Set on a peaceful residential street in Lennoxtown, this striking 5 bedroomed Victorian sandstone home has stood for over 125 years. Rich in history yet fully upgraded, it combines timeless features with thoughtful modern touches, offering an elegant family home that is both practical and full of character. From the outside, a broad driveway with space for multiple cars leads to the entrance, where traditional storm doors open into a wide hallway. The scale of the home is immediately clear: high ceilings, original white wood panelling, and parquet-effect porcelain flooring bring light and refinement, while the original staircase with cast iron spindles anchors the space with period grandeur. Subtle details such as stair rods with thistle-inspired finials and a tartan runner softening each step add a distinctly Scottish character. To the front, two reception rooms showcase different moods. The formal lounge is defined by a bay window, ornate cornicing, and an elegant ceiling rose, with a striking fireplace and mantle as the focal point. Soft green walls and warm-toned wooden flooring create a setting that feels both sophisticated and inviting. Opposite, a second lounge is designed for relaxed living, with an illuminated media wall, log-burning stove, and alcoves with space for neatly stacked wood. Open to the dining area, this space easily accommodates a full-size dining table, making it ideal for both family nights and entertaining with friends. Dual-aspect windows flood the room with light, balanced by soft drapes that give the space warmth and intimacy. The kitchen is a welcoming hub of the home, finished with oak-toned cabinetry, sleek matt worktops, and a range cooker with 7-burner hob. A breakfast peninsula with black leather-finish stools makes everyday meals easy and sociable, while integrated shelving keeps essentials close to hand. From here, a door leads into the breakfast room, a bright inviting space featuring a upholstered, curved banquette that can comfortably seats multiple guests. Patterned floor tiles add charm, and doors open to the garden so gatherings can spill outdoors on sunny days. Practicality has also been carefully considered. A newly fitted WC sits alongside a utility room that makes light work of the dreaded laundry, with plumbing for washer and dryer, hanging space for wet clothes, and worktops for folding and organising. Upstairs, the accommodation is generous and well-planned. Four large double bedrooms and one single offer flexibility for family life, with each finished in high-quality décor and plush carpeting. The main bedroom features sleek fitted wardrobes by Sharps, a bay window, and a stylish panelled headboard with sockets and wall sconces for reading. Bedroom three has a bespoke fitted unit with wardrobes, shelving, and a built-in TV space, while the single bedroom serves as a bright home office beneath a expansive skylight. On the half-landing, the family bathroom with walk-in storage and a separate shower room are both finished in neutral tones. The gardens extend the living space outdoors and have been designed with relaxation in mind. At the front, a lush, level lawn leads to a summer house that has been transformed into a spa retreat, complete with hot tub. Set beneath twinkling fairy lights, it is the perfect spot to unwind on a chilly evening, cosy behind French doors with a glass in hand. A paved path curves around the property, where a black timber door opens into the basement that is ideal for garden storage. Further along, three seating areas are perfectly positioned to catch the sun at different times of day, while illuminated borders and pathways bring a soft glow after dark. At the rear, a gate provides access to on-street parking, while at the front off the driveway, the double garage with power and up-and-over door adds further practicality. The home has benefited from extensive upgrades in recent years, including a full rewire in 2021, new radiators, complete redecoration and flooring, a re-roof in January 2025, bespoke fitted wardrobes in 2022, and a new back door in 2025. A range of fittings including blinds, curtains, Sharps wardrobes, breakfast bar stools, the bespoke banquette, and TVs in the media wall, kitchen, and breakfast room are also included in the sale.
