At the very heart of Old Bearsden’s prestigious Conservation District, this particularly handsome stone semi-villa is set upon a notably large/wide plot and features the most beautiful south facing garden to its rear. A fabulous traditional home with a position of high convenience in the midst of a premier Bearsden address.

The imposing façade of the building presents a full bay frontage along with an additional bay window to it westerly elevation – part of the charming formal dining/breakfasting room (currently used as a second sitting room). Internally, great care has been afforded in retaining the beautiful period detailing that these homes are coveted for, with the layout out of five principal apartments (plus dining/kitchen and home office) providing particularly well-balanced accommodation over the two principal levels. The property has been well cared for over the years (as evidenced in the surveyors’ home report) and is very much ‘ready to go’ for the incoming purchaser. Of course, the successful bidding party would have fantastic scope to implement their own themes and ideas over time.

A very exciting opportunity, with early first-hand inspection encouraged.

Outside

As mentioned, the property sits on fantastic plot that is notable for its generous size and south garden space to the rear. Indeed, the successful bidding party would have ample opportunity to extend/develop the property whilst being left with still very generous garden space (subject to necessary warrants/permissions for the local authority). The rear garden has been professionally landscaped and enjoys various points of interest with its selection of mature trees, shrubs, bushes and perennial specimens. The orientation of the property allows for sun across the course of the day, with sections of hard landscaping providing areas for outdoor seating/entertaining. Ample off-street parking via driveway. Contemporary detached garage fitted with power and light together with a water supply over a sink unit. There is an additional outside tap to the rear of the house.

Situation

The traditional period homes in this area tend to come to market once in a generation and as such, this is an opportunity for the purchaser to acquire one of these constantly sought-after traditional homes, and part of the fabric of the town’s historical past. The town really grew with the arrival of the railway in the 1860s, but its history goes back more than two millennia to Roman times with one of its two British frontier walls, the Antonine Wall (55 BC), running through it (the remains of a bathhouse evident, and a World Heritage Site, off Roman Road).

The house is essentially at the heart of The Cross, just a few hundred metres from the shops (including the Marks & Spencer’s Food Hall), cafés, and restaurants. State schooling is Bearsden Primary (at The Cross) and Bearsden Academy (at Courthill), beside which is St Nicholas’ Primary. The High School of Glasgow Junior School is on Ledcameroch Road, its secondary just south of Bearsden at Anniesland. As well as regular bus services, Bearsden railway station provides four trains per hour (peak time) to the West End and city centre and two trains at off-peak times.
