Bonaccord House, 47 Perth Road, Stanley, Perth, PH1

A traditional village home with beautiful gardens.

Description

The principal part of Bonaccord House is a traditional stone-built property believed to date from about 1900. In later years a rendered extension was added onto the western side of the property which is now ripe for a sympathetic modernisation.

The house is south facing and has some beautiful architectural features. Subject to obtaining the relevant consents, it has potential to be adapted to suit a range of requirements whether for multi-generational living or for buyers requiring workshop/studio space.

The original stone section of the house has a pleasing symmetrical façade with a (former) front door flanked by two bay windowed reception rooms. Attractive architectural features include timber arches between the sitting room and staircase hall, a timber floor, the original staircase, cornicework and two decorative fireplaces. With the later extension, a new front door was created by the entrance driveway, along with a new reception hall, a dining room, a garden room and a kitchen with AGA and breakfast area. Additional practical rooms on the ground floor include a study, utility room, pantry, cloakroom and two WCs.

On the first floor the main bedroom suite has a large dressing room and bathroom. There are three further bedrooms (one with en suite shower room) and a bathroom. Bedroom 4 is a small single bedroom.

Garage
Attached to Bonaccord House is a double garage with windows overlooking the garden and which has space for two cars along with storage and workshop space. Above the garage is a large floored loft which (subject to obtaining the relevant consents) offers potential for conversion.

Outside
Bonaccord House is set in 0.9 acres of beautifully landscaped garden. The house has an in and out driveway with plenty of parking space beside its outbuildings. An ancient cedar tree dominates a section of the expansive lawn which is planted with herbaceous borders as well as a lovely rose walk. A neat stone terrace splits the lawn into two levels and an ornamental pond is filled with water lilies. A pretty paved terrace in front of the house is ideal for sitting out in summer.
