Price of a quiet life isn't too steep. . .

FEW of us want to live near a busy road. Most people want as little traffic as possible outside but in city areas, this can be a tall order.

Not, however, in the case of a townhouse currently for sale at Broughty Ferry, Dundee.

It sits on a no-throughroad called Whinny Brae, the steepest street in Dundee. In fact, some time ago the upper section of the street, which is above the house now for sale, was closed to traffic for safety reasons.

The detached townhouse, on the market through agents Savills at offers over £320,000, dates from the late Victorian period.

Grand in style, it has a turreted corner which provides a bay window in the sitting room and in the bedroom above.

Upgraded and refurbished, and having gained extra ground, this house comes with three reception rooms, a garden room, cloakroom, kitchen, utility, four bedrooms with an en suite for the master bedroom, a bathroom and a floored attic.

The garden is designed to be enjoyed, too. It includes a summer house and two areas of decking, one with a gazebo.
