Accommodation

Fairfield View, at 67 Churchfield Drive, was built in 1988 and has been lovingly updated and extended over the years.

The main door, adjacent to the large balcony above the garage, is approached via a set of steps.

On entering the hallway, you will immediately see the standard of the decoration that extends throughout the property. There is an engineered wood floor in the hallway which offers two large, fully built-in cupboards. One is currently utilised for coats/shoes and the other for linen storage, which also houses the hot water cylinder. Access to the loft is from the hall.

There is a pressurised water system throughout the property, ensuring that there is good hot water pressure to all taps and showers.

The hall gives access to the sitting room, the kitchen, and the three double bedrooms at this level, as well as to the main bathroom. At the end of the hallway, stairs lead down to the lower-level rooms.

The sitting room is spacious and bright, and allows access via patio doors to the large balcony. The views from the sitting room and balcony extend across the local ‘Fairfield’ to St. Andrews church and beyond. The balcony is a lovely place to sit in warmer months. A contemporary electric fire built into the original chimney is a feature of the sitting room. A second window adds further light and a door adjacent to the dining room accesses the end of the hallway.

Double glass doors from the sitting room lead to the dining room. These doors allow for the whole of the main living area to be filled with light and which can be left open for large gatherings to create a wonderful social space.

The garden room adjoins the dining room and features a lovely seating area at the end overlooking the rear garden, and there is a view across the Donald Pither sports field to Lodge Hill. This garden room was added as an extension in 2019 with a fully tiled roof and has underfloor heating (controlled by the main boiler in the utility room, which runs the central heating for the rest of the property). There is a door from the extension leading onto the garden.

The dining room gives open access to the kitchen which has numerous base and wall units with built-in double oven, hob, fridge/freezer, wine fridge, dishwasher and a larder unit. There is a large window overlooking the rear garden.

One door from the kitchen leads back into the hall while another enters the utility room with further fitted floor and wall units that match the kitchen. There is plumbing for a washing machine and a door from the utility room leads out into the back garden.

The good size master bedroom has a range of wardrobes and a generous size en-suite shower room. This bedroom is at the front of the property with the same views as offered by the sitting room.

The other two bedrooms on this level overlook the rear garden.

The main bathroom is a good size and offers a full size bath as well as a separate enclosed shower.

The stairs from the main living area lead down into a large bedroom with an en-suite shower room. This room has direct access to the front of the property through patio doors. From this room there is a door to a further room currently used as a studio/workroom.

There is a lot of flexibility with the lower level layout which potentially could be used as now set out, maybe as the master bedroom, perhaps for irregular airbnb income or even for a teenager looking for a games/cinema room. The layout allows for a host of possibilities to suit the new owner.

Outside

At the front, there is a large area suitable for two vehicles. This was resurfaced in 2021 and was designed to give an attractive appearance to the property with the addition of the surrounding bricks. As well as the up and over door for car access the garage has a side door and there is plenty of storage space within the garage.

There is access to the rear of the property from both sides.

To the left, a path with well-established shrubs and a small waterfall feature leads to a gate providing access to the back garden.

To the right, is a set of large double gates with a path beside the garage leading up to the back garden. This passes the rockery, the shed and the slightly raised beds which can be used for growing vegetables. Established shrubs line this path.

All parts of the back garden are fully enclosed. A paved area runs directly across the back of the property, and the garden itself has a fairly large patio and a grassed area, all of which are surrounded on three sides by mature shrubs.

A few extra comments

Mortgages – we can help.

Bridging loans – We can help.

Moving house is complicated and stressful when a sale and purchase needs to be tied together in terms of finance and timing.

Sometimes, we can negotiate an agreement that suits both sellers and buyers.

Sometimes, a bridging loan can solve problems and remove stress.
