5 bedroom detached house for sale

Delightful detached family home with a wonderfully mature walled garden, parking and garage, now requiring some modernisation

Description

13 Corrennie Gardens is a beautifully proportioned and delightful detached family home offering bright, spacious and comfortable accommodation over two floors. With both east and west facing aspects the property benefits from plenty of natural light throughout the day further enhanced by the large west facing bay window in the sitting room. The house retains much of its original charm with a range of period features including an ornate glass window in the vestibule, impressive timber stair, decorative plasterwork and cornicing as well as the mantelpieces. The house has been a much loved family home for a number of years and has now reached a stage where modernising is likely to be required by an incoming purchaser. There is huge opportunity to enhance this wonderful house to create a superb family home to cater for modern family living. There is opportunity to extend to the side, the rear and into the attic, subject to the necessary consents.

The front door 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 and dining room are situated to the front of the house while the kitchen and family room are at the rear of the property. The family room opens to the south-east facing garden and a patio immediately to the rear of the house. The kitchen is accessed via an inner hallway with pantry, and leads on to the utility room to the rear which has a wc and two useful storage cupboards. There is a further access to the garden from the utility room. A set of stairs leads up from the kitchen to the former maid's room, which could be an excellent study, play room or fifth bedroom. There is also a downstairs cloak room with WC.

The main stair rises to the first floor where the bedroom accommodation is situated. There are four generously proportioned double bedrooms along with a family bathroom and well appointed Jack and Jill shower room. There is a hatch providing access to the extensive attic. There is significant potential to convert this into additional accommodation, if required, subject to the necessary consents.

The house is set well back from the quiet road and is approached by a gated driveway which leads to a single garage to the south side of the house, as well as a path leading to the front door. To the front of the house is a mature garden which benefits from the afternoon and evening sunlight while to the rear of the house there is a substantial, mature and colourful east and south facing walled garden which benefits from an abundance of light throughout most of the day. The garden has a wide variety of specimen plants, shrubs and trees, which provide an abundance of colour for much of the year. The garden also contains a south facing summer house, providing a great area to enjoy the sun throughout the year.
