Harper & Stone are delighted and extremely privileged to bring to the open market The Dykes in Dollar. This unique home was designed and built by the current and only owners of the property in 1964. The Dykes is situated high above the town of Dollar and has the most spectacular views of the surrounding countryside, over to The Pentland Hills and beyond.
The accommodation consists of: Ground Floor: Entrance Vestibule, Hall, Lounge, Dining Room, Kitchen, Master Bedroom, Three further Bedrooms, one with En suite Shower Room, Family Bathroom and Utility Room/Toilet.
Entry through the front door takes you into the vestibule with large walk in cupboard/larder, which in turn leads to the Hallway from where the living space flows. The Lounge sits at the front of The Dykes, a beautiful light, bright space with patio doors to the side and floor to ceiling picture windows taking in the breath taking views of the surrounding countryside. In the centre of the room is a beautiful copper log burning stove, a charming and practical feature. The Dining room has a side facing window and single door opening to the garden. A doorway leads into the fitted Kitchen which hosts a good selection of wall and base units. There is a ceramic hob, double oven, integrated dishwasher and fridge freezer. Exiting the Kitchen on the right is the Laundry/Utility room which also houses a WC, handbasin and there is space for two freestanding appliances.
Continuing into a second Hallway on the right is the Family Bathroom which has been tastefully modernised and introduces bath, walk in electric shower, pretty hand basin set on a wooden vanity unit and WC. A central skylight allows the daylight to flood in. On the left is Bedroom 3 currently utilised as an Office/Study, a useful addition if working remotely. A door then takes you into another hallway which is currently cleverly used as a small library and seating area. On the left is Bedroom 4. To the right at the end of the corridor is Bedroom 2 which is side facing, and has an En suite shower room with shower, hand basin, WC along with storage cupboards, shelving and a vanity mirror. The Master bedroom is a spectacular tranquil room with floor to ceiling picture windows allowing the natural light to ebb into the room. There are spacious fitted wardrobes and a sink fitted into a vanity unit.
Overall, The Dykes is furnished with a plentiful selection of storage cupboards and fitted wardrobes. It goes without saying that the large picture windows are a design master stroke, as the views are breath taking. As the seasons come and go the changing outlook of the vistas is spectacular.
Externally there are spacious garden grounds to the front, side and rear of the property which are bounded by post and wire fences. There is a detached Car Port at the side of the property and ample parking for several vehicles.
To the rear of the property is the back garden hosting a bountiful assortment of mature and well maintained trees and shrubbery as well as a patio area and Summer house. The garden continues round to the side and front of the house where there are various types of trees including an apple tree and a beautiful oak tree which was grown from an acorn planted by a family member when the house was built. Continuing to the front is a seating area and further lawn. The views from the House and garden are spectacular and expansive. The Pentland Hills and Forth Bridges are usually clearly visible, and Tinto Hill in south Lanarkshire is regularly on view. Red squirrels, pheasants, various species of birds and butterflies are regular visitors to this tranquil green space.
On one unique winter’s day, a visiting professional geographer noted and confirmed (by compass and map) that a glittering diamond in the far distance was in fact the summit of Goat Fell on the Isle of Arran - 120 miles away…
The Dykes once seen will leave a lasting impression, it has been and will continue to be a happy, unique family home.
The sale will include all fitted floor coverings, light fitting and integrated appliances.
Viewings are strictly by appointment only via Harper & Stone.
