This substantial Victorian villa on Stewart Avenue combines original period character with flexible modern living. The home’s high ceilings, bay windows and ornate cornicing create bright, generous rooms that make an immediate impression, while large picture windows and an elevated terrace deliver uninterrupted views across the Firth of Forth to Fife and the Ochil Hills.
Set over three levels, the house offers five principal bedrooms plus a self-contained one-bedroom annexe with its own entrance — useful for multigenerational living, home-working or rental income. The well-established, landscaped garden, summer house, pond and private driveway provide ample outdoor space and off-street parking for family life and entertaining.
Practical considerations are clear: the property has an EPC rating of E53 and Council Tax in Band F, so running costs are higher than more energy-efficient homes. The house will suit buyers prepared to retain and restore period features; some modernisation and updating of services may be required to meet contemporary expectations.
Location notes are candid: the immediate area is classified as a transitional neighbourhood with a concentration of constrained renters, and the wider locality shows signs of socioeconomic deprivation. For buyers seeking character, space and sea views — or investors targeting lettable annexe income — this villa represents a rare, versatile opportunity, provided budget allowances are made for higher running costs and possible refurbishment works.
