SSTC 3 Bed House - detached 

“Madeira Lodge” is a “C” listed three bedroom DETACHED VILLA benefitting from a host of period style detailing offering a unique West End home set within a much admired corner location lying close to the waterfront and the Esplanade. The generous sized accommodation is all located on the ground floor. We are advised the property was built in 1832 and originally may have been a boating station which was situated half way along the Esplanade. A degree of modernisation and upgrading is required which is reflected in the asking price.

The property features an attractive enclosed landscaped garden with selection of shrubs/plants, raised beds, paved patio areas and two ponds. The enclosed pebbled front garden features three grand flower pots which originally came from the Balclutha Estate. There is a garage with side courtesy door and remote control roll door. The garage has power and water supply installed.
