Villamill, Avonbridge, Falkirk, FK1

Nestled in the picturesque outskirts of Falkirk, this stunning four bedroom detached villa offers a perfect blend of historical charm and modern luxury. Set on a secluded 0.93 acre plot, and originally built in 1676, has been professionally extended and comprehensively modernised to create a truly exceptional home.

Stepping inside through double doors, the entrance vestibule with the illuminated marriage stone from 1676 is set into the wall. Wood effect tiled flooring, chrome fittings and spotlights flow seamlessly through into the spacious inner hallway, from which almost all rooms are accessed, guided by automatic PIR lighting. The living room is entered through double glazed doors and enjoys dual aspect windows framing picture perfect countryside views. The room features a Stovax log burner set against a porcelain tiled chimney and hearth, designer vertical radiators, and a discreetly concealed home cinema system complete with a remote controlled projector and screen. French doors open directly onto the south facing decking, bringing the outside in.

Leading from the living room, a dual aspect office continues the theme of light filled, well appointed spaces, with countryside views. The dining room, has a  window overlooking the rolling hills, is a particularly special space, polished chrome and crystal LED lighting, oversized high gloss tiles and underfloor heating lend it an air of understated luxury. Beyond glazed double doors from the hallway lies the showpiece dining kitchen, a room that truly excels both functionally and aesthetically. Triple aspect views, including Velux windows in the ceiling, flood the space with natural light throughout the day. Handleless white gloss cabinetry runs throughout, housing a full complement of integrated appliances including ovens, a warming drawer, fridge, freezer, pantry, washing machine, tumble dryer and dishwasher. At the heart of it all sits a stunning island topped with a full slab of Italian quartz, an integrated electric vented induction hob and twin wine racks. French doors lead to the decking, and a second external door opens onto the raised patio, making this kitchen ideal for entertaining at any time of year.

The four double bedrooms are all generously proportioned and individually styled to a high standard, each finished with luxurious  carpet underfoot. The principal bedroom faces east to capture beautiful sunrises. An archway leads through a dressing room, lined with fitted triple mirror-fronted shaker wardrobes and illuminated by PIR lighting, into a sumptuous ensuite featuring a full size bath, double electric shower, and a ceiling-mounted body dryer, all finished in full-height tiling with chrome accents. The second bedroom faces south and enjoys sun throughout the day, it conceals a clever 'secret' ensuite hidden within its fitted wardrobes, complete with a rainfall shower, vanity sink and toilet. The third bedroom, west facing towards the stream has triple fitted wardrobes, while the fourth bedroom captures the evening sun and offers a more intimate, cosy feel. The family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms with a freestanding bath with waterfall taps, an open rainfall shower and a floating vanity, combining to create a space that is the epitome of contemporary luxury.

A full height basement beneath the kitchen provides excellent workshop and storage space, while the attached double garage, accessed from the office, offers ample room for two large vehicles and has been double skinned and primed for electricity and central heating, should conversion ever be desired, as well as separate detached double garage. The home is further equipped with CAT5 network points and TV outlets in most rooms, a 24/7 Redcare monitored alarm system with panic buttons, a comprehensive CCTV system, oil fired central heating fed by a 2,500 litre tank, mains water supply and an underground septic tank. External lighting illuminates the front, sides and rear of the property, and four external cold water taps and outdoor electrical sockets add further convenience. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a home that combines heritage, seclusion and modern refinement in equal measure.
