4 bedroom detached villa for sale

St. Edmunds is a C Listed Arts & Crafts villa, designed by architect John Gibb Morton in 1904 and must be one of the finest examples of this period in Scotland. It exhibits some outstanding architectural and interior design features, including a stunning staircase and stained leaded clear storey window, woodwork, brassware, noteworthy plasterwork, fireplaces and a rather unique “fish scales” slate roof.

It is a home that discerning clients will appreciate and value and it is located within one of Milngavie’s most highly regarded corners – the Tannoch district. It is close by the village centre and on the doorstep of Drumclog Moor and Allander Park. It sits amidst a beautiful garden that includes soft and hard landscaped areas, formal grounds and established gardens, with a delightful stone flagged westerly facing terrace running across the length of the house at the rear. In recent times, our client has built a substantial garage block with large double garage, workshop/utility, toilet and, on the first floor level, a full studio with dormer windows that can easily be developed further to create a granny/au pairs flat, with living room/kitchen, bedroom and shower room.

The property itself truly is a beautiful home and full appreciation can only really be by viewing it. In summary, it offers vestibule, gorgeous wood panelled hall with its magnificent staircase, which ascends via the stained leaded window to a galleried upper hall with original fitted bookcases/library. Drawing room, dining room, gentleman’s study, home office, butler’s pantry, dining kitchen with Aga, utility/laundry with toilet compartment and cloakroom with guest toilet completes the ground floor accommodation. On the first floor, there is a master bedroom suite with hall, dressing room, shower room and large bedroom, a northerly suite with bedroom, box room with fold down bed and en-suite shower room, two further double bedrooms (four bedrooms in total) and, to service these, a four piece family bathroom with free standing oval bath. The property has a lower floor, which is accessed via a “secret door and passage” and here you will find a games/media room, wine cellar and storeroom (music room). The property has an efficient gas central heating system, most windows are double glazed, the exception being the feature stained leaded windows and there is a sophisticated alarm system.

St. Edmunds is located in Milngavie’s highly regarded Tannoch district and is about half a mile north of the village centre. It is by Drumclog Moor and Allander Park – perfect for Sunday strolls and walking the dog. Nearby also is the local beauty spot of Tannoch Loch. Local schooling is excellent, with Milngavie Primary about half a mile away and secondary at the excellent Douglas Academy. In Milngavie, and around the corner on Mugdock Road, is Athol Preparatory school, feeder for Glasgow Academy. Recreationally Milngavie has tennis clubs, golf courses and the excellent Virgin Active Health, Raquets and Golf Club.
