A beautiful four or five bedroom semi-detached, period home in stunning red sandstone finish and situated within one of Kilmarnock’s most sought after locations, walking distance to the well reputed Gargieston Primary School, Grange Academy and a host of other amenities.

Extending to almost 2,000 sq ft of accommodation, arranged over two floors, the property has been superbly maintained by the longstanding owners and retains many original character features, perfectly blending with the modern yet contemporary fixtures and fittings including a stylish recently re-fitted kitchen and stunning family bathroom. Externally the property is very neatly maintained with plenty of parking to the front in a monoblock finish culminating in a single garage with craft room at the rear complete with multi fuel burner. The walled garden at the rear is fully enclosed and both child and pet safe with a well tended lawn and monoblock patio and pathway.

The front door opens into a welcoming inner entrance hall with a beautiful sweeping staircase to the upper floor together with access to the many downstairs apartments. These include the front facing bay windowed lounge with attractive fireplace with in set wood burner. There is an additional family room to the front, also with a wood burning stove as well as a dining room/bedroom at the rear. The kitchen is at the end of the hallway within an extended portion of the house and has been fully refitted recently providing a range of wall and floor mounted units complete with built in appliances, dining space, study area, pantry cupboard and handy WC/cloakroom. There is also double doors to the rear garden and patio.

On the half landing is the stylish family bathroom compete with walk in shower, claw foot bath and wash hand basin as well as feature tiling to the floor and walls. There are three bedrooms on the first floor, all good sized doubles and completing the accommodation is a large walk in store on the upper landing.

The property represents a fantastic sustainable family home due to the installation of solar panels on the south facing roof which generate a substantial income, particularly in the summer months, approximately £1,800 - £2,000 per annum. Together with the wood burning stoves the running costs are significantly lower than a similar styled property which will likely add to the overall appeal, especially given the current climate with regards to utility prices moving forward into 2022 and beyond.

McLelland Drive is situated within seconds of the leafy Howard Park with it’s various walking and cycling routes, children’s play area, exercise machines and picnic benches. The park also provides a link through to the Supermarket which is conveniently located at the foot of the street, adjacent to the retail park with its extensive range of shopping facilities. Gargieston Primary School and Grange Academy are within walking distance as well as the thriving John Finnie Street and Bank Street which offer a great selection of boutique shops, a number of excellent restaurants and a variety of coffee shops, cafes and pubs. Both the train and bus stations are at the top of John Finnie Street and provide a direct service to Glasgow City Centre.
