Attractive Georgian family house situated on the outskirts of the village.
Viewbank is a spacious and attractive detached Georgian house set in a peaceful residential setting on the northern outskirts of Auchtermuchty. Due to its elevation, the house, particularly on the first floor, has wonderful south facing views over the village and towards the Lomond Hills beyond.
The ground floor accommodation is approached from the rear of the house, leading into a rear hall, off which is the kitchen / breakfast room, a butler's pantry with original cabinets, and the home office with shower room off which could be used as a guest bedroom with en suite. The kitchen / breakfast room is fitted with a range of units and solid wood worktops. An opening leads into a secondary kitchen to the side, with a plumbed utility room off it. The original front hall sits in the heart of the house and has a door to the porch flanked by stained glass windows, which then leads out into the garden. The two front facing reception rooms sit off this main hall, and offer spacious proportions and lovely south-facing views. The dining / family room has a door from the kitchen, ornate ceiling cornicing and a log burning stove set into the fireplace. The sitting room also has original cornicework, two shelved alcoves set either side of a fireplace, and a large bay window overlooking the garden. A door opens into the vinery and greenhouse.
The first floor is reached via the elegant stone staircase, with original curved wooden banister leading up from the main hall. Situated off the landing are four double bedrooms of equal proportions. The principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes and its own en suite shower room. The views to the south from the front-facing rooms are spectacular. There are also two linen cupboards off the landing. A split in the staircase leads to the rooms at the back of the house. These include a snug, the fifth bedroom and the family bathroom.
Outside
Viewbank sits in its own private walled garden, and is approached by a driveway to the rear of the house. This leads to a courtyard where there is ample parking, a double garage and an excellent range of other outhouses. These include the boiler room, potting shed, and a gardener's store with WC. A door from the courtyard acts as the rear but principal entrance into the house.
The front, south facing garden is overlooked by a paved terrace at the top, immediately outside the original front door to the house. This is a charming spot for barbecues and outdoor entertaining. Adjoining the west side of the house is a greenhouse and vinery which has a door leading into the sitting room. The garden is enclosed by a rich variety of mature shrubs and trees providing it with a great deal of shelter and privacy. A side garden sits to the west of the principal garden which could be used for growing vegetables or creating a chicken run.
