South Queensferry is where most tourists drawn to the massive red girders of the Forth Bridge congregate to look with awe and take photographs. But it is the near neighbour across the water, North Queensferry, that has the enviable south-facing position which this contemporary detached villa at Carlingnose Way makes the most of, with one of the most spectacular views possible of the Firth of Forth.
The accommodation is arranged over three floors, with the internal area (including garage) extending to just under 4,000 sq ft, with the majority of the rooms enjoying a view of the firth.
The upper ground floor contains a hall, family room, drawing room, dining room, conservatory, huge kitchen/diningroom with fitted units and appliances, study and utility room. The first floor boasts master bedroom with en suite bathroom, four further bedrooms and a separate public bathroom. The lower ground floor contains a games room (with separate WC), garage and storeroom/wine cellar (which, incidentally, has racking that can accommodate several hundred bottles).
The house is definately designed for parties; the lower ground floor contains a games room (with separate WC), garage and storeroom/wine cellar (which, incidentally, hyas racking that can accommodate several hundred bottles). The games room is large enough to fit an 8ft slate-berd snooker table and there is a also a fully-fitted bar and gantry.
Externally there are extensive, landscaped gardens both west- and east-facing. The conservatory (attached to the dining room) also opens out to a large, south-facing terrace which attracts the sun for much of the daylight hours. The property is within 100 metres of a beach and also the Fife Coastal Path.
Just to emphasise that North Queensferry is almost as accessible to Edinburgh as its southern counterpart, the selling agents say that Haymarket is accessible by train in only 17 minutes from the local railway station and that the Airport is a 15-minute drive away. “In fact, it is fairly accessible to much of central Scotland and the current owner comfortably commutes daily to Glasgow,” said Deidre Coogan of D J Alexander, one of the joint selling agents.
The property is priced at offers over £895,000. Further details from D J Alexander, telephone 0131-558 3000.
