5 Bed Detached House For Sale

An impressive traditional home and coach house in turn key condition


Description

Drumnacree House
Drumnacree House is believed to date from 1873 and is situated in a mature garden of about 0.99 acres in one of Alyth’s leafy streets just 300m from the main square. The house has undergone two major programmes of refurbishment over the last ten years and is in turn key condition. The quality of the renovation is evident in the limestone flooring, the timber double glazed sash and case windows and traditional cast iron radiators which have been used in the principal rooms.

A broad glazed front porch creates an attractive and welcoming front entrance and opens to an impressive reception hall. Two magnificent reception rooms are situated on either side of the hall. Both have large south facing bay windows and tall square bay windows to the side. The dining room is characterised by its timber floor, timber fire surround and timber panelling around the windows. In contrast the woodwork in the sitting room has been painted white and this room has a much brighter feel. It links to the kitchen which has Ashley Ann cabinets, a cream AGA with gas hob module, slate flooring, granite worktops and exposed stone walls.

A corridor at the back of the house leads to a series of versatile smaller rooms which could be used as bedrooms, offices or storage space, depending on a buyer's requirements. Upstairs there are six double bedrooms which (with the exception of one) all have a bath or shower room. At the back of the house there is a covered veranda with access to a laundry room, boiler room and store.

Double Garage with Apartment
The double garage is situated just to the side of the house and has a WC, boiler room and a walk-in store ideal for garden machinery and tools. An external staircase leads up to the studio apartment known as Garden View. This has a south facing balcony with concertina glass doors opening to an open plan kitchen, dining and living room, beyond which is a double bedroom and en suite bathroom. It has a fabulous view over the garden and to the Sidlaws beyond.

Garden
Drumnacree House is approached by a private driveway which leads from St Ninians Road to a parking area at the front of the house. It is also possible to access the house via St Andrew’s Street where there is vehicular access to the rear of the house. The front lawn is edged with trees and shrubs. There are a few herbaceous borders at the western side of the garden and lots of scope for further landscaping or creating a productive garden at Drumnacree. Mature trees include a beautiful blossoming cherry tree and an old copper beech.
