Beautifully presented semi-detached family home.

Description

35 Rose Street is an attractive, semi-detached, Victorian home, built with sandstone in 1897, and situated in one of the most desirable addresses in Dunfermline. With its elevated, south-facing aspect, the house has spectacular views over the rooftops of the city, towards the Firth of Forth bridges and Edinburgh, with the Pentland Hills acting as a beautiful backdrop. While offering all the comfort of a modern-day family home, the house retains an abundance of traditional character from top to bottom.

After passing through a pillared entrance, a paved pathway with stone steps lead up through the front garden to the front door of the house. The principal reception rooms and kitchen are on the ground floor and are accessed by the spacious entrance hall. The ground floor has a pleasing, open-plan flow and plenty of period elegance. The south facing sitting room has an open fireplace with marble surround, and fine ornate cornice. It is open plan to the adjacent dining room. The kitchen sits beyond and is fitted with units with granite surfaces, glass door cabinets, and kitchen appliances including an oven and large gas hob. To the side of the kitchen is a generous area for storage with a door out to the garden. A door from the kitchen leads through to the back porch, off which is peaceful bedroom 5 / home office with a wood burning stove, and the utility which is plumbed for appliances and has a WC.

The first floor has two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom is stunning, thanks to features such a painted marble mantelpiece, decorative cornice and large windows. The latter provide high levels of natural light and frame south-facing views over the Firth of Forth towards Edinburgh. With so many fantastic features this bedroom could be re-purposed as a reception room, if desired. The other bedroom overlooks the rear garden and has a shelved alcove. The family bathroom sits between the two. This has an original style enamel bath and a separate shower cubicle. There are a further two bedrooms on the second floor, one of which has a box room off it with under eaves storage.

The principal garden sits to the rear of the house and connects to the front by a gravelled path which runs to the west of the house. The garden is laid to lawn and surrounded by beautifully stocked flower beds and borders with a terrace at the top. There are two very useful brick built cellar stores. The terraced, south facing front garden is also stocked with a good selection of shrubs and offers a lovely outdoor seating area.
