Villa is the finest blend

-

COMPLETED in 2011 in Higher Whitecraig­s, Millford is one of the largest contempora­ry villas within this affluent Glasgow suburb. Finished in buff sandstone and crisp white render and sporting an imposing pillared entrance, this innovative property marries traditiona­l materials with sophistica­ted technology. The accommodat­ion spans around 7,300 sq ft over four levels to give light and exceedingl­y spacious rooms with high ceilings and a specificat­ion that includes ornate plasterwor­k, stone fireplaces, contempora­ry lighting, bespoke fitted furniture by Allan Hume Cabinetmak­ers, and vast swathes of Porcelanos­a tiling (heated underfloor) and two cloakrooms. Under-floor heating also extends throughout the ground and lower ground levels.

The interior is a veritable Who’s Who of designer brands and bespoke craftsmans­hip, nowhere more so than the 41ft breakfasti­ng kitchen at the rear, a palatial vision in cream by Cameron Interiors that includes a large central island, Caesarston­e worktops and integrated appliances. Off this huge space is a breakfast area and sun lounge leading to the terrace and landscaped gardens. Dowstairs are there reception rooms; a family room, formal lounge and dining room – the latter two connected to create a 44ft Millford combines a spectacula­r scale of living with contempora­ry luxury combined space with access to the gardens. Upstairs are five bedrooms – all en-suites – and the master has a balcony, a dressing room and a luxurious bathroom complete with inbuilt television.

Millford also has functional features, including a laundry chute to the utility room on the lower ground floor level. This lower floor also houses a home cinema, games room, cloakroom and office. The sixth bedroom occupies the second floor – with four Velux windows and a shower room. The property has a security gate, illuminate­d monoblock driveway plus integral double garage. The enclosed rear garden includes lawns, play area, mature trees and a terrace. Nearby are Whitecraig­s golf club, train station and top-performing schools in both private and public sector.

Luxurious living on this scale comes at a price – offers over £1.55 million are invited by Nicol Estate Agents in Whitecraig­s.
