A beautifully extended and recently refurbished villa
Strathlea is an attractive semi-detached Victorian villa on one of Aberfeldy's most desirable residential streets. The house beautifully combines period character with contemporary living and was substantially extended around ten years ago. It has been refurbished again more recently to create a stylish and versatile family home.
The house is entered through a charming traditional porch with plenty of space for boots and coats. To the front of the property, the sitting room overlooks Victoria Park. It has two large windows and space for a wood-burning stove in its fireplace.
Beyond the sitting room, the hall leads past the property‘s two smallest bedrooms to the extension, which has been cleverly designed around a central courtyard at the rear of the house. The extension is now occupied by a superb open-plan kitchen, dining and living area. Sliding glazed doors on either side of the kitchen fill the room with light and provide a seamless connection to both the sheltered courtyard and the large rear garden.
The kitchen has a distinctive farmhouse feel, with its handmade timber cabinetry, exposed ceiling beams and a herringbone-pattern brick floor. The adjoining living area has lots of space for comfortable seating and has timber flooring. A stylish contemporary shower room, a utility room and a boiler room complete the ground floor accommodation.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom overlooks Victoria Park and has excellent built-in storage. Bedroom two overlooks the rear garden and there are also two modern bathrooms on the first floor.
Outside
Approached through painted wrought-iron gates, Strathlea has a gravel driveway and private parking (that can accomodate around three cars) to the side of the house. Mature climbing plants soften the exterior and provide a colourful display during the summer months. To the rear, there is a delightful, sheltered courtyard.
A south-facing paved terrace, accessed directly from the kitchen, is ideally positioned to make the most of sunny days and overlooks the large back garden. A charming pathway leads up the centre of the garden, branching off to thegarden studio and onwards through an old orchard to raised vegetable beds and a greenhouse. An ornamental pond, mature beech hedging, and an attractive arched trellis all contribute to the garden's character and appeal.
