Argyll Avenue, Stirling, FK8

This lovely property was built around 1904 and extends to 95 square metres over two storeys. Downstairs, the accommodation comprises a spacious sitting room, dining room and kitchen, sun porch, and a large understairs cupboard. Upstairs, there are three good-sized double bedrooms and a family bathroom.

The property is entered via a storm porch with terracotta tiles into a bright and welcoming hallway which leads to all downstairs accommodation and the stairs to the upper level.

The airy sitting room overlooks the front of the property through a bay window. A marble fireplace surrounds an electric living-flame fire, creating a charming focal point for the room, with a shelved alcove to the side providing display or storage space.

Backing onto this, and with windows over the sunny back garden, the dining room is a generous size with plenty of space for a family size table. This room benefits from a large press cupboard which provides storage and houses the property’s new Worcester boiler. A gas fire provides a focal point and ensures the room remains cosy whatever the weather.

Leading from the dining room, the L-shaped kitchen is fitted with a good range of beech-effect units with granite-effect worktops, and equipped with an electric cooker with double ovens and an induction hob. There is also a Bosch washing machine and a Bosch larder-style fridge-freezer, ceramic floor tiles and terracotta-style wall tiles.

A sunny porch leads from the kitchen to the back garden, providing not only shelf storage, but also a lovely intermediate space from which to enjoy the garden, even in inclement weather.

Moving upstairs, there are three good-sized double bedrooms, two of which have built-in storage.

The family bathroom overlooks the front of the property. It is fully tiled and fitted with a cream suite comprising a bath with shower over, WC and wash-hand basin in a vanity unit.

The property is double glazed throughout, with warmth and hot water provided by a gas-powered Worcester boiler that was installed in September 2023. It also benefits from a fully floored loft.

Moving outside, the property benefits from a lovely sunny south-facing garden, comprising a good-sized paved patio area, an area of lawn, bordered by beds planted with mature shrubs and flowering annuals.
