Lammerton Terrace, Dundee, DD4

Lammerton Terrace is a wide, treelined street on the north side of Dundee. Within easy reach of the Kingsway, its stone villas give the road a settled, traditional character.  Built in early 1990s, number 35 takes the corner plot, an individually designed detached bungalow featuring blond sandstone beneath a slate roof. It has been in the same family’s hands for over 30 years.  Local schools and shops are close by.

A block pavioured driveway, accessed via a double gate, gives parking for several cars and leads to a garage with an electric door, fitted with power and light inside.  The external woodwork has been recently painted.   Outside, the garden wraps the corner position on two sides, bordered by mature hedging that keeps it private from the street.

A pathway leads to the front door, and a vestibule opens on to a hall that runs the length of the house, giving access to the main rooms.  High ceilings run throughout, lifting the scale of every room, and the house is laid out for entertaining.  A living room and a separate dining room give two formal places to gather. A study off the hall makes for a proper home office.

The kitchen is large enough to provide a dining area and gives access to a utility room. The kitchen also has a sitting area alongside it, a third room for daily use rather than the occasion.  The utility room gives access to the driveway for everyday practicalities. Gas central heating, run from a modern boiler, and full double-glazing is fitted throughout.

Three bedrooms lead off the same hall.  The principal, with built in wardrobes, has its own ensuite arranged as a Jack and Jill with a second door onto the hall, the other two bedrooms share a separate family bathroom. The dining room could just as easily serve as a fourth bedroom, giving the household room to grow without changing the fabric of the house.

Storage is generous, with built in hallway cupboards, a large loft adding further space for storage, or subject to the necessary consents, further accommodation. With over 200 square metres of accommodation on a single floor, the whole house can be lived in without ever climbing a stair, practical now and just as practical as the years go on.

A rare find: an individually designed stone bungalow with 200 square metres carried on a single floor.
