A small WC completes this level, adding to its functional design.
Upstairs is anchored by a bright landing illuminated by a traditional cupola, leading to the principal bedroom, a secondary bedroom, and a modern bathroom. The property also includes landscaped front and rear gardens; the rear garden offers a peaceful retreat with designated seating areas and access to an expansive cellar that has development potential (subject to planning permission).
Practical amenities include gas central heating and double glazing throughout. Unrestricted on-street parking adds to the convenience of this residence.
Location-wise, Willowbrae combines tranquility with accessibility. Within just ten minutes on foot, you can reach various local amenities including minimarkets, shops, restaurants, and pubs.
