A contemporary townhouse within the Stirling Prize-winning Accordia development
This striking modern townhouse, built in 2006, is positioned on a pedestrianised terrace, screened by mature trees alongside Aberdeen Avenue. The highly regarded Accordia development won the 2008 RIBA Stirling Prize and is known for its beautiful integration of stylish housing with green spaces. The property offers approximately 3,014 sq ft of bright, well-proportioned accommodation and integral garage space, arranged over four floors, with extensive glazing and leafy views creating a sense of space, light and privacy.
The front door opens into an inviting entrance hall with generous built-in coat storage, leading to a well-appointed kitchen and spacious adjoining breakfast/sitting room, ideal for everyday living and entertaining. French doors open directly onto the front terrace, and also into the central courtyard garden, designed as a winter garden, drawing natural light into the space and creating a seamless flow between indoors and out. The kitchen itself is well appointed with extensive storage, ample preparation space, and recently upgraded integrated appliances including a Neff double oven and five-burner gas hob, and a Bosch full-height fridge and dishwasher. Off the rear hallway beside the courtyard area is a laundry/utility room and an attractive ground-floor shower room with WC. At the rear of the house there is internal access to the integral garage, which has an EV charger and an electrically operated sliding door onto Richard Foster Road.
A timber staircase leads to the first-floor landing and dual-aspect sitting room, where floor-to-ceiling picture windows frame views of mature trees to the front and over the courtyard garden to the rear. Glazing on the landing also overlooks the courtyard, while a glazed door opens onto the terrace, a perfect space for al fresco dining and quiet relaxation.
At the rear of the first-floor terrace is a versatile room suitable for use as a bedroom, home office or hobby room, with sliding glazed doors onto the terrace and a separate staircase leading down to the rear hallway, close to the shower room.
The second floor has two double bedrooms, one at the front and one at the rear, each with French doors opening onto a Juliet balcony. A recently refitted shower room, with a large shower, basin, WC and bidet, is accessible from both the shared landing and the larger front bedroom. The front bedroom also benefits from built-in storage.
On the third floor is the generous principal suite with a beautifully refitted en suite bathroom including a freestanding oval bath, separate shower cubicle, basin and WC. A sliding glass door opens from the bedroom onto a private terrace at the front. The principal bedroom connects to a dressing room, formerly a separate bedroom, with French doors onto a Juliet balcony at the rear. The dressing room could be reinstated as a separate bedroom if required.
