Location

The town of Peterhead was founded by fishermen and developed as a planned settlement. In 1593 the construction of Peterhead's first harbour, Port Henry, encouraged the growth of Peterhead as a fishing port and established a base for trade. A lifeboat station was first established in 1865. A new phase of growth was initiated in the 1970s with Peterhead becoming a major oil industry service centre, and the completion of the nearby St Fergus gas terminal. At this time, considerable land holdings were allocated for industrial development. It retains a relatively diverse economy, including food processing, textiles, service industries and, still importantly, fishing. Local schooling includes Anna Ritchie Special Education School, Peterhead Academy and Peterhead New Community Campus.

Description

Cherished by the current owners for the last five decades or so, 11 Landale Road is a handsome, detached Victorian villa located in the heart of Peterhead. The house offers generously sized and versatile accommodation over three floors and displays a number of original period features. Rich in character and with potential to upgrade the top floor, this is a property that has been lovingly maintained over the years, creating a fine home in a central location.

11 Landale Road is set back with an imposing pillared entrance and steps up to the front door. This opens into a fabulous entrance hall with intricate floor tiles and elaborate cornicework, along with the pitch pine architraves and skirting boards that are a feature in many of the rooms. Off the hallway is the spacious sitting room with bay window and in-built shelving cabinets set either side of a fireplace. On the other side of the hall is the dining room, again with full height windows and a fireplace. Off the dining room is the well-equipped fitted kitchen which benefits from an extensive range of units along with a two oven cream AGA. The lounge is a more informal and cosy reception room. Completing the ground floor is a downstairs cloakroom/WC and sizable utility room. Also on this level is one of the real highlights of this property- the spa suite which comprises a large sauna, jacuzzi/indoor hot tub and shower.

The main bedrooms are on the first floor reached via a fine staircase which has a beautiful arched stained glass window halfway up. There is a good sized landing off which are three double bedrooms, each with a wash basin. Also on this floor is a dressing room with a wall of mirrored wardrobes, and a bright office/bedroom five.

The top floor is home to two further double bedrooms and a box room, and has great potential and versatility depending on a buyer's requirements.

Outside: There are four attractive stone outbuildings and an expanse of neatly maintained lawn and a dug border. Parking is available via on street parking.
