Property description
In pristine walk-in condition and meticulously designed and decorated throughout, this outstanding semi-detached home is part of a new development of properties converted from the former Migdale Poorhouse. The b-listed building is a former hospital built in 1872 with considerable historical and architectural importance. Just a short distance from the village of Bonar Bridge, East Gate is surrounded by its own garden, and has an interior space of 126 m2 making it a spacious home for a young or growing family.
The property has an attractive communal exterior with lawn and gravel paths; East Gate is accessed via a wooden front door painted green to reflect its heritage. The house opens into a large, graceful hall with wooden flooring and white walls; traditionally styled column radiators in graphite are fitted throughout the house.
The main room is an outstanding open-plan living, dining, and kitchen space, fenestrated on three sides with the original six-over-six windows and a French door leading to a generous private garden enclosed by a stone wall and mature hedging.
A dividing wall that houses a cast-iron wood burner separates the kitchen and living space, allowing each space to remain distinct, while maintaining a contemporary and friendly open-plan arrangement. The living room is filled with natural light from its large windows which are painted white with natural wood cills to complement the wooden flooring. A grey tiled hearth and white walls give the space a clean, modern aesthetic which is echoed in the adjoining kitchen space.
The kitchen's cabinetry is off-white with a dark worksurface and wraps around a large window, offering a sumptuous view across fields. Stainless steel touches such as the sink, extractor hood, and door furniture emphasise the modern-meets-traditional blend that is evident throughout the house. A matching galley-style utility room is close by.
The family bathroom is on the ground floor. It has a deep display area that could also provide useful storage, a shower bath with a shower over it, a WC, and a wall-mounted hand basin.
Two well-proportioned bedrooms are also on the ground floor, each with large, deeply set sash windows and high ceilings. The principal bedroom is L-shaped and has a pretty en-suite shower room with a generous walk-in shower, WC, and wall-mounted wash hand basin. An opaque glass sash window ensures the space is full of natural light.
A white-painted, carpeted staircase sweeps up to the third bedroom on the first floor. This delightful room is full of nooks and features and is coombed on both sides, with skylights offering outstanding views to the front and rear of the property.
Outside, there is a pretty cottage garden with flower beds that hug the walls and low stone walls and hedging allow the incredible views to still be seen. Laid with grass and paving stones, with a charming pergola over the path, this delightful space wraps around the house so that outdoor light can be enjoyed from the south, east, and west. The property also benefits from access to landscaped communal gardens and residents’ parking.
With traditional features and an outstanding location, East Gate offers a unique and exciting property. Outstanding decor further enhances this, giving it a beautiful contemporary edge that marries well with its characterful nature. It offers a beautiful home for a small or growing family, and it is expected to be very popular. Early viewing is encouraged.
