This includes a new kitchen extension, three bathrooms, a complete rewire, and new heating and plumbing systems.

The reception spaces have been meticulously designed to frame the park views.

The house, situated on Glenesk Road, is currently arranged with four bedrooms.

However, the flexible layout offers the possibility to remodel into five or six bedrooms.

The existing conservatory also presents potential for replacement with an orangery or extension.

A two-room cellar provides extra storage, and a tool shed with power outside offers further utility.
