4 This magnificent Category B listed villa is situated in one of the most desirable locations of West Ferry and is within walking distance of all the excellent central Broughty Ferry amenities including shops, schools, supermarkets, restaurants, cafes and harbour. Broughty Ferry is the seaside suburb of Dundee, only four miles east of the City Centre. Dundee City has become established as a centre of excellence in education and life sciences and offers all the facilities one would expect in a major city including private schooling, airport and main line railway station. Claremont is an impressive home spanning three floors and was originally built for William Dawson (circa 1901) who later donated Dawson Park to the City. It was later embellished by WBD Keith for William Boyd of Keillors in the style of Beaux Arts and still retains many original features including marble fireplaces, ornate leaded windows, walnut and mahogany panelling in public areas and decorative plasterwork. A particularly stunning feature is the leaded glazed cupola in the former billiard room. Historic Scotland states that the high quality of the interior is an important element in the listing of Claremont. Modern features include gas fired central heating, bespoke Rosewood fitted dining kitchen with quality integral appliances and luxury bathrooms, shower rooms and en suites. The range of public rooms and bedrooms can be adapted to suit the individual purchasers requirements. The private driveway and parking courtyard has ample space for a number of vehicles and has gate access to Strathern Rd. The beautifully landscaped gardens are well stocked with ornamental areas, rose beds, lawn, south facing terrace and summerhouse.
