20 Albert Road, Broughty Ferry, DD5 1AZ

Albert Road is one of Broughty Ferry's most established addresses, a broad, quiet street lined with mature trees, set back from the pace of Broughty Ferry's high street yet close enough to reach it on foot in minutes. Broughty Bowling Club, founded in 1875, sits on the same road, and the local primary and secondary schools are all less than a five minute walk. The spire of St Stephen's Church rises above the rooftops just beyond the south-facing garden, part of the settled, leafy character of this stretch of the Ferry. Properly residential in feel, yet within comfortable walking distance of the shops and the seafront, it offers both at once.

Number 20 is a detached, Betts-built dormer bungalow, set back from the road behind a gravel driveway with parking for several cars, leading to a garage fitted with designated workshop space serviced by power and light.

The hall sets the tone from the front door and opens to a wooden staircase with wrought iron balusters rising to the upper floor. Two public rooms sit off the hall, a living room and a separate dining room, both well proportioned. The kitchen completes the ground floor, along with two of the home's four bedrooms and a family bathroom, giving genuine flexibility for single level living if needed. Upstairs, two further bedrooms and a second bathroom complete the accommodation. Storage is well catered for throughout the home due to additional storage in the eaves and a cellar. Gas central heating and double glazing run throughout.

The garden is the house's real asset. Well screened by mature hedging on all sides, it's private and quiet, with a lawn giving space to enjoy and a paved patio close to the house for sitting out. Established trees and beds of hydrangeas in pink and white carry colour long into autumn. A garden shed sits discreetly to the rear.
