Description
Ardgowan is a beautiful detached granite built house which has undergone a complete internal refurbishment by the current owners. This superb home now offers a harmonious blend of traditional architecture and contemporary design with meticulous attention to detail throughout. The accommodation begins with a welcoming hallway styled with elegant grey wood panelling and light wooden flooring. Off here, the fine sitting room has an attractive wooden herringbone floor, a feature fireplace with log burner and a full height five pane bay window bringing in plenty of natural light. A true highlight of this property is the stunning dining kitchen which opens up to the dining room at one end and another sitting room/family room at the other– creating a fabulous open plan living space which spans the full length of the house. Sleek navy cabinetry blends with state of the art appliances including a range cooker. A large central island provides a further worksurface area along with bookcase space and casual bar style seating. The dining area has floor to ceiling sliding glazed doors accessing the garden and a fantastic cupola above, making this entire space wonderfully light and bright. There is a versatile room behind the sitting room which is currently used as a gym, but could either be bedroom five or further reception space. Off an inner hall is a utility room with a boot room with garden access and cloakroom with WC and wash basin adjacent.
Ascending to the first floor, the staircase, with its classic wooden banister, leads to the landing where a second skylight ensures another light and airy space. The principal bedroom suite is impressive in size and has an en suite dressing room and bathroom. The bathroom features a freestanding bath, twin wash basins and over- sized shower enclosure. Bedroom two is ideal as a guest room with an en suite shower room. Bedrooms three and four, along with the home office, are serviced by the large family bathroom again with a stylish bath and over-sized shower enclosure.
A gate from Watson Street provides pedestrian access to the front of the property. Vehicular access is accessed at the rear from Ramsay Road. A footpath to the side of the house connects the front and rear gardens. The delightful front garden is terraced with a south facing aspect and landscaped to provide seasonal colour and bloom. The terrace is a lovely alfresco spot with attractive views over the lower Dee Valley. The perimeter is walled and mainly laid to lawn with well stocked borders providing a variety of flowers, shrubs and trees. Additional buildings include a garden shed, summer house and wood stores.
Garage:
Modern single garage with timber cladding. Adjacent is a car port. Accessed from Ramsay Road.
