A detached house on a spacious plot of around 0.5 acres with an impressive frontage. The property requires modernisation but represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a substantial house and grounds where the property may offer potential for extension (subject to necessary permissions). While the property is for residential use, it may also offer scope for other uses (subject to necessary permissions). There is no forward chain and early viewing is essential to fully appreciate all that is available.
On the market for the first time since 1971, Dunottar has been a much loved home for the current family for some decades. The façade has bays to both sides on both the ground and first floors which combine with the porticoed entrance to give an impressive frontage, which in turn combine well with the internal space and extensive grounds. It is an impressive looking property that is believed to have been constructed in 1922 and retains a number of period features including the doors. The property now deserves a programme of modernisation but may also provide opportunities for extension to suit a new owner’s requirements. The property benefits from gas fired central heating and extensive double glazing. The accommodation comprises: a spacious Entrance Hall with a turn staircase to the first floor, a spacious Living Room and Dining Room both with bay windows, a Sun Room, a large Kitchen, Shower Room, Rear Entrance Hall and Pantry. To the first floor is a spacious Landing, 3 Double Bedrooms, a good sized Single Bedroom and a Bathroom. A spacious driveway leads to an attached larger Garage and generous front gardens with a range of mature trees which set the house back from the road. To the rear you will find the greater part of the plot with a terraced area immediately to the rear of the house that drops down to largely lawned gardens which extend some way to the north east.
While the property is residential it may also offer potential for other uses, subject to necessary permissions. In addition, to the north west end of the garden a more recent development exists. The developer had previously expressed an interest in purchasing the bottom section of the garden to continue the development and may still be interested (subject to necessary permissions).
With no forward chain, an impressive frontage as well as the internal and external space an early viewing is essential to appreciate all that this property offers. We also have a 360 degree tour available which will provide an excellent overview of the property in the first instance.
