An elegant Victorian villa, thoughtfully reimagined for modern living.
Minerva Lodge is a distinguished detached Victorian residence dating from 1871, occupying an exceptional position within Seven Sisters, one of Lenzie's most prestigious and sought-after private addresses. Set within mature, beautifully landscaped grounds, this elegant family home combines the grandeur and character of its period origins with a thoughtfully designed contemporary extension, creating a home perfectly suited to modern family living.
A welcoming entrance opens to a striking reception hall, setting the tone for the elegant interiors beyond. Retaining a wealth of traditional Victorian character, Minerva Lodge displays many fine period details, including decorative stained-glass windows, original architectural features and impressive proportions throughout.
Named after Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom, the house exudes a timeless sense of grandeur and refined period charm. The ground floor offers a superb collection of beautifully proportioned reception rooms, including a formal drawing room with feature fireplace and log-burning stove, an elegant dining room, a comfortable family room and a versatile study, providing exceptional flexibility for modern family living, home working and entertaining.
The heart of the home is the outstanding open-plan kitchen, dining and family space, created as part of a substantial extension and renovation programme completed in 2012. Beautifully designed for modern living and entertaining, this light-filled area features a range of quality integrated appliances, Corian work surfaces and underfloor heating while doors open directly onto the rear gardens, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces. A utility room and contemporary shower room complete the ground floor accommodation.
A sweeping staircase leads to the upper floor, where a generous landing gives access to four well-proportioned double bedrooms and a luxurious family bathroom featuring a separate shower and underfloor heating.
Externally, the gardens are a particular highlight, with mature planting, colourful borders and a high degree of privacy. A private driveway, garage and workshop are situated to the rear and accessed via a private lane serving the Seven Sisters residences. Residents also enjoy shared ownership of a delightful wooded area opposite the property, further enhancing the exclusive nature of this remarkable setting.

For me, Minerva Lodge is as much about the setting as it is the house itself. Seven Sisters is one of Lenzie's most prestigious addresses, and the combination of privacy, beautiful gardens and superb family accommodation is incredibly hard to find.
