Description
This most impressive, detached Edwardian villa which dates back to about 1908 is set well back from the road in an exclusive residential setting. Period features include high ceilings, ornate plaster work, ceiling roses, deep skirting boards, panelled doors, open fireplaces and wood panelling. The reception hallway has beautiful parquet flooring. The original house has been sympathetically extended to create a more contemporary wing, creating a substantial and inviting home that is as ideal for entertaining as it is for modern family living.
Entrance is via the stylish covered portico and the accommodation then begins with the original entrance vestibule which has been extended and features an original granite wall encased in solid wood panelling. This area has a cloakroom with WC and wash basin. An elongated hallway gives access to four of the main living spaces and at the end of the corridor is a further WC and wash basin with original window.
About 20 years ago the current owners extended into the outbuildings to create the impressive, generously sized dining kitchen of today. Designed by a Norwegian architect, the space has been extremely well insulated. There is a comprehensive range of handmade cabinets from Drumoak Kitchens, including an island unit, complemented by granite worksurfaces. Appliances include an electric Mercury oven and gas hob and two additional ovens along with a side by side refrigerator and freezer. On the island you will find an additional sink and a wine cooler. Two doors on either side of the dining space lead into the garden and French doors lead into the extension.
An extra long utility room with plumbing for a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer along with other appliances, provides access to the rear garden and into the garage. In the hallway there remains an original window from the downstairs w/c which was part of the original property. Adjacent to the garage is a large walk in storage storage/drying cupboard which houses the boiler. The light and airy home office has ample meeting and storage space with sliding French doors opening into the delightful garden.
A wonderfully versatile bright space is the family room with large bay window overlooking the garden. This room could easily be a ground floor bedroom if desired. The lounge is open plan to the Victorian style conservatory with pitched ceiling. This fabulous room is flooded with natural light and has a beautiful garden aspect. There are electric blinds, single and French doors bringing the outdoors in.
Opposite are the two front reception rooms. With a front bay window is the elegant drawing room with a marble fireplace flanked by alcoves. Adjacent is the formal dining room with a large window featuring leaded detailing and splendid decorative plasterwork on the ceiling. The dining room is large enough to comfortably fit 12 people.
Ascending to the first floor , a flight of three steps leads to superb guest quarters or a teenager’s den. A hallway is central to a seating area which services both bedrooms. A double bedroom which has wonderful French sliding doors leading to a balcony above the rear garden. This bedroom has tall white fitted wardrobes and is serviced by a modern en suite shower room. The front bedroom has wardrobes tailored to ceiling height and two large windows overlooking the front and a smaller opaque window, along with a modern en suite bathroom with over bath shower.
An impressive curved staircase returns back to the main first floor. There are two bedrooms with front and rear aspects. These are both served by a rear facing spacious main bathroom which has a wash basin set in a vanity unit, and separate shower enclosure. The first floor is completed by a superb principal bedroom suite with a new en suite shower room. The dressing room has dual access to both the hallway and bedroom. The staircase continues to the second floor where the landing has a bay window and leads into the snooker/games room. This offers a great relaxation and entertainment space. There are three Velux windows and also on this floor is a useful box room.
For privacy the front garden is bounded by a granite wall and established flower beds. A tarred driveway provides ample parking and turning space. The delightful south facing rear garden is very private and sheltered. Mostly laid in lawn the perimeter is flanked by majestic trees, shrubs and hedges. At the foot of the garden is a secure gate with access to the exclusive and enchanting policies of Rubislaw Den. The garden also boasts a greenhouse with power, water and temperature controlled windows. There are coal and wood stores.
