Somersdal is a handsome red sandstone detached villa which was initially commissioned in 1899 and completed in 1901. The property was built in an era where Scottish architecture was flourishing and influences from this period are amongst many features of the fine family home.

Presenting a once in a generation opportunity, this fabulous detached villa displays the attractive large room sizes, high ceilings and established grounds expected of a typical early 20th century property, however individual features such as the unique staircase, the detailed cornicing and no less than 4 bay windowed apartments really enhance the individuality of this residence.

The local landscape has changed quite considerably since this property was completed. Somersdal owners would at one time have been neighbours to ship building management and for a period Sir William Beardmore who lived in a neighbouring street. There were a number of grand, individually commissioned properties at that time, many of which were demolished after the 2nd World War.

Fast forward to today and whilst Somersdal has stood for more than 120 years, this impeccable property has been tastefully renovated and exceptionally well cared for, offering grand, family accommodation in pristine order.
