5 bedroom detached house

Edward Drive is located in a quiet and much sought after area in the upper west side of Helensburgh. Set amidst a variety of other house types, number 22 is a delightful example of a substantial detached family home, laid out over two floors and extending to almost 2200 square feet in total. The house has been beautifully extended to the front and rear, with the addition of an entrance vestibule/garden room and a downstairs ensuite off one of the bedrooms. The property sits well back from Edward Drive, amidst lovely gardens that feature a large central lawn with bedded borders to the front, with a long driving providing parking for several cars and leading to an attached double garage at the side. The gardens at the rear feature large areas of patio, a decked sitting area in the far right hand corner (which enjoys all day long sunshine) along with extensive lawns, bedded areas and with a greenhouse (power and water installed) and shed (with power) included. The interior of the property is impeccably presented, having undergone much modernisation, upgrading and redecoration over the years. A lot of the internal timber work including doors, skirtings, facings and architraves have been replaced, there is modern inset downlighting to many of the rooms, the kitchen has been beautifully refitted and the bathrooms and ensuites have been refurnished by Porcelanosa and are to a very high specification. The layout of the house is perfect for the larger family and can be used as either a five bedroom or alternatively a four bedroom, with an additional public room downstairs. On the ground floor, the large and welcoming entrance vestibule doubles as a delightful garden room with large windows enjoying views over the gardens and taking in all-day-long sunshine and with double doors opening from the driveway. This leads into the main reception hall where a staircase ascends to the upper landing. To the front of the house, is a sizeable lounge with windows to the front and side and from here a door leads into a separate formal dining room at the rear with double doors opening out onto the gardens. There is also a door leading into the kitchen. The kitchen is modern, well proportioned and fitted out with wall mounted and counter level units and a range of appliances. A door leads out to the garden and there is an additional door from the main reception hall. Moving from the main reception hall, a corridor leads through to a double bedroom downstairs to the front, additional double bedroom also to the front (which is currently used as a sitting room) and with a further bedroom to the rear of the house which enjoys its own luxuriously appointed ensuite shower room which is fully tiled, with a corner walk-in shower, vanity wash hand basin and wc. Finally on the ground floor is a sizeable family bathroom that features a bath, separate double shower enclosure, vanity wash hand basin and wc. Moving onto the upstairs accommodation, the landing gives access to two incredibly spacious bedrooms, with the master being over twenty feet long, featuring wardrobes/cupboards to the length of one wall and a dormer window taking in views across Helensburgh to the Firth of Clyde. On the other side of the landing is an equally impressive double room, again with great views, built-in wardrobes along one wall and with access into a very useful home office which could be an ideal nursery or additional bedroom. This room has a Velux window to the rear and again has deep built-in storage. Finally on the upstairs floor is a shower room with shower enclosure, wc and wash hand basin. The house is fully double glazed with windows being refitted in the last four years, there is a modern gas fired central heating system and as mentioned to the side of the house is a sizeable double garage with electrically operated up and over door and with power and light laid on.

The new Helensburgh Leisure Complex can be found on the pier and provides swimming and gym facilities. The area is also perfect for those who enjoy the outdoors, with some lovely outdoor parks and spaces, along with Loch Lomond which is only a short drive away.
