A home of a sizeable 2376 sq ft [221 sq m] (excluding garage and studio) it can be four or five bedrooms as needed, the original house brilliantly extended, both to the side (garden/family room) with a single storey and to the rear (dining kitchen, utility, shower room, principal bedroom suite) with a two-storey extension, in 2003. Entrance Vestibule Reception Hall 3 fine Public Rooms (two with fireplaces) Study or Bedroom 5 4 further Bedrooms Large Dining/Living Room/Kitchen Utility Room 2 Ensuite Bathrooms Ground floor Shower Room Very large (7.12 m x 5.58 m) detached Double Garage with Studio Room above Gas central heating Double glazing (most rooms featuring custom made sash and case windows) Landscaped garden of some 0.2 acres Our clients have owned the house for some twenty-five years and in that time have invested considerably to not only maintain but to improve, not least the extensions, and upgrade the house. As a result, the market has an opportunity to acquire a period home in one of Bearsden's most sought-after locations but also one equipped and appointed for 21st century living. As clients will see from the home report the subjects are in excellent order, testament to the custodianship of the owners. A most handsome house, the extensions, finished in stone and render, blend effortlessly with the original stonework, are all set beneath regularly maintained pitched roofs in Scots and Welsh slate. The double-glazed sash and case windows, in all rooms of the original house, were bespoke made by the craftsmen of Custom-Built Joinery who also made the reproduction front door, with traditional etched glass panel. Blairs of Greenock were commissioned for the sash and case windows. In the garden/family room. The subjects are very well appointed, maintained, and retain the original features of cornicing, restored high skirtings, exposed stone gable wall in the garden/family room, and the Victorian staircase featuring the original mahogany banister and restored spindles. The large living/dining kitchen has an extensive array of modern cabinets and includes a breakfast bar with appliances including a 110 cm induction top, stainless steel, electric triple oven from the Professional Series by Bertazzoni Italia with a 110 cm hood by Stoves. The Bosch dishwasher and the American style fridge-freezer (this of an age so sold as seen) are also included. The low-profile work surfaces in a slate finish provide a very contemporary appearance to the kitchen cabinets and extend to include a breakfasting bar. Adjacent to this is a substantial, solid oak, corner block worktop. The washing machine and the tumble dryer (both by Bosch) in the adjacent utility room will also be left and are sold as seen. The dining kitchen is very much the heart of this home and is a great space with lots of windows featured on three sides (east, west, and north) including a set of French doors to a lovely, sheltered, garden patio to the “west garden” and a” back door” to the east side of the house and to the garage and driveway. Sanitary ware is white and contemporary in the two ensuite bathrooms and the ground floor shower room. Central heating is mains gas with a Vokera regular boiler serving a 200-litre unvented hot water cylinder to ensure plenty of pressure to showers and taps. Traditionally styled, reproduction, “column” radiators are in all public rooms, bedrooms, and halls with modern chrome towel radiators in the two ensuite bathrooms and the shower room. This is a superb family home in one of Bearsden's most prized addresses and trust that our photographs and video will convey all of its undoubted qualities. The floor plans will illustrate the sensible flow, and extent, of rooms and highlight its generous 2376 sq ft (221 sq m) of accommodation. Outside, the garden is one of the most generous in South Erskine Park and is broad allowing for, at the end of a wide driveway that can take seven cars, the large detached double garage. This is quite an asset with ample space not only for two cars but also storage and work bench. It comes with power, light, and water tap and has a stainless steel pot sink (dog basin), by Empire, with hot water provided by an Instaflow 5 immerser. A key asset is the studio room, accessed via the fixed stair - a most useful ancillary space, with power and light and two large Velux windows. South Erskine Park is very much at the heart of Bearsden with the house only 0.3 miles from Bearsden Cross. Here you will find cafes, restaurants, post office, fishmonger, a butcher, an M&S food hall, doctor and dental surgeries, and a range of other services and independent retailers. At The Cross is the primary catchment school of Bearsden Primary with secondary catchment at the consistently high-performing Bearsden Academy. Bearsden is also home to St Nicholas’ Primary (Duntocher Road) and the independent High School of Glasgow Junior School on Ledcameroch Road, it's senior school just south of Bearsden at Anniesland. Bearsden has nurseries including The Early Years Learning Centre across from the bottom of South Erskine Park. Bearsden's reputation as one of the best places in Scotland to live is enduring with easy road links to the West End and City Centre, bus services, and regular train services including one to Edinburgh (the nearest train station, Bearsden, is just south of the cross, a 10-minute walk from the house). There are tennis clubs and golf courses, lots of walks, and, just north of the suburb, glorious countryside with the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park only a 25-minute drive away. This is a home for a generation and a rare opportunity indeed to acquire one of such good order in this prime location.
