5 bedroom semi-detached house

CLOSING DATE FRIDAY 16TH SEPTEMBER AT 12NOON.

Substantial, late Victorian semi-detached villa (circa 1890) located within one of Falkirk’s most central and highly regarded residential locales. The subjects are conveniently placed for access to many excellent town centre amenities including nearby Comely Park Primary School and Falkirk High Station, popular with Edinburgh and Glasgow commuters. Set amidst properties of similar calibre, this handsome two-storey bay fronted villa occupies delightful private gardens complemented by a private driveway and masonry detached garage. The sunny, westerly facing rear garden incorporates a large timber deck with glass enclosure, lawn and children’s play area with artificial lawn.

A home of considerable period charm and character, this is apparent in the wealth of intact period features including ornate plasterwork cornice, original woodwork including pine panelled doors and handsome staircase. The outer entrance vestibule gives way to an impressive reception hallway which extends to thirty-one feet in length with a focal point staircase with large cloaks and storage cupboards. The public rooms include an elegant sitting room with bay window and comfortable TV/family room each of which have solid fuel stoves. The wonderful kitchen enjoys open plan access to a stunning dining/garden room with both French doors and separate bi-fold doors allowing direct access to the deck and taking full advantage of the garden views. Particular attention is drawn to the feature vaulted-style kitchen and dining/garden room ceilings which enjoy excellent natural light from velux roof lights. Attention is also drawn to the ground floor study which may well appeal to home workers and well-appointed utility room which has both Belfast sink and separate garden access. The ground floor is completed by a bright shower room.

The staircase from the reception hallway leads to a half landing which allows access to a large double bedroom and ceramic tiled family bathroom with spa bath, fitted storage and mains shower valve. There are three further flexible bedrooms situated off the first floor landing and a large linen storage cupboard. The master bedroom has both a bay window and solid fuel stove. A staircase from the first floor landing leads to the upper floor which has a particularly bright and generously sized fifth bedroom which is particularly versatile and would suit a variety of uses. Further points of interest include the charming first floor stained glass ceiling cupola, solid timber flooring and gas central heating. Viewing alone will confirm the overall size and appeal of this wonderful family home. Energy Efficiency Rating - D.
