Balnakiel House is a very impressive detached period residence that has been sympathetically restored and renovated.

Great attention has been made to retain the original features and character of this home whilst also ensuring a high standard of modern living is achieved.
Approached from an impressive shared ground featuring mature trees including a sequoia fir tree, the property boasts an impressive communal entrance with accessible living ramp, wooden panelled entrance hall, fine staircase and magnificent stained glass windows.

The spacious interior has been attractively modernised utilising some contemporary finishes, which complement the many fine original period features.
A large apartment split over two floors, the property features a selection of generous public spaces, large bedrooms that includes en-suite bathrooms and a family bathroom. Heated by gas central heating the apartment retains many of the original features such as ornate ceiling and plasterwork, cornicing, large sash windows with original shutters throughout, panelled doors and fantastic Georgian style fireplace in the family lounge. It now also benefits from recently upgraded double glazing throughout completed in 2012.
