Superb period house in Elgin’s west end

16 South Guildry Street is in the catchment of West End Primary School and Elgin Academy and is within walking distance of the town centre with all its amenities and the railway station.

Thought to date from the late 1800’s, the house provides well-appointed accommodation over two and half storeys, with four generously sized reception rooms, attractive breakfasting kitchen with Aga, five bedrooms (two en-suite) plus utility room, linen room and laundry room.  On the second floor there is further accommodation including a sewing room, study, music room and shower room, offering great versatility and the opportunity to add to the number of bedrooms if required.

Outside there is a generously sized enclosed garden, much of which has been mono-blocked to provide parking space for up to seven vehicles. In addition, there are smaller areas of lawn, borders and a sheltered south-facing patio with access to the sunroom.  There are several useful outbuildings which, in addition to providing superb storage space, offer scope for development (subject to obtaining planning consent).  These outbuildings include two single garages, a bike shed, potting shed and loft storage. There is a substantial 4kW solar array with battery storage, ensuring good energy efficiency.

Rod Christie, a partner with Galbraith, said: “This is an exceptional period house combining very spacious and well-presented accommodation with all the elegance and traditional characteristics of the 19^th century. In addition the outbuildings offer further flexibility for use in a number of ways, subject to planning permission. The location of the property is also excellent – in a desirable residential street but right in the heart of Elgin. The property will appeal to a wide range of buyers.”

16 South Guildry Street is for sale through Galbraith for offers over £575,000.
