Saughal Massie, CH46 5NG

The property is now in need of a programme of updating and improvement, but its proportions, character and outside space give it a huge amount of potential. From the attractive parquet flooring running through a number of the principal rooms to the generous reception space and mature garden beyond, there is plenty here for a buyer to work with. At the heart of the property is the large main reception room, an impressive space with ample room for both lounge and dining furniture if desired. The room retains attractive parquet flooring and a feature fireplace, while windows and glazed doors to the rear allow plenty of natural light into the room and create a pleasant outlook towards the garden. From here, doors lead directly into the conservatory, which is a particularly useful addition to the accommodation. With glazing to several sides and a glazed roof, this is a wonderfully bright space overlooking the greenery of the garden and would work equally well as a second sitting area, dining room, garden room or home office. The kitchen is arranged in a practical galley-style layout with a range of fitted wall and base units, extensive worktop space, tiled splashbacks, inset hob and sink. There is also direct access towards the rear of the property, making it convenient for the garden. Although the kitchen would benefit from updating, its existing arrangement provides a good basis for a new owner to redesign and personalise. There are two bedrooms, with the principal rooms benefiting from good proportions and further character parquet flooring. The larger bedroom enjoys plenty of natural light from its generous window arrangement and offers excellent space for freestanding bedroom furniture. The bathroom is fitted with a three-piece suite comprising bath, wash hand basin and WC, together with tiled walls and a frosted window for natural light and ventilation. As with the remainder of the property, this provides an opportunity for a purchaser to introduce a more contemporary finish. Without doubt, one of the standout features is the substantial rear garden. Unusually generous for a flat, the garden extends away from the property and is surrounded by an abundance of mature trees, shrubs and established planting, creating a wonderfully leafy and secluded feel. There is a paved patio immediately adjoining the property, providing space for outdoor seating, with the garden continuing beyond through mature planting and lawned areas. While the garden would benefit from some clearance and landscaping, its sheer size provides enormous potential. A new owner could create defined lawn, planting and entertaining areas while retaining the mature greenery and established trees that give the space so much character. There is also a garden shed providing useful external storage. The combination of ground floor accommodation, two bedrooms, generous reception space, a conservatory and such an impressive garden makes this a particularly appealing proposition. Although requiring modernisation, it offers the increasingly rare opportunity to purchase a property with genuine potential and create a fantastic home around an already spacious and versatile layout.
