10 Hawkhead Crescent is an impressive, superbly generously proportioned three bedroom lower villa, forming part of a beautiful 1930’s stone building. The property has been a wonderful family home for approximately 25 years, with good sized front and rear gardens to accompany the substantial accommodation. The kitchen and en-suite have been upgraded in recent times and the home benefits from both double glazing and gas central heating.
The practical entrance vestibule opens onto a spacious hall, which in turn leads to the bright, south east facing, bay windowed sitting room with beautiful cornice and a mantlepiece and open flame gas fire forming a warm focal point in the room.
Fitted with modern blue wall and base mounted cabinetry and a wood effect worktop, the units provide ample storage. The integrated appliances comprise; electric hob, eye level oven and extractor hood. Glazed double doors open onto the adjacent sizable diningroom / family room which is a great space for inhabitants to congregate. In turn, sliding patio doors open onto the wonderful sun room, which is flooded with light in the afternoons, creating a sheltered space to enjoy the garden views.
All three double bedrooms are also extremely spacious, in particular bedroom one, with its tranquil outlook to the rear garden and en-suite shower room with shower, WC and wash hand basin. The family bathroom has a bath (with electric shower over), WC and wash hand basin.
Both front and rear gardens have a lovely mixture of established bushes, plants and shrubs, creating bedding areas between paved areas and stone chippings.
