Villa with space to spare
A bespoke villa set in two acres of private rural ground has a quality of finish well worth feasting your eyes upon . . .
WILLOWBANK is a fourbedroom, detached villa in an elevated position with views over the River Tay and the surrounding rolling woodland at Braeside of Gagie, close to Kellas, Broughty Ferry and extremely convenient for the centre of Dundee.
The property boasts imaginative use of glass and a very high-spec approach to fixtures and fittings that creates an imposing family home. A gravel driveway approaches the property, with a tiled vestibule leading to a spacious, bright entrance hall with polished hardwood flooring that flows through all of the ground floor living space.
The lounge/dining room is most impressive; a generous space with windows on two aspects, including two bays with views over the mature, well-stocked gardens and fields beyond. A major feature is the multi-fuel burner located within a marble column and open to both living and dining areas.
The ultra-modern kitchen encompasses both a dining area and family sitting room, the south-westerly aspect and glass surroundings ensuring a bright airy feel. The contemporary kitchen is fitted with floor and wall mounted units complete with drawer storage and large island workspace. The utility kitchen is another spacious room with floor and wall mounted units. It leads to the rear porch and back door access to the gardens and vehicle parking area.
The ground floor wc includes a free standing large shower base and screen, tiled floor with sink and cistern built into vanity units with storage below. Carpeted stairs with attractive staircase and rail leads to the first floor accommodation, lit by the long gable window on the half landing.
The main bedroom is a large double room with windows on two aspects giving uninterrupted views over fields, the River Tay and on to St Andrews in Fife. This bedroom is finished with fitted wardrobes offering both shelved and hanging space. Bedroom two is a mirror image with fitted wardrobes and excellent views.
Bedroom three is another double room with fitted wardrobes and lit by Velux roof window. The fourth bedroom is currently used as a home office but also had south facing window and fitted wardrobes.
The contemporary family bathroom is again finished to a high standard with Jacuzzi bath and fitted storage units with vanity mirror.
The mature gardens are well stocked with various plants shrubs and trees. The orchard features cherry, plum, greengage, damson trees and apple trees. The large freestanding workshop/storage facility has large concrete yard with parking for several vehicles. To the north of the house there is a grass lawn leading to the large paddock fields.
