Bandon Avenue, Kirkcaldy, KY1

If there was a competition for Kirkcaldy Home Of The Year, this wonderfully bright, spacious and extended 4 bed Victorian stone-built semi-detached villa would be a major contender….. simply an exquisite example of early 20th Century Victorian architecture which marries pared-back period features with a contemporary aesthetic to create very generous spaces filled with natural light. Occupying an enviable position in a sought after, established residential street, this beautiful home has been the subject of exacting renovation and an unabashedly modern 2 floor extension by the current owners, while simultaneously and sensitively retaining some original features. The magnificent extension introduces unexpected volume and establishes a strong relationship with the garden, while providing superb accommodation for the growing family. The result culminates in interior spaces that are at once sophisticated, expansive and serene. The house has lovely front and rear gardens.

The internal accommodation on offer will impress the most discerning viewer as the upgrade throughout and extension has been done to a very high standard. You will enter through a welcoming vestibule which leads to a warm and spacious hallway. First of all, turn left into the bright and airy sitting room with its woodburner stove and triple bay windows overlooking the front of the house. To the right, there is a good sized bedroom which could be used for other purposes, if preferred. Moving on, you will be wowed by the fitted out boot / cloakroom with a fabulous range of fitted storage cupboards. To the rear of the house, you will find an inspirational, high quality, contemporary family dining kitchen with an array of quality appliances and German made high-end kitchen units, a large island with Bosch induction hob and a mesmerising Elica over-island cooker hood. There is supreme quality heat-proof Dekton worktops and matching splashback for aesthetic appeal and functionality and the whole room is rounded off with a beautiful Venetian plaster feature wall to the rear of the dining area where there is plenty space for free-standing furniture. This magnificent room leads to a very generous sized utility / laundry room with an abundance of fitted storage space and Silestone worktops. A small open staircase leads to the spacious garden / sunroom which is flooded with natural light from the glass door and expansive windows which open onto the lovely back garden. This room also features a cast iron woodburner. The lower level of this mesmerising home is completed with a luxury family bathroom with granite worktops, stone sink and Venetian-style plastered walls.
Moving upstairs, you will again be impressed by the plentiful bedroom accommodation comprising 3 large and impeccably presented double bedrooms, each with excellent storage. One very unique feaure is that behind the wardrobe storage in both bedrooms 2 and 3 there are concealed 'gang huts' - ideal spaces for the growing family. The master bedroom boasts a new, contemporary shower-room with a marble sink and a large walk-in shower and there are 2 very handy his-and-hers walk-in-wardrobes. Accommodation is completed with a further charming, modern family shower-room with large walk-in shower. As expected, this beautifully appointed property benefits from gas central heating and uPVC double glazing.

Outside, you will be impressed with the walled, landscaped back garden complete with astro-turf, patio area, shed and a garden room which benefits from an electricity supply, patio doors and a fitted bar, all combining to make it an ideal space for alfresco dining and entertaining friends and family. To the front, there is a small walled front garden which is paved for aesthetic appeal and ease of maintenance.

This property is well-located, just a short distance from the town centre and main-line train station, schools and local and High Street amenities. The town centre benefits from an array of retail outlets, cafes, bars and restaurants, plus the famous foreshore and esplanade overlooking the Firth of Forth, a modern leisure centre, library and the Adam Smith theatre. There are wonderful beaches and parks to be found in the area. Kirkcaldy is an excellent location for commuting. To the northwest of the town you will find excellent facilities at the Fife Central Retail Park and the A92 link road providing commuter access to Scotland's major cities. Edinburgh Airport is also a mere forty-five minutes away.
