Outstanding refurbished family home.
29 Glasgow Street is a stunning C listed traditional detached family home sitting in extensive gardens, approached via a semi-circular driveway with two entrances. The property dates from around 1850 and is constructed of blonde sandstone under a slate roof. Inside, the house has been comprehensively upgraded and refurbished by the present owners over the last four years and is now a beautifully presented property. Many wonderful period features remain, such as intricate plasterwork and stained glass windows, alongside more recently introduced elements such as the contemporary bathroom fittings and a thoroughly modern kitchen.
The accommodation begins with an entrance porch flanked by imposing pillars which leads to the double doors opening into the vestibule. This has a part-glazed door into the broad reception hallway which displays fine cornicing and a solid oak floor running throughout the ground floor. All the main reception rooms are off the hallway and a staircase leads from here to the upper floor.
The elegant drawing room to the front has tall windows on two sides, a continuation of the solid oak flooring, deep cornicing and a decorative fireplace with log burner. The formal dining room is another front facing room. From the rear hallway the fabulous contemporary kitchen/family room is accessed. This is a particular highlight of the house with sleek Neff kitchen with grey and green fitted floor and wall units, designed by Ashley Anne of Stirling and built in the Scottish Highlands. The central island breakfast bar with solid stone surface bridges the main kitchen to the bright family sitting area and there are doors leading out to the patio. There is a sizeble home office/bedroom 5 on the ground floor. The utility room and a WC complete the lower level.
A splendid original staircase leads to the upper floor. At the half landing point is a beautiful large stained glass window over the archway to the four piece family bathroom. Off the main upper landing are four double bedrooms including the principal bedroom with en suite shower room. There is a separate WC and large store.
The gardens of 29 Glasgow Street are generous with lawns front and sides interspersed with fine mature trees and shrubs and recently relandscaped and planted borders. There is a terrace to the side, a double garage and large log store.
