2 bed flat for sale

Strawberrybank, Dundee DD2

Strawberry Bank is a cobbled lane running between Perth Road and Magdalen Green, its stone walls and mature trees framing glimpses of the Tay and Fife beyond, and it has changed very little since the Victorian era. Number 13 is an upper conversion in a stone building on the lane, and it comes with a carriage house of its own, a detached building at the end of the garden. Perth Road's cafes, shops and restaurants sit at one end of the lane, and Magdalen Green and the riverside at the other, so most of the West End is an easy walk from the front door.

An outside stair rises to the flat's own front door, which opens through a vestibule into a hall lit by a skylight, the original timber doors and architraves still in place. The living room has space for a dining table and keeps its marble fireplace and a deep, ornate cornice, with a tall window looking out to the trees. The kitchen is a galley layout off the hall, with a section of exposed stonework left as a feature.

Two double bedrooms lead off the hall, both of good size, with storage and the same corniced ceilings, and a bathroom with a separate washbasin room serves them both. Gas central heating and modern windows are fitted throughout.

The garden is private and laid mainly to lawn, with mature trees, and it runs down to the carriage house. This stands over two levels, with a garage below behind a roller door and a second room above of similar size. As it stands it is excellent storage, and it would suit an art studio or a home office, subject to any necessary consents, a whole building to put to work rather than just somewhere to park.

A West End address that still gives a sense of Dundee as it once was.
