Within an ever popular conservation area on the west side of town, Queen Street has long been regarded as one of Helensburgh’s premier addresses, home to a wide variety of substantial homes. Ronachan was built in 1870 and is a substantial stone built detached Victorian villa set amidst lovely mature, private and very enclosed gardens.
A long tree lined driveway approaches the house from the road, and on one side of the driveway the front garden features a large lawned area bounded by mature shrubs, plants, bushes and trees. The driveway leads up to a parking area in front of the house and to the side where there is access to a single car garage. From either side of the property, pathways lead around to the back garden which is again mainly lawned with mature trees, all completely enclosed, great for children to play in safety and for entertaining. The house itself offers exceptional accommodation that extends to around 2800 square feet and it displays many traditional period features throughout including magnificent fireplaces, cornicing, timber doors and high timber moulded skirting. The accommodation is perfect for the larger family. It is entered via a large and welcoming reception hall with intricate cornicing. From here there is access to two main public rooms to the front, one of which is a bay windowed drawing room with marble fire surround and open fire. The room enjoys a south facing aspect and has timber flooring and intricate cornicing. On the other side of the hall there is a separate family room, again with south facing windows, intricate cornicing , marble fire surround and open hearth. There is also a formal dining room which overlooks the rear garden. The main hallway then leads onto an inner hallway, which, in addition to providing separate entry to the dining room, gives access firstly to a downstairs shower room with wc and wash hand basin; secondly to an understair cupboard; thirdly to a sizeable utility room/scullery and finally to the kitchen. The kitchen has been beautifully refitted with traditionally styled, yet modern units in a lovely duck egg colour. There is a large central island breakfast bar and an AGA stove. A window overlooks the gardens at the rear. In addition to the AGA, there is a built-in oven and hob, as well as a dishwasher and a Belfast sink. The units are complemented by attractive ceramic tiled splashbacks and granite work surfaces. To one side of the property, the former servant quarters, potting shed and coal cellar have been converted into a very extensive family living space completed in a contemporary style with large pitched Velux windows on the ceiling providing great natural light and with double glazed windows to the front and side of the property and French doors opening out on to the gardens. To the rear of this room is an additional downstairs bathroom which is again very modern in design with a free standing bath, large walk-in shower, wash hand basin and wc.
Moving upstairs, on the half landing is the family bathroom, with a free standing claw foot cast iron bath, separate shower, wash hand basin and wc and with windows looking to the side and rear. Moving up to the main landing each of the five sizeable bedrooms are located off the landing, with the master bedroom being a bay windowed room enjoying lovely south facing views. There is a marble fire surround and open fire. A door leads from the landing to a further staircase that ascends to an impressive second floor floored and lined attic room with four velux windows that could be used as a study/home office space. The house is warmed by a system of gas fired central heating.
The property is within easy reach of the town centre. The town provides fantastic shops and supermarkets and many bars, restaurants and cafes. There are great leisure facilities and sports clubs in and around Helensburgh, along with transport services, with three train stations serving Glasgow, Edinburgh and even London. There are great schools in Helensburgh (both state and private) at primary and secondary level. Lomond School is just a short walk from the property. Loch Lomond is within in easy reach and can be accessed in around ten minutes by car and Helensburgh is also well placed for commuting to Glasgow and the international airport. Some of Scotland's most beautiful scenery can be found within a few minutes’ drive. EPC Band - E.
