Stunning sandstone villa on prominent corner of craft town
THIS WEEK’S Ayrshire property of the week takes us to the craft town of West Kilbride, on a prominent corner of Portencross Road.
This detached sandstone villa is presented to the market in truly walk-in condition and would make a stunning family home.
It is well placed for access to the centre of West Kilbride with its array of independent shops.
It is also only a stones throw from the local primary school, with Ardrossan, Largs and St. Matthew’s Academy only a few miles away.
The home also provides easy access to a mainline train station with a regular direct service to Glasgow and the North Ayrshire coastline with its many activities and coastal walks.
Look at the property itself, as you enter, you will find a porch leading to a period entrance hallway providing access to the formal lounge, dining room, dining kitchen, WC/cloakroom, family room and stairs to the upper level.
The reception hall opens to a spacious front facing formal lounge with bay window, solid wood floor, ornate cornice work and a woodburning stove at its focal point.
The dining room is located adjacent to the lounge and features an attractive turret and original Art Deco style fireplace. Leading off the dining room is the original cutlery cupboard which is now used as an office.
The hall also leads to a superb dining sized kitchen with solid oak herringbone flooring, range cooker, integrated fridge, freezer and dishwasher.
The kitchen has doorway access to a plumbed utility/ laundry room with access to the gardens. The ground floor accommodation also features a family room which could also be used as a fifth bedroom.
A broad staircase with stained glass window leads to the upper landing there are four double bedrooms and a separate dressing room.
The large master bedroom enjoys dual aspect views to Arran and the Firth of Clyde with original ornate cornicing and benefits from a spacious ensuite shower room.
The guest bedroom also has panoramic views from a walkin turret and features a threepiece ensuite shower room. The family bathroom is fitted with a modern three-piece suite to include WC, wash hand basin and bath.
The property has been sympathetically maintained to retain its Victorian features and character, including new sash and case double glazing with upper stained-glass sections made to replicate the original windows (still under warranty).
There is extensive monobloc carriage style driveway parking and a detached garage. Access to the driveway is made via two separate entrances, both with fully functional remote control electric double gates.
The property is surrounded on all sides by landscaped garden grounds with panoramic views which include patio seating areas, a summer house and a playhouse/garden shed.
