Four double bedrooms across two floors, approx. 2,249 sq ft
Set on a generous plot in peaceful Balgowan, South Lodge is a spacious four-bedroom detached family villa that combines period character with modern comforts. High ceilings, a bay-windowed lounge and a recently fitted Shaker kitchen with marble worktops give the house a comfortable, lived-in feel. The property extends to about 2,249 sq ft across two floors and benefits from double glazing and oil central heating.
The fully enclosed, low-maintenance gardens back onto open countryside, offering privacy and wide views from many rooms. A broad driveway provides off-street parking for several vehicles and leads to an annex currently used as a games room and office — easily repurposed as additional accommodation, studio or home workspace. The ground floor layout includes two reception rooms (one used as a snug that could serve as a bedroom), a utility, conservatory/sunroom and two bathrooms; two further bedrooms sit on the upper level.
Practical considerations are candid: heating is oil-fired, which requires regular servicing and fuel planning; council tax is described as expensive; broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average, reflecting the rural setting. The property sits in a remote, agricultural area — ideal for buyers seeking countryside living but requiring travel for wider amenities and commuting connections.
For a family wanting space, an annexe and garden with uninterrupted rural views, South Lodge presents strong appeal. It is best suited to buyers comfortable with country living who can manage oil heating and limited digital connectivity, or who see potential to upgrade services for long-term convenience.
