Stunning detached stone built Victorian villa with breath-taking views, set in extensive garden grounds and located in the sought after Lasswade.
Viewforth is a charming detached Victorian villa, beautifully constructed from stone and set within expansive garden grounds. The property offers a high degree of privacy, sweeping views, and an abundance of natural light throughout the day. Having been sympathetically upgraded in recent years, the property seamlessly combines modern living with the preservation of its delightful traditional features, including natural timber floors, original stone stairs with wrought iron balustrades, intricate cornicing, astragal windows, and working shutters throughout.
The grounds are accessed through stone pillars, leading to a track that is shared with just one other property.
The property's front door is located to the rear of the house and opens into a welcoming reception hall, from which the well-proportioned accommodation flows.
The elegant sitting room is generously sized, benefiting from both south and west-facing aspects that flood the room in natural light throughout the day. Double doors open onto a glazed veranda, a true sun trap perfect for relaxation and entertaining. Adjacent to the sitting room, the dining room offers a more formal setting with its charming bay window, providing unrestricted views over the garden and the landscape beyond.
Off the hallway, the cosy family room creates a warm atmosphere and flows seamlessly into the modern, fully-fitted kitchen. The kitchen is equipped with integrated appliances, ample wall and base units, and features a spacious area for a dining table and chairs.
The utility room, located at the rear of the kitchen, houses a sink and the boiler, and provides access to a workshop that offers additional storage and flexible use.
Completing the ground floor accommodation is a conveniently located WC.
Ascending the staircase to the first floor, you'll find four generously proportioned double bedrooms. The two front-facing bedrooms offer stunning views over the Esk Valley, while the rear bedrooms enjoy delightful vistas of the garden grounds. Each room is spacious and is serviced by a washroom and a separate family bathroom.
Externally, the property is approached via stone pillars and a track that leads to the secure double gates. The front walled gardens are beautifully maintained and feature a winding driveway with ample space for multiple vehicles. A variety of mature plants, shrubs, and trees provide vibrant colour throughout much of the year. The glazed veranda area is particularly noteworthy, offering a perfect spot to enjoy the sun year-round. Additionally, the property includes a single garage within the front garden.
To the rear of the house, a charming seating area offers unparalleled views of the Esk Valley. Steps lead down to the tiered garden, which features well-maintained lawns, a variety of mature trees and shrubs, a summerhouse, secluded patio and paved areas ideal for outdoor seating and summer barbecues, as well as large plant beds.
