Beatrice Gardens, Houston, Johnstone, PA6

A magnificent detached family villa occupying an enviable position within one of Houston’s most desirable residential streets.

Built by O’Brian Homes circa 1995, this impressive property provides exceptionally spacious and versatile family accommodation, set within generous, landscaped gardens. The home occupies a substantial, level plot within an exclusive residential cul-de-sac and further benefits from a double integral garage, large monobloc driveway and beautifully enclosed rear gardens.

The property does require a degree of internal modernisation, offering buyers an exciting opportunity to update the décor, finishes and specification to their own taste and requirements. The generous proportions, flexible accommodation and existing layout provide an excellent canvas for transformation into a superb modern family home.

The accommodation opens into an entrance vestibule, leading through glazed doors into a broad reception hall with lift access to the upper level. The reception hall provides access to all principal apartments and the staircase. A modern bathroom is conveniently positioned off the hall.

The impressive formal lounge extends to over 24 feet in length and features windows to the front, an additional side window, attractive fire surround with gas fire and patio doors leading directly to the rear garden. There is also a bright and spacious dining room with patio doors providing access to the rear garden.

The modern fitted dining kitchen provides a generous range of wall and floor-mounted units, worktop space and integrated appliances. The adjoining utility room offers matching cabinetry, space for laundry appliances and direct access to the side of the property and double garage.

The ground floor further benefits from a fifth bedroom, currently incorporating fitted furniture and being utilised as a home office, providing excellent flexibility for a variety of uses including a bedroom, study or additional family space.

Upstairs, a bright galleried landing provides access to the bedrooms, bathrooms and a large sitting area. The impressive principal bedroom enjoys views over the rear gardens, fitted wardrobes and a modern en-suite shower room.

There are three further double bedrooms, all benefiting from fitted wardrobes, with bedroom three also enjoying an en-suite bathroom. The substantial upper-level sitting area offers excellent versatility and could potentially be converted to create an additional bedroom, subject to the necessary consents and alterations. A family bathroom with a four-piece suite completes the upper accommodation.

Further features include gas central heating, double glazing and an alarm system, while the double garage benefits from a remote-controlled door and internal access via the utility room.
