Description

Nestled in the tranquil and sought-after Blairdrummond area, this substantial detached villa presents an exciting opportunity for those looking to create a bespoke family home. Dating back to circa 1900, the property boasts considerable character while offering excellent potential for renovation and modernisation throughout. The main house features well-proportioned accommodation spread over two floors. The ground floor includes an entrance hall, a comfortable lounge, a kitchen, two bedrooms, and a utility room complete with a sauna and shower room. On the first floor, you will find a landing leading to two additional bedrooms, providing flexible living options suitable for family life, guests, or home working. A standout feature of this property is the substantial annexe, which offers remarkable versatility for various uses. This space comprises a hall, kitchen, lounge, and bathroom on the ground floor, with a first-floor landing leading to a sitting room and two further bedrooms. This additional accommodation is ideal for extended family, guests, or independent living arrangements, and could also serve as valuable space for a home business, subject to necessary consents. Complementing the property is a large double garage, providing ample parking and storage solutions. The garden grounds extend to both the front and rear, offering opportunities for outdoor enjoyment and landscaping enhancements. Access to the property is via a shared accessway. Additionally, the sale includes approximately 2 acres of land situated separately across the road from the main house. This generous parcel of land presents excellent potential for grazing or establishing stables, subject to planning permissions. The extra acreage significantly enhances the property's appeal for those seeking space for horses or livestock, or simply wishing for more outdoor land in a peaceful rural setting. With its combination of substantial accommodation, separate annexe, generous grounds, and considerable scope for refurbishment, this property offers a unique opportunity to craft a dream home in a desirable part of Blairdrummond.

51out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: LOW

This substantial detached villa in the desirable Blairdrummond area presents a fantastic opportunity for those looking to create their dream family home. With generous accommodation spread across two floors, the property retains considerable character while offering excellent potential for renovation and modernization. The separate annexe adds versatility, ideal for extended family, guests, or even a home business, making it a unique feature of this listing.

While the overall condition indicates a need for significant refurbishment, such as dated interiors in the living spaces, kitchen, and bathroom, these aspects provide a blank canvas for someone to enhance the property and add their personal touch. The additional land of approximately 2 acres is a rare find and adds further appeal, allowing for various uses such as grazing or landscaping. With a guide price of £490,000, the value versus local £/sqf cannot yet be assessed due to missing floor area, but the potential is clear for a rewarding project.

Key opportunities

  • Substantial accommodation across two floors allows for versatile family living and customization.
  • Separate annexe provides excellent potential for extended family, guests, or home business use.
  • Approximately 2 acres of additional land offers opportunities for outdoor activities or landscaping.

Key risks

  • Stripped interiors and a £100,000–£200,000 works budget make this a full-gut programme, not a refresh.
