3 bedroom detached house for sale

Harper & Stone are delighted to present to the open market Westertoun Farmhouse in Dollar. This period home began life as a single dwelling around 1790 then in 1860 a second, larger house was built attached to the first. The buildings were completely restored 20 years ago, when the two separate houses were opened up to become one. Thus, in 2004, this traditional property was given all the advantages of a modern build which included a new roof, double glazed windows, new doors, new wiring and electrics, plumbing, central heating and insulation, while still retaining all the charm of a period house. In 2008 a small conservatory was built at the door of the original farmhouse.

The accommodation comprises:

Ground Floor- vestibule, entrance hall, bedroom, dining room/lounge, WC, Kitchen/dining room, utility and conservatory.
First floor- large lounge/library, master bedroom and en suite, single bedroom, and family bathroom.

At the front door to the main house there is a stone portico which has been given C-listed status. Entrance to the property is through double storm doors into a small vestibule, then a glazed door leading into an entrance hall. Two rooms lead from here, a large downstairs bedroom with an en suite and a large formal dining room which could also be used as a lounge. The dining room provides access via three steps through to the original farmhouse which houses the kitchen/dining room, utility and downstairs WC.

Rising from the entrance hall, a wrought iron staircase features a large window on the landing, allowing lots of light to flood the space. The stairs lead to a room extending the length of the original house. This is currently used as a sitting room, library and office space but costed plans would allow the area to be converted into two large bedrooms with en-suites. There is a decorative fireplace which uses LPG gas and a large built-in bookcase. This room also provides access to the bedrooms via five steps which bridge where the two properties join.

The master bathroom has ample built-in storage space and provides an en-suite bathroom with shower, vanity and extra storage space. A single bedroom provides a fitted wardrobe. Completing this level is the family bathroom which consists of WC, sink, vanity and sit-in bath with overhead shower.

Descending to the ground floor, the open plan kitchen/dining area brings a modern flow to this lovely home. The kitchen features ample wall and base units in a washed beech finish and a stone tiled floor. Included are a large pantry style cupboard, 5-ring gas hob, integrated oven, extra size Corian sink and one appliance space. There is also an integrated space for a microwave and room for a large American-style fridge freezer. Please note that non-integrated appliances can be included in the sale if required. A utility room sits off the kitchen, providing under stair storage, utility sink and additional appliance space.

The dining area features an LPG gas fuelled stove, creating a focal point in the room. Off this space sits a sunny conservatory facing south onto a stone patio. A lovely space to enjoy a morning coffee or to entertain guests. A downstairs WC completes the ground floor accommodation.

Externally, there is a double garage with a side door and two manual doors to the front. There is power, lighting and a garden tap inside. There is ample parking for multiple cars on the driveway and a greenhouse to the side. The garden features a south facing patio to enjoy the evening sun in tranquil surroundings. A stone path leads around to a lawn area with a water feature, with mature shrubs and trees surrounding the property. The house sits within a steading just outside the town of Dollar, surrounded by beautiful countryside, but still allowing for a sense of community.

This property offers someone a wonderful opportunity to own a beautiful period home with all the benefits of a modern property, with scope to add more bedrooms if required.

The sale will include all fitted floor coverings, light fittings, window coverings, and integrated appliances where applicable. Any other items, including non-integrated appliances are to be by separate negotiation with the seller.

Viewings are strictly by appointment only via Harper & Stone.
