A unique period property built for the present owners in 1963 at the highest point in Dalry, this spacious and substantial Detached Villa boasts a wealth of features and outstanding garden grounds. The Mound will make a superb family home.
The property enjoys an exceptionally convenient town centre position, literally two minutes walk from a range of essential shops and bus services, whilst also offering tremendous privacy with main rooms to the rear viewing onto the gardens and upper floor bedrooms boasting open views westwards to hills and countryside.
Entrance is via a small terrace on the western side of the house, into a large reception hall giving access to main apartments and via a broad open tread stair to the rooms on the upper floor. Off the hall is a cloakroom with wc and whb, together with good fitted storage. The main lounge has a wall of windows viewing onto the private gardens and connects through to the dining room which, in turn, connects via a short hall with garden door into the impressive and exceptionally spacious sun lounge, also with a full wall of windows, plus side window, viewing onto the garden. The kitchen has breakfasting/dining space and is accessed from the hall or the dining room. A utility room has a rear door and has a store room off with a door to the front.
The stairway from the hall leads to a broad and attractive upper landing with the bedrooms, boxroom and shower room off. All bedrooms view to the rear, two are large dual aspect double rooms, the third is single with fitted cupboards and the boxroom would be an ideal study or potentially a child`s bedroom. The shower room is part tiled and has a four piece suite including bidet with a mains shower and a corner cupboard. A trap door from the hall has a pull down ladder to an extensive floored and lined loft space with light. On the easter side of the house is a large single garage, with light and power, plus through and through up and over doors enabling vehicle access to a courtyard area behind.
The Mound has a courtyard style front garden/parking area with pedestrian and vehicle gates. The rear gardens are the stand out feature that must be seen to be appreciated. They are mature, well stocked, extensive and thoughtfully laid out with lawn, shrubs, bushes, various trees, a pond, older greenhouse and garden shed. Fully enclosed and backing a wooded area, they offer privacy and seclusion and may, subject to consents, provide scope for further development or extension.
The North Ayrshire town of Dalry stands on the west bank of the River Garnock and was traditionally on the easiest overland route from Glasgow to Ayrshire. It has benefited from having the A737 by-pass recently completed. It`s a quiet town with an attractive traditional town centre offering local shopping, cafes, bars and restaurants. There is a Co-Op and LIDL supermarket and nearby Kilbirnie has a Tesco superstore. The Mound is approximately half a mile or ten minutes walk from Dalry station making this an ideal commuting base with direct rail links to Glasgow in approximately 35 minutes and good road access both north via Paisley to the city and south to Ayrshire and the Clyde coast.
