Description

Laverock Bank is a distinctive architect-designed single storey house built in an elevated position within the grounds of Westerdunes House, making the most of the wonderful views over the surrounding gardens and coastline. The accommodation is arranged over one level beginning with a light filled hallway lined with useful built in storage and doors leading out to the sheltered south facing terrace. Off the hallway is the kitchen/dining/living space which is thoughtfully designed with generous storage and high quality integrated appliances. There is room for a breakfast bar, a dining table and comfortable seating by double doors leading out to a terrace overlooking the golf course and shoreline. The sitting room is adjacent and has large scale dual aspect windows and a log burning stove. The principal bedroom suite is located off the rear of the sitting room, and is divided into a study area, dressing room with bespoke storage, recently renovated generous en suite bathroom with separate bath and shower and the principal bedroom which leads to a private terrace. A further three double bedrooms are all located on the west side of the house, including one with its own en suite shower and gym and access to a private terrace. The accommodation on this side of the house is completed by an additional separate shower room and utility room.

The house is reached through private gate piers which are shared with Westerdunes House. There is a garage with parking for several cars alongside. To the front of the house is a large lawn bordered with flowerbeds and circular stone built seating to make the most of the views. The majority of the garden is to the rear of the house benefitting from the southerly aspect and is divided into separate zones including a large terrace directly onto the house flanked by colourful and well stocked flowerbeds which leads to an expanse of lawn with a charming summerhouse. Finally at the rear of the garden is a semi-enclosed parterre with gates leading into a dedicated growing garden with raised beds and a greenhouse. The garden is bounded by a stone wall to the east and south. The house also benefits from private gated access from Abbotsford Road.
