SITUATION

Ladymount represents a wonderful opportunity to acquire a handsome detached house in this unique sylvan setting enjoying great peace and seclusion.

The property was built to an individual specification in around 1900 for a local solicitor and has had only two owners since new. Indeed, this is the first time that this property has been on the market since 1934.

Ladymount occupies a truly unique setting along a little used private road yet despite its tranquil location, Ladymount is within very easy reach of the main university campus, the city centre and St Davids mainline station.

The gardens are a true delight and are beautifully stocked with a whole host of mature trees, shrubs and plants which provide colour and interest all year round. The property enjoys a great deal of privacy and also attracts an abundance of wildlife.

Ladymount is a substantial quality property which offers unspoilt accommodation which retains many attractive period features including original fireplaces and doors and once restored will provide an elegant family home.

DIRECTIONS

From the city centre proceed along New North Road passing Exeter College on your left, continue passing the entrance to the university on your right until you come to the Esso petrol filling station on your left. You take the turning right here into Lower Argyll Road, continue up the hill and take the third turning on the right into Belvedere Road, which continues into Clydesdale Road. Ladymount is then on the left.

Clearly this represents an exceedingly rare opportunity to purchase and restore a superbly located quality home and the owner's sole agents have no hesitation in recommending early inspection.
