3 bed villa for sale

Mungalhead Road, Falkirk FK2

Homes For You are delighted to bring to the market this distinguished late Victorian semi-detached villa, ideally positioned within the ever-popular and long-established Mungalhead Road. Dating from around 1895, this is a character-rich home where period charm has been carefully preserved, with flexibility to suit individual tastes.

A traditional tiled storm porch leads into a welcoming vestibule before opening into a striking reception hallway, where exposed wooden flooring immediately sets the tone and continues through much of the ground floor. The formal lounge is a truly inviting space, centred around a stunning fireplace with a large wood-burning stove that brings both warmth and character. A beautiful bay window that creates a wonderful focal point draws in natural light, while the generous proportions make it perfect for cosy evenings in or relaxed entertaining.

To the rear of the property, a versatile ground-floor double bedroom, complete with an original exposed fireplace, offers the flexibility to suit modern living — whether as a welcoming guest bedroom, a snug for quieter evenings, or a home office with real character. The ground-floor bathroom is full of charm, featuring a large bath, freestanding WC and wash-hand basin, creating a wonderful space to relax and unwind.

Moving through the home, you arrive at the rustic kitchen/dining room — the true heart of the house. This is a wonderfully welcoming space, the kind of kitchen where there’s always a kettle on, a bowl of soup warming on the stove and room for everyone to gather around the table. A large range cooker and traditional open fire anchor the room, while open shelving and a generous window overlooking the rear garden enhance its relaxed, homely feel. With ample space for a large dining table, it’s a room designed for everyday living, conversation and comfort rather than formality. A modern rear porch with statement flooring sits just beyond, offering practical storage for coats and shoes and providing direct access out to the garden.

Upstairs, the staircase curves alongside an impressive full-height window, allowing natural light to flow through both levels of the home. The principal bedroom is generous in size and features a beautiful bay window, enhancing both light and character. The en-suite is a truly one-off space, thoughtfully created using a mix of bespoke and reclaimed pieces. A spacious walk-in double shower features full-height tiling, while a Velux window and glass brick detailing allow natural light to flow through the room without compromising privacy. The standout feature is the bespoke double vanity, formed from an original French dresser, finished with countertop basins and creating a bathroom that feels both practical and entirely individual.

The second upper bedroom is another comfortable double, featuring dormer detailing and currently used as a dressing room, though easily adaptable to suit individual needs.

The home also benefits from a substantial basement, offering excellent storage and exciting future potential, subject to the relevant consents — a valuable addition rarely found in properties of this type.

Interesting Note, alongside its period charm, the home has benefited from a number of thoughtful upgrades over the years. The property has been rewired, is fitted with interlinked fire alarms, and is fully double glazed, with some windows upgraded more recently. In 2023, the rear composite door along with the basement windows and doors were replaced, offering added peace of mind.

Externally, the property enjoys generous, fully enclosed gardens offering excellent space and privacy. The garden provides a fantastic blank canvas for green-fingered buyers, with plenty of room to create something special over time. Its size and layout make it ideal for relaxing, entertaining friends and family, or enjoying summer barbecues, while still allowing flexibility to shape the space to suit individual tastes.

Situated within the popular Bainsford area of Falkirk, the property enjoys a convenient yet settled setting, with a wide range of local amenities, shops, schools and eateries close at hand. Falkirk town centre is within easy walking distance, while Falkirk Grahamston Train Station is approximately a 17-minute walk or 3-minute drive, providing excellent rail links to Glasgow, Edinburgh and beyond. Excellent road connections are also nearby, making this an ideal location for commuters seeking accessibility without sacrificing a sense of community.

Early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the charm, space and individuality this exceptional home has to offer.
