Description

Closing Date set on 24/04/24 at 12pm.

2 Corrennie Gardens is a well-presented, delightful two storey family home offering bright, spacious and comfortable accommodation set over ground and first floors, forming the major part of a substantial detached Villa. With predominantly east, north and south facing aspects the property benefits from plenty of natural light throughout the day further enhanced by the large stained glass window in the stairwell. The house has been tastefully modernised by the current owners. There is a successful blend of modern fixtures and fittings yet retaining much of the property's original charm with a range of period features including the original timber stair, exposed timber flooring in the reception rooms and hall, decorative plasterwork and cornicing as well as the mantelpieces. With generous proportions, superb family living and reception space throughout the ground floor and flexibility to have four comfortable double bedrooms this is a superb home.

The front door is set to the east side of the house and opens to a welcoming vestibule and on into the reception hall from where the principal living accommodation is accessed and the stair rises to the upper floor. The elegant sitting room has a timber floor, delightful bay window, impressive mantelpiece and decorative plasterwork. To the other side of the hallway is the generously proportioned third bedroom with a shower room adjacent with a large storage cupboard set under the stair. A cloakroom with excellent storage sits between the sitting room and the fourth bedroom, which is currently used as a dining room. This room benefits from another mantelpiece, cornicing and a charming view over the colourful front garden. The kitchen is set to the rear of the house and is accessed through a small internal hall where there is another large store. The kitchen is well appointed and has ample space for a breakfasting table. To the rear of the kitchen there is a useful utility room with a door to the rear patio and garden. A rear stair rises from the kitchen to the former Maid's room, now used as a home office/study, where there is a further large storage cupboard.

On the upper floor there are two further comfortable double bedrooms as well as a family bathroom.

The house is set on a generous corner plot and is positioned well back from the road, approached by a gated stone path leading to the front door. The garden to the front and north of the house are exclusive to this property and have been carefully planted by the current owners to provide excellent screening and privacy as well as colour for much of the year. Immediately to the rear of the house is a generous south facing patio which is a wonderful place to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine. A path leads through a vegetable and fruit garden to the main portion of the rear garden which is exceptionally private. The garden has been beautifully tended and has a variety of mature plants and shrubs. A driveway provides ample parking for a few cars and leads to the detached single garage.
