The principal bedroom, with its dressing area and en-suite shower room, forms a serene retreat, boasting tranquil views and a sunny south-facing aspect.
Bedroom two is a particularly spacious double bedroom and features built-in wardrobes, while bedrooms three and four both also provide generous accommodation.
A well-appointed family bathroom, complete with bath and overhead shower, serves the remaining bedrooms.
Externally, the houses on Primrose Drive all come with extensive, private front and rear gardens.
The secluded rear gardens borders on the banks of the River Almond and bathes in warm sunshine throughout the day.
Each house boasts a long, private driveway that leads to a single garage and adjoining store, providing excellent storage for cars and garden equipment.
Like its neighbours, this home has been extensively refurbished to create a stylish, low-maintenance haven.
Works include triple-glazed windows and new doors, updated heating and electrics, new kitchen and bathrooms, as well as new flooring and redecoration throughout – ensuring an easy, hassle-free move for the next owners.
