Windyridge, 21 Brompton Terrace, Perth, PH2

A beautiful and well located villa.

Description

Windyridge was constructed in about 1890 and is a beautifully proportioned Victorian home. The house has been in its current ownership for almost 40 years and while it has been well maintained over that time, it is now ready for modernisation. The main entrance to Windyridge is via its back door which leads to several practical rooms including a boot room, utility room and WC. At the front of the house are two beautiful formal rooms; the drawing room has an open fire, a large bay window and some pretty cornicework while the dining room has a different atmosphere with original timber work left unpainted. Both rooms have large windows overlooking the garden. A cosier sitting room and dining kitchen are at the heart of the house.

An elegant staircase rises to the first floor where there are four double bedrooms. The main bedroom which has a bay window has views over Perth to the hills. Subject to permissions, its interconnecting dressing room may easily convert into an en suite bathroom. The three other double bedrooms are all well proportioned and bright. They share a family bathroom.

Outside
Windyridge sits in about 0.34 acres. To the rear is a large single garage (accessible from the street) and a garden store. Steps lead down to the back door. There is also a useful washing green. At the front of the house is a terrace which is ideal for garden furniture. The remainder of the garden is arranged in shallow grass terraces with gravel paths interspersed by beds of mature shrubs. The garden has lots more potential for keen gardeners and is wonderfully peaceful and private.
