The property is in a very good condition having been modernised and upgraded over the years as clients will see from our photos and video. The traditional “envelope” of its stone facade and slate roof is complemented by the contemporary styling of the interior with its high-quality bathroom and shower room and the smartly equipped fitted kitchen. All windows have been replaced with modern framed double-glazed units (exception being the two, timber framed, Velux’s and the single glazed window in the garage). There is a gas central heating system with an efficient Ideal Logic + System 30 boiler with a large-capacity unvented hot water cylinder (HWC) by Kingspan.
Montrose Gardens, a private road, is a small cul-de-sac with the even numbered homes delighting in gardens down to Tannoch Loch. The rear garden of No.10 has been most attractively landscaped, and planted, with a variety of spots in which to sit and enjoy the calming flows of the waters, and the sight of ducks and swans, not least the patio at the foot of the garden at which is the property’s small jetty and moored rowing boat.
