Stunning two reception room / four bedroom detached property with considerable character, close to Bell’s Brae school and the hospital, and within walking distance of Commercial Street.

This property which was originally built in 1939, was extensively renovated between 1999 - 2001 to a high standard including re-roofing, re-harling, new windows & doors, re-lining & insulation, re-wiring & re-plumbing, and a new kitchen, bathroom & shower room. The work was carried out in a sympathetic manner, where possible retaining and restoring original features such as stained glass window panels, tiled fireplace surrounds in the two reception rooms, the Aga in the kitchen, and the original cast iron bath.

In addition to the two good-sized bay-windowed reception rooms and the four bedrooms (one en-suite), the immaculately presented accommodation also includes a modern fitted kitchen and ‘period’ style bathroom.

Full double glazing (except original stained glass oriel window), and District Heating.
