Property Description
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a wonderful traditional family home in a popular part of Lenzie, close to many amenities.
This elegant Victorian property sits in an elevated position well back from the road and is carefully screened by mature beech hedging in the private front garden which has recently been extensively re-landscaped.
The front door opens to a vestibule and on into the welcoming hallway from where the principal family living and reception space is accessed. The spacious and elegant lounge boasts an exquisite fire surround and this room benefits from a substantial bay window which provides an abundance of natural light and which looks over the front garden. The well-proportioned dining room also has an open outlook on to the front garden and is a wonderful space for entertaining friends and family. To the rear, there is a family room which could easily be utilised as a fifth bedroom, if required. The large kitchen has a convenient utility room/boot room off a small hallway which leads to the back door. Also on the ground floor is a modern shower room, a large understairs cupboard for storage and for dog lovers, there is a handy dog shower next to the back door.
The traditional staircase passes a large window midway which gives a wonderful view over the rear garden before opening into the bright upper hall. The two main bedrooms are on an impressive scale with views over the front garden. In addition, there are two further generous bedrooms, a home office/study and a family bathroom.
The property benefits from gas central heating and partial double glazing.
The driveway has been recently re-laid along with extensive re-landscaping of the garden to the front and rear. The remaining garden ground boasts a range of mature plants, shrubs and trees which surround the patio area and lawns to the front and rear.
Vehicular access to the property is via a shared private lane off Myrtle Avenue and this leads to a private and exclusive parking area at the rear of the property. It is worth noting there is potential for extending the driveway along the side of the property to the front door. There is also a gate in the front garden which leads to Myrtle Avenue.
