House For Sale £675,000
Occupying a generous plot on leafy Ercall Road in Brightons, this Victorian detached house is the epitome of period charm and grandeur and comes with delightful garden grounds and extensive private parking.
The imposing building instantly impresses with its charming Tudor-style exterior. A porch immediately sets the tone for the accommodation to follow with original floor tiling, cornicing and a ceiling rose, leading through to a reception hall (housing a toilet) with the same cornicing, elegant plasterwork, and a dado rail. To the left of the hall (with an elegant staircase to the first floor) is a lounge and separate family room. To the right is a library/6th bedroom.
Echoing the grandeur of the entrance areas, the high-ceilinged lounge reception area is presented with neutral décor, a carpet, a picture rail, and cornicing.
A large alcove houses a fireplace and fitted shelving, whilst a further alcove features a door onto the rear patio and garden. Next door, the family room with neutral décor, exquisitely detailed cornicing, a picture rail, an understated fireplace, and a trio of west facing windows flooding the room with afternoon sunshine, offers a versatile second reception area. Across the hall, a formal dining room awaits. Fronted by a south-facing box window capturing all-day sunshine, this generous room provides the perfect setting for formal dining and entertaining, with many of the features of the previous reception areas, including a fireplace.
Accessed via an internal hall and adding a modern touch to the home is an open-plan kitchen and dining area (with access to rear patio and garden), ideal for casual weeknight dining, breakfasts and informal gatherings.
The kitchen is fitted with wood-styled cabinets, framed by plentiful workspace and splashback tiling, and integrated with a double oven, an electric hob, an extractor, a fridge, and a dishwasher. The kitchen is supplemented by a large, fitted utility room, with a wealth of cabinets and two integrated freezers, offering a discrete laundry room. Also located on the ground floor is a library with extensive fitted bookshelves, a fireplace, and beautiful period details; a separate study/office space; a dining room servery; and a three piece shower room.
On the first floor you will find five elegantly-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom. The sleeping areas are all beautifully-styled with understated décor and fitted carpets, letting fine period details such as cornicing, picture rails, delightful fireplaces and Edinburgh Presses shine through.
The master is accompanied by a dressing area, a large built-in wardrobe, and an en-suite shower room, whilst two of the remaining rooms also boast their own en-suites. The sumptuous family bathroom, with elegant accent wallpaper and a gleaming tiled floor, comprises a freestanding, claw-foot rolltop bathtub, a traditional-style pedestal basin and toilet, and a bidet. Gas central heating and double glazing ensure year-round comfort and efficiency.
Externally, the delightful home is enveloped by extensive gardens to the sides and rear.
Featuring vast, manicured lawns, patios for outdoor seating and summer barbecuing, and borders of leafy trees and shrubbery, the generous outdoor space is ideal for family recreation and summer entertaining. Outstanding private parking is provided by a front driveway.
Extras: All fitted floor coverings, window coverings, light fittings, and integrated appliances to be included in the sale. Some furniture is available by separate negotiation.
Brightons is a large village in the Falkirk Council area, just over 3 miles from Falkirk itself and close to the larger towns of Grangemouth and Linlithgow.
Built up around a sandstone quarry thought to date back to the 17th-century, from which the stone that built the village’s church came from, Brightons has become increasingly popular with commuters in recent years, owing to its proximity to both Edinburgh and Glasgow, both of which lie under an hour’s drive away, or quicker by train from nearby Polmont train station. The village is home to good everyday amenities, including a minimarket, a pharmacy, petrol station, hairdressers and a beauty salon, as well as a community hall and leafy Laurie Park (known locally as Quarry Park) with sports pitches, children’s play areas, and tree-lined walkways. Tesco is one mile away. More extensive amenities can be found in the surrounding villages and nearby towns, including shopping centres, supermarkets, leisure centres, and sports clubs. Brightons has its own primary school, Wallacestone Primary School, offering nursery and primary education, with secondary schooling provided at Braes High School. In addition to Laurie Park, enjoying the outdoors couldn’t be easier for residents of Brightons, with the scenic countryside within easy reach,
Linlithgow Park and Palace nearby, Falkirk Callendar Estate Walks and Museum, the Falkirk Wheel, and world famous Kelpies, and country parks such as Beecraigs and Polkemmet within driving distance. The property is within easy walking distance of Polmont Station offering fast and frequent access to the cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow. Furthermore the proximity to the M9 and M8 motorways offers fast access to key routes, including Edinburgh Airport.
