Deceptively Spacious 5 Bedroom Detached Villa set in Large Enclosed Garden Grounds with Views to the River Ness

Description

Dating back to the 1920's St Ronans is a deceptively spacious, detached villa, which was originally under the ownership of James Pringle, who owned Pringles Woollen Mill. Offering well proportioned accommodation, with many lovely features including high ceilings, coving in some rooms, the use of Parana Pine in many of the rooms and the ornate fireplace in the lounge.

The lounge is a good size, with bay window looking over the garden and the large dining/family room has both bay window and French doors. The kitchen offers ample space for dining and there are three double bedrooms on the ground floor with two very large bedrooms on the first floor. This fine home is tucked away at the end of a cul-de sac and set in fully enclosed garden grounds extending to approximately 0.57 acre with views towards the River Ness.

Ideal for a growing family, this is a lovely property that really has to be seen to be appreciated.
