Attractive Edwardian house with paddock and views to Loch Leven.
Park House is a beautiful Edwardian house built in 1909 (as per an original date stone), set in stunning gardens and grounds that extend to approximately 1.85 acres. The house is approached by a tree-lined driveway, with a separate paddock to the front. The elevated views towards Loch Leven and Benarty Hill to the south and west, as well as Bishop Hill to the north are spectacular. Whilst being an attractive family home, the current owners have previously operated a successful B&B business from the property.
The principal reception rooms at Park House sit off the entrance hall and have superb southwesterly views over the front garden and towards Loch Leven. The sitting room has a large bay window, a side door leading out to the garden and an open fireplace. The dining / family room is divided by a large open arch and also has a bay window with wood panelling set around it, an open fireplace with decorative tiled surround and an alcove with cupboard. The kitchen has doors which open up to the front of the house, and appliances includes a two oven AGA. The adjacent utility room is plumbed for laundry appliances and has excellent storage. A corridor runs along the back of the house, off which there is a ground floor bedroom with en suite shower, WC, cloak cupboard and useful store cupboard.
The staircase leads up from the entrance hall and splits at a halfway landing. The principal suite sits atop the offshoot from the main stairs. The bedroom has triple aspect windows including a large bay with views to the loch, and lovely countryside views to the rear to Bishop Hill. A bathroom with separate shower cubicle sits adjacent. The first floor corridor leads to an office with shelved alcove, and two bedrooms both with wonderful views to Loch Leven. One of the bedrooms has a dressing room, and an en suite bathroom with freestanding bath and separate shower cubicle. The other has an en suite shower room. There is also a home office and family bathroom on this floor. On the second floor there are two further bedrooms, both with loch-facing dormer windows. These bedrooms share a WC off the landing.
GARDENS AND GROUNDS
Stone pillars with wrought-iron gates sit at both the foot and top of the beautiful tree-lined driveway. The drive continues up to the coach house and around to the rear of the house, but also sweep through the second gate and up to the front of the house where there is a generous gravelled parking area.
The front garden is fully walled and comprises fully stocked flowerbeds and borders, mature trees including a beautiful copper beech, noble fir and sycamores, a summerhouse and a breeze house. In front of the garden sits the paddock which extends to approximately 0.6 acres. The coach house / workshop situated at the top of the drive is an excellent outhouse. There is a single garage, and store off the rear courtyard, as well as a gated access onto Back Dykes Road.
