5 bedroom detached house for sale

Impressive and extremely well presented 5 bedroom detached home extending to approximately 189 SQM, Sandholme style, with quality finishes throughout and an appealing and generous layout. Set in a cul de sac location with easy access to local amenities. There is an enclosed South facing landscaped garden to the rear, open plan front garden and driveway leading to an integrated double garage.

Although this house is now over four years old, it was bought from Stewart Milne Homes by the current owners as a sale and leaseback showhome, meaning the owners allowed Stewart Milne to continue to use the showhome whilst paying a rental agreement to the owners.

As a result, this wonderful home has never been lived in, has been maintained in pristine condition and none of the appliances and furnishing have been used. Therefore everything remains in show home condition.

The accommodation arranged over two floors comprises - welcoming entrance hall, sitting room with feature gas fire, double doors from this stylish room allow access to the kitchen/dining/family room providing a flexible layout that can be opened and closed to suit; large kitchen/dining/family room which is fitted with an excellent selection of fitted units, and wide range of premium appliances, a breakfast bar area and ample room for dining and relaxing, two sets of patio doors give direct access to the garden; utility with further storage and a cloakroom with WC off.

On the first floor a large landing provides a useful study area; principal bedroom with walk in wardrobe and en suite bathroom with separate shower; four further bedrooms, two of which benefit from en suite shower rooms; and family bathroom.

The property benefits from a full central heating system where an environmentally friendly Daikin boiler utilises both gas and an air source heat pump to reduce running costs. It is also double glazed throughout. The consortium grounds are factored by Ross & Liddell, whilst the private front gardens and open space on this Stewart Milne Homes' phase are maintained and factored by Speirs Gumley, with an approximate combined annual fee of £280.
