General Description
Built in 1925 for James Sturrock of Forebank Dye Works in Dundee and now requiring modernisation, this rarely available five-bedroom Arts and Crafts home in Newport-on-Tay offers a unique opportunity to create a stunning family residence. Characterised by generous proportions, versatile interiors, and timeless architectural charm as well as breathtaking River Tay views, the property is nestled within mature gardens, promising an idyllic setting. A gravel driveway guides you to the front door, where you step into an inviting entrance foyer and hallway. To the right, a west-facing living room, bathed in natural light, from a curved bay window features a rich mahogany open fireplace as its focal point whilst carpeting and a soft colour palette enhance its appeal. Warm and welcoming it then flows seamlessly into an adjoining carpeted sunroom, where cottage-style multi-pane windows frame captivating views of the River Tay, making it an ideal spot to unwind. The home’s impressive layout continues with a dual-aspect sitting room again resplendent with cottage-style multi-pane windows offering tranquil water views. Featuring a magnificent ornate fireplace, it is perfect for cosy evenings or entertaining and leads via steps into a bright, formal dining room which in turn guides you to a south-east-facing conservatory opening to the garden. Moving into the kitchen, oak-effect wall and floor units, a white tiled splashback, and smooth white worktops sit alongside an oven and extractor hood. South-east-facing and boasting a sizeable layout it allows for dining and relaxed family gatherings. Completing the ground floor are two convenient WCs, an office, and a bedroom/spacious study, perfect for home working. A vestibule with built-in storage also offers garden access. Ascending the carpeted staircase, a light and airy landing featuring built-in storage leads to four/five well-presented bedrooms: three generously proportioned doubles and two comfortable singles. Offering excellent versatility depending on specific needs, one of the singles could be utilised as a study and one of the doubles is currently styled as a light-filled south-east-facing family room. All bedrooms share access to a well-appointed modern bathroom, featuring a WC, washbasin, bath with wall-mounted shower, and a sleek chrome towel radiator.
