Substantial late Victorian semi-detached villa (circa 1896) located within one of Falkirk’s most central and highly regarded residential locales. The subjects are situated conveniently for access to many excellent town centre amenities including nearby Comely Park Primary School and Falkirk High Station popular with Edinburgh and Glasgow commuters. Set amidst properties of similar calibre the two storey sandstone bay fronted villa occupies delightful private gardens complemented by a side driveway and garage. The sunny westerly facing enclosed rear garden incorporates sandstone paved patio, upper and lower lawns, small vegetable plot and mature shrub borders.
A home of considerable period charm and character this is apparent in the wealth of intact period features including ornate plasterwork cornice and original wood work which includes stripped pine panelled doors and a particularly handsome staircase. Access is through an entrance vestibule with an original geometric terrazzo tiled flooring leading thereon to the impressive reception hallway with wonderful focal point stair case and cloaks/storage cupboard. The period sitting room is an elegant apartment with bay window and focal point fireplace including multi-fuel stove. The generously sized family room/bedroom four is a particularly flexible downstairs apartment which would suit a variety of purposes. Professionally remodelled to the rear the property has a superb kitchen/dining/family room complete with velux roof lights and French doors leading to the charming sandstone patio. The kitchen has solid wooden worktops, Belfast style sink and several integrated appliances. The lower accommodation is completed by a compact utility and charming study/home office.
The staircase has the original carved newel posts and leads to a half landing which gives way to a large double bedroom and ceramic tiled family shower room. On the upper level there are two further double bedrooms and a ceramic tiled bathroom. The super master bedroom has both a bay window and fire surround. Further points of interest include excellent storage, including a partially floored loft with ladder, gas central heating and refurbished sash and case windows. Viewing alone will confirm the overall size, flexibility and appeal of this wonderful family home.
