Terraced house for sale in Matheson Road, Bonar Bridge IV24

This beautiful conversion is of historic and architectural significance and is part of a redevelopment of the historic b-listed Migdale Hospital, close to the village of Bonar Bridge. Number 3 is full of exquisite period details and has an interior space of 111 m2, giving it large rooms with high ceilings.

The hospital was constructed in 1872 and has been converted into several properties of different styles. These are centered around meticulously landscaped communal spaces with paths, mature trees, and seating areas. Residents' parking is available on site.

The property has a generous timber-enclosed private courtyard to the front, leading to a porch that opens into a large hallway. The living room has a pair of traditional six-over-six sash windows to the front and French doors opening onto a small private area with access to the communal garden. This room is beautifully light-filled, featuring recesses, alcoves, and a large open fireplace with a sandstone surround.

The open plan kitchen-dining room has Shaker-style panelled cabinetry finished in a striking warm grey that adds a contemporary touch to the setting. Arranged in a split u-shape, the layout allows access to the large window, creating a small integral seating area. The kitchen is finished with white walls, black surfaces, a white ceramic sink, and stainless steel appliances, lending a modern nod to a beautifully decorated and finished traditional space. A large utility room in a similar style is close by, and has multiple floor and wall cabinets, a sink, and plenty of room for appliances.

The kitchen leads to a sunroom at the front of the house. Enclosed by full-height glass walls on two sides, this delightful space incorporates the original window, which now looks into the kitchen.

A delightful small cloakroom sits under the stairs and features a charming sloping ceiling, WC and petite wash hand basin.

Dog-leg stairs with white balusters lead to two charming attic bedrooms, each featuring coombed ceilings and large skylights; the principal bedroom is double aspect.

The shower room is tiled in white with a shower enclosure with a rain head and is lined in dark grey that complements the slate-style tiled floor. This room also has a WC, wall-mounted wash hand basin and large chrome ladder towel rail.

3 Migdale House is an exceptional property in an absolutely stunning building. With outstanding architectural and historic credentials and immaculate care and attention given to the conversion and decoration, it offers a fantastic home for a couple or small family and is a rare opportunity to own part of Bonar Bridge’s heritage.
