Description
The Garden House is a wonderfully private detached single storey house
constructed in the early 1980s. The property occupies the delightful former
walled garden of Spylaw Bank House, providing exceptionally colourful and
mature garden grounds which extend in total to just over 1/3 of an acre.
The entrance opens through a vestibule into the welcoming hallway with an
impressive view to the garden through the sitting room immediately opposite.
Double doors open to the delightful south facing sitting room with picture
windows offering charming views of the garden. This room is generous in size,
and is open to the dining room also. Both rooms have doors opening to the
garden. The well appointed breakfasting kitchen lies adjacent to the dining
room with views of the garden to both the south and west. The utility room is
situated opposite the entrance to the kitchen, and here there is also a side
access to the garden. Either side of the entrance are a study and the third
double bedroom, which has the benefit of built - in wardrobes, and shares the
family bathroom with bedroom two, situated to the east of the house. The
principal bedroom is also situated to the east end of the house, again with
charming views of the garden, as well as benefiting from an en suite bathroom
and fully fitted dressing room. There is also a door leading out to the
garden.
Outside
The house sits well back from the quiet road and benefits from complete
privacy and seclusion being set behind the original garden wall. On entering
the grounds through the driveway, there is a large gravelled parking area with
ample space for a number of vehicles. The Mews is situated here and also
incorporates the garage. A gate within the wall leads to the principal house,
where there is a delightful front garden, with three steps leading up to the
front door and a slabbed path leading to each end of the house. The splendid
principal garden is a tranquil haven of colour, with a wide variety of
specimen plants, shrubs and trees. The garden has been well - tended, and
historically opened to the public under Scotland Gardens Scheme.
The Mews
The Mews is a charming detached self - contained house, ideally suited for
visiting family, multi - generational living, or for creating an income. The
front door opens to the open plan kitchen, dining and sitting room. From here
the stair rises to the upper floor where there are two comfortable double
bedrooms as well as a bathroom. In addition, there is an integral garage.
