Property description

A rare refurbishment opportunity as this imposing early Edwardian comes to the market for the first time in nearly 60 years. Craiglands offers five bedrooms, two reception rooms, a cellar, kitchen, breakfast room and a bathroom, all over four floors with tremendous scope for further improvement. Many of the original features remain intact such as fireplaces, exposed floorboards, cornicing and picture rails. The house is augmented by a pleasant rear garden, enclosed by an original brick wall.

The front of the property has a garden area with central path and steps to the front door.

The path leads to the side garden where there is access back into the house and a gate to the rear garden. The rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with various shrub beds planted around. There is a brick wall surrounding the garden. To the rear of the dining room there is a patio side return with a glass sun room / veranda which could be further improved subject to planning.
