Description

Corsiehill House dates from 1892 and is a handsome Victorian house situated at the end of a private driveway in the hamlet of Corsiehill. It backs onto the Kinnoull Woodland Park and sits in a peaceful and leafy garden. Flat 1 is situated on the ground floor of the house. It is entered by the original front door and occupies what were once the main reception rooms of the house. The welcoming reception hall provides access to all the rooms. The drawing room is an impressive formal room with ornate cornice work on the ceiling and a large bay window overlooking the garden. A gas fire is fitted into the decorative surround and provides a warming focal point. The fitted kitchen has a dining alcove and from the kitchen sink there is a view over open fields to the Kinnoull woods beyond. The dining room and study are both situated on the south side of the house and are versatile rooms that could be used as bedrooms if required. The principal bedroom was formerly the dining room for Corsiehill House. It has a large bay window, high ceilings and an en suite bathroom. There is also a separate shower room.

Garden
Flat 1 shares its garden with the two other properties within the house. A terrace made from large old flagstones sits outside the main rooms of Flat 1 and is a lovely private place to sit out in good weather. There is also a summer house within the grounds.

Garage
A single garage allocated to Flat 1 is situated at the rear of the house. There is a communal parking area at the rear of the house as well as communal space to park two cars opposite the front door.
