Description
4 Dundarroch Gardens is an exceptional house, dating from the 1970s, in a very sought after and desirable location in Broughty Ferry. Situated on a cul de sac, it feels very private. The house was imaginatively designed by a local architect for his own use, and the sellers are only the second owners. The sun room/family room, which creates a fabulous space with the kitchen, was redone in 2016. The house is beautifully presented yet still retains much of its original 1970s style and character. It is a split level house with accommodation arranged over four levels, and links well to its wonderful enclosed gardens; with good sized reception rooms it is perfect for entertaining as well as being a superb home. The house has timber, brick and harled finishes with a slate roof and is fully double glazed. It has tarred parking, a double garage, a distinctive covered car port, as well as a fabulous garden room/summer house in the garden. Latterly, much of the house has been recarpeted and redecorated, while Amtico flooring has been fitted in the cloakroom, en suite and shower room, along with Karndean flooring in the sitting room.
A covered entrance has a front door which opens to a hall with folding doors to a hanging cupboard, and a further cupboard with a Vaillant wall mounted boiler. A timber lined cloakroom has a washbasin and WC, while an inner hall has stairs to both the upper and lower levels, and opens to a dining room which overlooks the living room below, and has a tiled floor and a serving hatch to the kitchen. The stairs lead down to the living room which has a French door out to the garden, and spotlights. Double doors open to a spacious sitting room, again with French doors to the garden, along with a fireplace. Also at this level is the principal bedroom, linking to the garden, with a hanging cupboard and a tiled en suite with shower, washbasin and WC. From the dining room double doors open to the sun room/kitchen. The sun room/family room links to the garden and has a central freestanding multi fuel stove. The fully fitted kitchen has painted wooden units with an AEG five ring gas hob, Beko dishwasher, sink, AEG double oven/grill, fridge/freezer, wine rack, and an informal dining area with fitted seats. A utility room has a back door, circular sink, tiled floor, and a walk in cupboard which is plumbed for a washing machine.
The stairs lead up to a mezzanine study area which overlooks both the dining room and living room and has a fitted desk. Off this is bedroom two with low level storage cupboards, together with a shower room with washbasin with vanity units and WC, and a walk in shelved cupboard. The stairs continue to the upper floor where as well as an additional storage cupboard there are two further bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes.
Outside is the block built garage (5.75m x 5.25m approx.) with a slate roof, auto up and over door, water, power and light. Also adjacent to the parking is the covered car port.
The enclosed garden is a delight, screened by trees and a hedge which provide privacy, and with shrubs and a lawn. The block built and harled garden room/summer house, again with a slate roof, (5.2m max x 3.15m max approx.) has fitted kitchen units with a four ring Schreiber hob, Hygena oven/grill, breakfast bar, low level seating, and folding doors to a tiled seating and outside dining area, perfect for summer and evening light. There is a wooden garden shed and further paved seating areas, including one adjacent to the sun room, and outside lighting.
Location
4 Dundarroch Gardens is situated in a quiet cul de sac just off Monifieth Road, between Orchar Park and Reres Park, which is a prestigious residential area in Broughty Ferry, just to the east of Dundee. It was on the slopes of Broughty Ferry, once one of the richest suburbs in Europe, that the merchant and jute barons of Dundee came to construct their palatial mansions.
4 Dundarroch Gardens is within easy reach of the excellent local amenities of Broughty Ferry, including an ample choice of shopping facilities, supermarkets, library, harbour and the Royal Tay Yacht Club. Broughty Ferry is only a short distance from Dundee city centre, which offers all the facilities expected of a major city. Private schooling is available at Dundee High School, with its playing fields at Mayfield. Eastern Primary School and Grove Academy are easily reached. There are railway stations at Broughty Ferry, Monifieth and at Dundee where there are services north and south, including a sleeper to London. Dundee Airport has flights to London Heathrow. The A90 dual carriageway offers easy access to Aberdeen and to Perth and on south to Edinburgh and Glasgow. Dundee is an established centre of excellence in education and life sciences, and has renowned cultural facilities, including the V&A museum.
Away from the city, the range of outdoor pursuits is impressive. Over the River Tay is St Andrews, home of golf, while the championship course at Carnoustie is only a few miles up the coast.
