4 bed detached house for sale

Beechwood, 9 Victoria Avenue, Milnathort KY13

A substantial and characterful Traditional Detached Villa, dating from circa 1850 and enjoying a central position within the highly sought-after village of Milnathort. Bursting with period charm and beautifully presented in move-in condition, this impressive home offers exceptionally spacious and flexible accommodation together with a generous, private south-facing garden. Originally comprising two separate dwellings, the property has long since been combined to create one substantial family home. Its fascinating history is reflected in the distinctive and versatile layout, which retains two entrance hallways and two separate staircases, providing independent access to the upper accommodation. Traditional features remain throughout, including decorative ceiling roses, cornicing, picture rails and feature fireplaces, all combining beautifully with the modern comforts required for everyday family living.

The generous ground-floor accommodation comprises two entrance hallways, an attractive sitting room with adjoining study area, and a versatile family room/Bedroom 4, ideal as an additional reception room, guest bedroom or home office. At the heart of the home is a spacious contemporary dining kitchen, complemented by a practical utility room. The property's unique dual-staircase arrangement adds considerable character and flexibility to the upper accommodation. One staircase leads to the family bathroom at mid-landing level and continues to Bedroom 2, while the second staircase provides access to a shower room at mid-landing level before continuing to the principal bedroom. Bedroom 3 cleverly connects the two sides of the upper floor with Jack and Jill access to both staircases, creating an unusual yet practical flow between the two parts of this historic home.

A particular highlight is the substantial south-facing rear garden, which is fully enclosed and enjoys an excellent degree of privacy. Offering plenty of space for outdoor dining, entertaining and family enjoyment, the garden provides a wonderful retreat in the heart of the village. Perfectly positioned for village life, the property is within easy walking distance of Milnathort's local shops and amenities, highly regarded schooling, golf course and beautiful surrounding countryside.
