5 bed detached house for sale

Fernville FK2

An exceptional opportunity has arisen to acquire Fernville, an impressive double-fronted traditional sandstone Victorian villa, dating from circa 1894. Proudly situated on prestigious Redding Road in the heart of the highly sought-after village of Brightons, this magnificent family home effortlessly combines timeless period elegance with contemporary comfort across over 3,000 square feet of flexible living space. This fabulous property is close to many local amenities including shops, post office, health centre, Polmont Train Station and motorway links providing access to the central belt and beyond.

Early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the scale, flexibility, and enduring charm of this unique and exceptional property.

Set within expansive, beautifully landscaped private gardens, the property is approached via a private driveway offering generous off-street parking and leading to a substantial detached garage discreetly positioned at the rear. The rear grounds have been thoughtfully designed for family living and outdoor entertaining, with a blend of manicured lawn, a sun patio, decorative chips and vibrant stocked borders.

Internally, Fernville has been lovingly upgraded and sympathetically modernised by the current owners, preserving many original features including ornate plasterwork cornicing and the striking wrought iron balustrade of the grand staircase. The main house offers highly adaptable accommodation across two levels, designed to accommodate the demands of modern family life without compromising on character or charm.

On the ground floor, a welcoming hallway gives access to a beautifully appointed bay-windowed formal sitting room and an elegant family room, both featuring period fireplaces and generous proportions ideal for entertaining or relaxing in style. To the rear, the heart of the home is the expansive, modern open-plan dining kitchen, complete with contemporary wall and base units, and two sets of French doors leading directly to the garden. Also on this level is a well-proportioned bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a family bathroom featuring a sleek vertical radiator, mains-powered shower, and stylish tiled flooring.
In addition to the main residence, the property benefits from a fully refurbished attached cottage (completed in 2015), providing a highly versatile self-contained annexe with its own front and rear entrances. Offering stylish, single-level accommodation including a fitted kitchen, living space, two bedrooms, bathroom and utility room, this wing would suit a variety of uses such as multi-generational living, a home office suite, or as a potential income-generating rental.

The original staircase, flooded with natural light from a large half-landing with a Rennie Mackintosh inspired stain glass window, ascends to the upper level where there are two superbly sized double bedrooms both with fitted robes. A family shower room completes the upper floor accommodation.

Further benefits include gas central heating, double glazing, generous storage solutions throughout, and a superb standard of presentation both inside and out.
