Bearsden is a highly desirable area in which to live and within it the Thorn district is undoubtedly one of its most sought after.
Rossendale is a pre-war Detached House dating from 1925 with later additions – firstly a ‘West Wing’ that added the TV Room (which combined with the Home Office, Inner Hall and Shower Room has the capacity to be a self-contained relative/teenager’s wing) and much more recently (2010) the superb open plan Living/Dining Room at the rear of the house featuring bi-fold doors to the back garden and a large lantern style glass roof light.
Our clients have owned Rossendale for twenty-two years and over that time have constantly maintained and improved the house. As detailed above, they have also extended the house which, together with the renewal of the Kitchen (2010), has created that key family space of the open plan Kitchen, Dining Room (both formal and informal) and Living Room. All sanitaryware, except the retained period suite in the ensuite Bathroom, has been renewed. The bespoke cabinet makers Neville Johnson were commissioned to make the handmade staircase balustrade, in natural hardwood sapele in 2018 to match the sapele floor of the Reception Hall and Sitting Room – truly lovely work. As detailed earlier, the windows were renewed largely in 2018, by Anglian, with the windows, bi-fold doors and roof light in the Living/Dining Room extension done earlier in 2010. The double-glazed bow window, bay windows and French door, in the Sitting Room date to 1991 and are by Everest. Central heating is mains gas with a two-boiler system (one for ground floor, and one for the first and second floors). These were renewed in 2014 and 2016 respectively, all controlled by Nest Digital Thermostat/Controller. Both are regular condensing boilers, the upper floor boiler heating the hot water cylinder. The house is alarmed.
As one can see the subjects are beautifully presented and decorated with floor coverings including the hardwood sapele (Hall and Sitting Room); Pergo (Home Office, Inner Hall, TV Room and Bedrooms 1,2 and 3); modern grey carpet (stairs, first and second floor Halls, Bedrooms 2,5 and 6); tile (formal Dining Room, Living/Dining Room, Kitchen, Utility, Pantry, Boiler Store, ensuite Bathroom and family Shower Room); quality grade laminate (WC and the Shower Room in the West Wing).
The garden is a delight and superbly planted and maintained. In all the plot is approx. 1/3 acre. There is an abundance of specimen planting. The front garden has the convenience of an ‘in & out’ driveway with the drive continuing to the east side of the house and leading to a double width Car Port, Double Garage and to the rear of this a sizeable Workshop (or third Garage if needed) to the back of which is a Tool Shed (Note: The windows in the Garage and Tool Shed are single glazed steel framed Crittall windows). The drives are finished in smart block paviours and provide off road parking for many cars. There is a rockery bed including a fine acer, and with a lawn to the front of the west extension.
The rear garden is more notable, larger, and a wonderful space. South facing, it captures the day’s sun and lies mainly to lawn. There are patios outside the bi-fold doors of the Living/Dining Room, in front of the TV Room and at a sheltered Pergola which has a brick-built barbeque. As with the front there are perimeter borders and beds all very well planted, another planted rockery and around the garden specimen shrubs and trees to provide interest throughout the season. It is enclosed and gated.
Outbuildings, in addition to the Garage Block, include a Summer House, Shed and a Lean-to Greenhouse to the rear of the Tool Shed. Power and light are installed within the Garage, Workshop, and within the Summer House. At the Car Port is a water tap.
In terms of the accommodation one can refer to our floor plan but it is summarised subsequently. For those who may need the facility of a ‘relative’s wing’ the Home Office, Inner Hall, Shower Room, and TV Room has provided such a facility in the past (Home Office becomes the Bedroom, TV Room has independent access via the French doors) for a previous owner.
