2 Bed Flat For Sale

McEwan Fraser Legal is delighted to present this outstanding two-bedroom apartment within a Grade B listed, converted Georgian mansion. Set back, on an exclusive 4.5 acre plot and rarely available, Midfield House is a highly sought after historic site.
Originally built in the 18th century, Midfield House became the home of local coal-baron James A. Hood (1859-1941). Following a devastating fire in 1912, the celebrated Scottish architect Sir Robert Lormier, reconstructed the property 1914-1918. Retaining the classic Georgian style, Lorimer tastefully improved the south-facing aspect with the Italianate grandeur of a distinctive loggia and water feature. Motifs of children feature throughout and the statue of Flora overlooks the rear gardens to honour Hoods daughter Margaret, who was killed in the 1912 fire. For a long time, Midfield House was a childrens home before being converted into popular period apartments in the late 1980s.
Inside, the property comprises of:
Entrance through the elegant communal hallway, which gives the feeling of grandeur with its high ceilings, ornate cornicing, stained glass window and traditional Georgian lightwell.
Fully equipped kitchen with separate dining/home office space. This space offers the possibility to close off from the kitchen to become a third bedroom or home study. The kitchen is well equipped with gas hob, fan oven and free-standing storage and has been finished to a high standard.
Spacious living area, which is flooded in natural light through the large timber framed windows. The room offers excellent options for various furniture arrangements and the grand open fireplace provides a tasteful focal point.
Two generous double bedrooms are well-proportioned with free-standing storage.
The master bedroom features a beautifully restored fireplace and high moulded ceiling.
Bathroom fitted with a white four-piece suite and separate shower. The corner shower is powered by the gas combi boiler, ensuring great water pressure.
Private garage equipped with electricity and excellent storage space.
The stunning communal grounds boast 4.5 acres and provides residents with ample parking, private garages and well-maintained gardens thriving with wildlife. The North features a mature arboretum, whilst the South provides a serene walled garden. Private pet and child-friendly spaces such as this are rare and highly sought after.
