Luxury living and scenic views on the waterfront
Modern detached villa on banks of river delivers style and tranquillity
THE scenic location of this spacious riverside home is not even its biggest selling point. Views aside, this modern detached villa boasts a luxurious interior and spacious garden – and even a separate outdoor lodge. The stellar apartment in this four-bedroom property, on a stretch of the River Almond in Mid Calder, West Lothian, has to be the 41ft long kitchen/family/dining room, which has been designed to add opulence to family living.
Beautiful Karndean flooring runs the length of the space, which effortlessly changes function from culinary to comfortable. The dedicated kitchen area – one of two – has wall and base cabinets, with a contrasting white worktop and a central island area decorated in a cool grey.
High-specification Siemens appliances include a double oven, five-ring induction hob, extractor, dishwasher and tall fridge.
Lying off this space is a preparation kitchen, with integrated Belling range cooker with hood, a microwave, Neff deep-fat fryer, double fridge and dishwasher, with room for a free-standing washing machine and tumble dryer.
The dining area is dominated by a bespoke wood and glass table, illuminated by a statement lighting unit which is available by separate negotiation.
The ground-floor accommodation is completed by the large reception hall, with an elegant glass-panelled staircase leading to the first floor, plus a reception room which enjoys views and doors to the rear garden.
The master bedroom is lavish, with baroque paper on the walls and plush grey carpet.
The master suite is located within the building’s turret extension and includes an en suite bathroom.
Adding a touch of decadence, the owners have converted one of the three remaining double bedrooms into a large dressing room. A Jack-and-Jill en suite bathroom can be accessed from bedrooms two and three and there is also a splendid family bathroom with roll top bath and double shower enclosure with rainfall showerhead.
Outside in the pretty garden is a lodge which the selling agents suggest is reminiscent of a ‘boutique hotel’. This incorporates a double bedroom and en suite bathroom, accessed by a rustic, sliding wooden door.
A sun terrace runs along the rear of the property, offering views over the River Almond – which has a growing population of brown and sea trout – and providing the perfect space for entertaining.
