Substantial modern house, close to the northern edge of Forfar.

Description

19 Fyfe-Jamieson is a very superior modern house which dates from 1998 and is at the start of a quiet cul de sac, enjoying fine views north to the Angus hills. It is very conveniently located close to the northern edge of Forfar, only minutes from the town centre, and is also well placed for easy access to the A90. It is an extensive house, with large reception rooms and six bedrooms, two of which are en suite. The downstairs TV room can be used as a further bedroom, so the house is ideal for modern family living. It is ideally situated for commuting and for Forfar Academy, which is part of the new community campus.

The house was built in 1998 by Cala Homes, initially as the showhome, for the small and exclusive development built on the site of the former Fyfe Jamieson maternity hospital. Substantially extended in 2015 / 2016, which enlarged both the principal reception rooms and the kitchen, and also created two further bedrooms upstairs, one of which is en suite. The house therefore benefits from two large reception rooms and is fully double glazed. It is an attractive and well presented property with a harled and stone finish, together with a tiled roof. When the house was extended, the heating system was upgraded with a ‘system’ boiler being fitted. A CCTV system with four cameras was also installed, along with remote controlled electric garage doors with smart Bluetooth connection. Internally the house is extremely well presented with fine bespoke wooden doors, along with cornicings in the reception rooms and hallway. With double doors linking the sitting room through to the family / dining room and to the kitchen, and on to the garden, it is a house that works very well for entertaining.

At the front of the house is monoblock paved parking. A covered entrance with LED lights has a partially glazed front door which opens to the impressive hallway with an understair cupboard and staircase to the first floor. Off this is the well proportioned sitting room which has a bay window overlooking the garden. The open plan family and dining room is another large room with storage cupboards and again overlooks the garden. The useful utility room has wall and floor units with a Franke sink and a partially glazed side door to the garden, which allows wheelchair access. Off this is a WC with washbasin with a vanity unit. The fully fitted kitchen is hugely impressive and has granite worktops, soft closing drawers, a Blanco sink and underfloor heating. Appliances by NEFF include two ovens, a combi microwave and dishwasher, and there is a Bosch fridge freezer. A central island unit incorporates a NEFF five burner gas hob with a pop up extractor. In addition there are bi-folding doors to the garden. Also off the hallway is a TV room, which has previously been used as a bedroom. The partially tiled shower room has a washbasin with vanity unit, WC and a tiled floor with underfloor heating.

The first floor landing has a shelved linen cupboard and access to loft space. Bedrooms one, two and three all have hanging and shelved wardrobes, with bedroom three also having lovely views north to the hills and a partially tiled en suite shower room with a washbasin and WC with vanity unit. The principal bedroom also has shelved and hanging wardrobes and a partially tiled shower room with shower cubicle with body jets, washbasin and WC with vanity unit. Bedroom six has a connecting door to the family bathroom which is partially tiled with spa bath with shower over, washbasin and WC with vanity unit and a tiled floor with underfloor heating.

The utility room links to the attached double garage. This has fitted units (with appliances including a Siemens fridge / freezer, sink, four ring gas hob with extractor and Siemens oven and grill) and can be used as an additional kitchen area when entertaining. It is also vented for a dryer, plumbed for both a dishwasher and washing machine, and has a wall mounted Worcester boiler, Santon hot water tank, along with a Hormann automatic up and over door.

The garden in front is mainly lawn. To the rear it is enclosed by fencing and again is laid to lawn along with some mature trees, and has a paved terrace linking to the kitchen.
