Description

This impressive Victorian sandstone semi-detached house, built in the late 1800s, is an oasis of calm in the prime conservation location of Tannoch Loch and only minutes from Mugdock Country Park and the Mugdock and Craigmaddie Reservoirs. The property has been meticously upgraded and subject to a creative redesign in recent years to include two additional floors, one a contemporary living space opening onto the garden (family living room, utility room, hall and storage) and the other a contemporary fourth loft bedroom.

On arrival, the front door opens onto a mosaic tiled front porch with original glass windows and a wide entrance hall with guest WC, separated from the kitchen and sitting room. The exquisite kitchen unfolds across almost the entirety of the ground floor, illuminated by a full-height window that looks onto the garden, with space for dining. The kitchen is centred around a large island unit, with Silestone worktops and integrated applicances. Storage is abundant, with a separate utility in the same design. Accessed from the entrance hall is a formal sitting room, set across the west range of this floor, with original plaster cornicing, a contemporary oak fireplace and working fire. Dulwich Engineered Oak by Atkins & Kirby run throughout the entire ground floor, adding texture.

The central staircase has oak treads and rises from the ground-floor entrance hall to the first floor. Three well-proportioned, light-filled bedrooms lie on the first floor, alongside two shower rooms. The first shower room has been redesigned with new fittings and brushed chrome fixtures, while the other is a recent addition with Carrara white honed marble floor tiles, brass accents and modern fittings, including a double-ended bath from Villeroy & Boch. The master bedroom is positioned at the west side of the home, with original plaster cornicing, built-in wardrobes and expansive bay windows filled with greenery throughout the year. The final bedroom crowns the top of the house, with a vaulted ceiling and multiple skylights, pouring light into the space. Contemporary detailing, quality materials and a sense of calm are apparent throughout the home.

On the newly created garden level, there is a versatile space which has been used as a cinema and additional living room, which could also make an excellent office space, private gym or further accommodation. Underfloor heating is present throughout. Within the space is an additional utility area and generous cellar space for storage. A wall of window, contained by bespoke wood doors from a popular local joiner, frames the rear garden. These doors open to reveal a peaceful sandstone patio area, which has been levelled to ensure a sense of flow between indoors and out. Outside there is a sizable rear garden, with a well-manicured lawn surrounded by mature planting. There is also a south-facing terrace off the ground floor; a peaceful vantage point to enjoy the sun throughout the day and perfect for alfresco dining. Wisteria bursts along and up the south façade of the home. To the front, a gravel driveway with an EV charger provides ample off-street space for two vehicles and is bordered by a stone wall and additional mature planting.

Exceeding over 2,000 sq feet over four storeys, with generous outdoor living space and planning permission for a side extension, this property offers a rare opportunity to acquire in a much coveted area. In all, the property provides four bedrooms, two expansive living rooms (the garden room and the formal sitting room), a modern kitchen, WC, two shower rooms, boot room and a utility room.The house was reroofed in 2010, with double glazed, sash & case windows throughout, and an efficient gas central heating system with brand new boiler. Security features are by CSS.

As seen from the photographs and video, this property has been subject to a radical, light-enhancing intervention, with paint colours selected by Joa Studholme, the Color Curator of Farrow & Ball and author of Farrow & Ball titles including How to Decorate. It is unquestionably one of the best appointed and presented homes of its type to grace the market.
