Representing an ideal family home, this rarely available, generous detached villa in Lasswade dates back to 1833 and offers a characterful home with wonderfully bright and spacious interiors, with four bedrooms, study/fifth bedroom, 3 reception rooms, two bathrooms, and two separate WCs. It is accompanied by extensive and beautifully maintained garden grounds, as well as a gated, multi-car parking area. The home is located on a highly desirable street in Lasswade and lies enviably close to excellent amenities such as a selection of shops and other everyday essential services, schools providing primary and secondary education (in addition to independent options nearby), transport links connecting across the county and further afield, scenic open spaces, and the picturesque surrounding countryside. Welcoming you into the home is an entrance vestibule with traditional Victorian floor tiles, leading through to an airy reception hallway with useful built-in storage and WC. The villa has three airy reception rooms - a family/dining room, a living room, and a breakfast room. The family/dining room occupies a generous footprint and offers flexibility for arrangements of lounge and dining furniture. It features a large east-facing bay window capturing the morning sun and lovely garden views, as well as a fireplace (with an electric fire) and a door leading through to a large greenhouse attached to the side of the house. The living room provides a more informal setting in which to relax with family in the evenings, also featuring a homely fireplace (with a gas fire) and a wealth of south-facing glazing capturing sunny natural light throughout the day, including a door which affords access to a patio in the garden. The third reception room, which is conveniently connected to the kitchen, is currently used as a breakfast room and enjoys leafy garden views. The kitchen is currently fitted with a wide range of wall and base cabinets, accompanied by spacious worktops. Provision is also made for a selection of freestanding and undercounter appliances (the fridge and dishwasher are included in the sale), and the kitchen affords access to a rear porch which opens onto the large parking area and garden beyond. This spacious cooking zone could comfortably accommodate a wealth of modern cabinetry to suit the new owner's needs. The home accommodates four well-proportioned and comfortable double bedrooms, as well as a fifth multipurpose room that would also be ideal as a fifth bedroom or as a study - ideal for those requiring a quiet space to work or study from home. The ground floor bedroom is accompanied by a four-piece en-suite bathroom/dressing room, whilst the remaining bedrooms are on the first floor, approached via a staircase and landing. One of the first-floor bedrooms also benefits from a WC just outside its door, and another has access to generous attic storage. The ground floor bedroom's en-suite is an airy, four-piece bathroom/dressing room comprising a bathtub, a large, separate shower enclosure, a WC-suite set into vanity storage, and a custom built-in wardrobe with drawers, shelving, and hanging space. There is also a separate family bathroom housing a bathtub and a pedestal basin. Completing the accommodation are two separate WCs, one accessed from the hall and the other from a split-level landing next to one of the bedrooms. The home is kept warm by a gas central heating system (the boiler was replaced in 2019). The overall plot the house occupies extends to two thirds of an acre with extensive and lovingly maintained garden grounds to the front , sides, and rear. These wonderful outdoor spaces include generous, well-maintained lawns, a wealth of mature trees and shrubs, secluded patio and paved areas for outdoor seating and summer barbecues, large plant beds, and an organic vegetable garden for growing your own produce. Excellent private parking is provided by a detached single garage and a large, gated multi-car parking area. Extras: All fitted floor coverings, window coverings, some light fittings, fridge, and dishwasher will be included in the sale. Some furniture is available by separate negotiation.
