot's gate entry system. Extensive electrical and data points are provided within the garage.

Above the garage and accessed from the staircase off the back lobby is further flexible living space. This could be used as a home office, playroom, nanny's quarters or teenagers' living space. This space benefits from being in close proximity to the private side entrance and utility room and enjoys some privacy from the main house. There is provision for an en suite facility, bedroom and lounge area to be installed in this area in the future.

The property has under floor heating to all rooms (excluding larder) and a heat recovery system, where moist and stale air is extracted to a heat exchange unit in the attic, where up to 75% of the heat is transferred to clean, filtered air which is circulated throughout the house. It has an intelligent intruder system with flush contacts on all external doors, passive infrared sensors throughout the ground floor and in the upper hall and a panic button on the ground floor and in the master bedroom. At the purchaser's request, wiring for CCTV monitoring cameras can be installed at key external points of the house.

The house benefits from a state of the art technology and home automation system providing audio, home entertainment, communication and security systems. These can be controlled by internet and phone.
