Beautiful C listed Victorian villa situated in stunning gardens and grounds

Description

Dating from 1892, Parkview House is a fine example of the work of James Pearson Alison, Hawick’s most distinguished architect. This impressive Category C listed Victorian villa, constructed in stone beneath pitched slate roofs, offers exceptionally spacious and well proportioned accommodation arranged over four floors.

The house sits within extensive, beautifully maintained gardens featuring a summerhouse. There is generous off street parking, complemented by a garage. Internally, Parkview House showcases a wealth of original Arts and Crafts details, including natural woodwork, ornate plasterwork, striking fireplaces and a stunning stained and leaded glass window illuminating the main staircase.

The property is entered via a solid timber front door into a tiled vestibule. Immediately to the left is a WC, while to the right lies the hallway, from which the three reception rooms and the kitchen are accessed.

The drawing room and dining room feature elegant bay windows overlooking the gardens and are connected by an archway. Both rooms boast ornate cornicing, wooden flooring, and open fireplaces with wooden mantelpieces. The sitting room / study also enjoys garden views and includes fitted bookshelves flanking an open fireplace with a tiled surround and wooden mantelpiece.

The kitchen, accessible from both the hallway and dining room, is beautifully appointed with wooden base and wall units topped with solid granite surfaces. Fitted with a ceramic Belfast sink, and a gas range cooker with double oven and extractor fan. Adjacent is a utility room with a sink, dishwasher and boot room facilities, and a door leading to the side garden.

From the central hallway, a staircase rises past a stunning Arts and Crafts stained-glass window, complemented by a bespoke bookshelf below. On the first floor, there are four bedrooms, two of which share an en suite bathroom with a bath and separate shower. The family bathroom, located near the stairs to the attic, offers a bath, WC, and washbasin. The attic level provides a further double bedroom/playroom and a single bedroom/office.
