Wardie Avenue, Trinity

Set on a peaceful cul-de-sac in desirable Trinity, 10 Wardie Avenue is a rarely available, predominantly stone-built semi-detached villa offering generous proportions, original period charm, and outstanding potential to create a truly exceptional family home. Occupying a large, mature plot, the property has been extended to the side and rear and offers approximately 238sqm of versatile accommodation over two floors. High ceilings, cornicing, some fireplaces, and mainly sash-and-case windows remain intact throughout, offering a strong foundation for sympathetic renovation. Although now in need of modernisation, the house presents an exciting opportunity for a buyer to reimagine the interior and tailor it to their own style and specification. The ground floor layout flows from an entry way and bright hall, to a trio of well-proportioned reception rooms including a bay-windowed sitting room, family room and flexible dining room. Off the dining room is a quiet nook, perfect for relaxation, with sliding doors that open onto the garden. The kitchen has built-in bench seating and a wide window that frames the garden perfectly. A family bathroom can also be found on this floor. Upstairs, there are five generously sized double bedrooms including an impressive principal bedroom with ornate cornicing and a large bay window with seating. A further family bathroom and a versatile utility room are also available on this level along with access to the substantial loft which provides excellent storage in addition to the many cupboard spaces throughout the home. Externally, the property boasts an especially large garage with power and lighting, ideal for cars, a workshop or home gym. The front and rear gardens are well established and offer exceptional privacy and space. The property is fitted with gas central heating and double glazing.
