Description
Delightful semi-detached family home now requiring modernising, with west facing garden, garage and driveway
Corrennie Gardens is a beautifully proportioned and delightful semi-detached family home offering bright, spacious and comfortable accommodation over two floors. With both east and west facing aspects the property benefits from plenty of natural light throughout the day further enhanced by the large west facing window over the stair. The house retains much of the property's original charm with a range of period features including the timber stair, exposed timber flooring in the more formal reception rooms, decorative plasterwork and cornicing as well as the mantelpieces. The house has been a much loved family home for a number of years and has now reached a stage where modernising is likely to be required by an incoming purchaser. There is huge opportunity to enhance this wonderful house to create a superb family home that caters for modern family living. There is opportunity to extend to the side, the rear and into the roof, subject to the necessary consents.
The front door opens to a welcoming vestibule and on into the reception hall from where the principal living accommodation is accessed and the stair rises to the upper floor. The elegant sitting room and dining room are situated to the front of the house while the kitchen and family room are at the rear of the property. The family room opens to a west facing glazed garden room with a door to the garden. The kitchen is accessed via an inner hallway with larder, and leads on to the utility room to the rear. There is a further access to the garden from the utility room. A set of stairs leads up from the kitchen to the former maid's room, which could be an excellent study, play room or further bedroom. There is also a wet room shower on the ground floor.
The stair rises to the first floor where the bedroom accommodation is situated. There are four generously proportioned double bedrooms as well as a family bathroom. In addition there is a smaller single bedroom (five) which has been used as a study. From the family bathroom there is a hatch providing access to the extensive attic. There is significant potential to convert this into additional accommodation, if required, subject to the necessary consents.
The house is set well back from the quiet road and is approached by a generous driveway with ample parking for a few cars which leads to the double garage, as well as a gated path leading to the front door. To the front of the house is a mature and colourful garden which benefits from the morning and early afternoon sunshine while to the rear of the house there is a beautiful mature and colourful west facing walled garden which benefits from an abundance of light throughout the afternoon and evenings. The garden has a wide variety of specimen plants, shrubs and trees, which provide an abundance of colour for much of the year.
