Within the Kessington district of Bearsden the pre-war properties built by the Southern Building Company are the most admired. Quality built and with great room sizes they have long been to the fore of the Bearsden property market.
Originally an all on the level home this Semi-Detached House had first floor accommodation added, decades ago, to make it a larger two-level property. Our clients purchased the house in 2019 and then embarked upon a significant programme of upgrading and re-modelling the layout – most significantly this included creating that key family space of a large open plan kitchen/living/dining room, to the rear of the house from a group of previously three individual rooms, together with a utility room and ground floor shower room. The staircase to the first floor was re-positioned, renewed, and made far better. Throughout much has been replaced/renewed the result of which is a hugely impressive and rather spacious home providing all the character of its exterior façade with all the appeal and convenience of a very modern interior.
Nearly all the improvements and alterations were undertaken and completed in 2021. This has included the creation and fitting of the open plan dining/living/kitchen and the forming of the utility and shower room. The central heating system was installed and includes a ‘wet’ underfloor heating system in the above rear area of the house. The boiler is an efficient Worcester Greenstar 8000 condensing combination boiler, all controllable by a Nest digital thermostat which can also be operated remotely by a smart phone. In addition to the shower room, the bathroom upstairs was also renewed in 2021 with all sanitaryware fitments and tiling of a high standard and contemporary in design. The kitchen and utility were designed and supplied by Wren Kitchens and feature lovely Shaker units in parchment white. The kitchen is a great space and has a central island with work surfaces in a contrasting walnut wood strip finish. Above the worktops is cool ‘Metro’ wall tiling in white, with grey grout. The whole house is double glazed with white UPVc framed units, some pre-dating our clients’ ownership. Those in the dining room, living room and kitchen along with the living room French doors date from 2021 as does the Velux window above the stairwell. The black double-glazed front and back doors were also fitted in 2021. A new alarm system, by Yale, was installed, again controllable by a smart phone.
Ground floor
• Vestibule with striking black and white floor tiling.
• Hall – New staircase and understair storage cupboard,
• Lounge – Bay window to the front and of a generous size. Stone ‘Minster’ fireplace at the focal point of the room with a living flame coal effect gas fire.
• Dining/Kitchen/Living Room – A very spacious open plan area with windows, and French doors, on four sides. The kitchen is the heart of this space and very impressively done. Appliances include induction hob (in the island), oven, combination microwave oven, concealed dishwasher, and fridge freezer (all by Bosch). Designer ‘lampshade’ filter cooker hood by AEG.
• Utility Room – With plumbing for washing machine and space for a tumble dryer. Back door.
• Shower Room – Brilliantly done. Concrete style floor tiling. White ‘Metro’ wall tiles with grey grout. The shower enclosure features a powerful thermostatic shower with both deluge and hand shower heads.
• Bedroom 3 – A double sized ground floor bedroom.
First floor
• A return flight staircase ascends to a first-floor landing, all illuminated by a large Velux window (white framed, installed 2021).
• Storeroom – Walk-in, wall shelves fitted, door hatch to further eaves storage.
• Bedroom 1 – A good sized double main bedroom with wide dormer window to the rear and a run of fitted wardrobes.
• Bedroom 2 – Another double bedroom with a further wide dormer window to the front with good outlook.
• Bathroom – Again, all very contemporary sanitaryware with white ‘Metro’ wall tiling (white grout) and patterned floor tiles. Thermostatic shower again, set over the bath with deluge and hand shower heads.
Gardens
The garden is level and has a long slab and gravel drive leading up the side of the house (water tap here) to a detached Single Garage. The drive would take four cars.
Lawns lie to front and particularly rear. The front has a rendered garden wall and planter perimeter borders. To the side of the drive is conifer planting for screening.
The rear garden is the largest area and is nicely landscaped. It has two patios and a further gravel sitting area. A lovely mature acer is at the rear patio, which faces south and west.
Situation
The Kessington district is quite centrally located in Bearsden to the southeast of Bearsden Cross, which is less than a mile away. School catchment is for Killermont Primary and for Boclair Academy where new £40m+ school premises are scheduled to open this year. At Kessington there is a large Asda and a very handy Sainsbury’s convenience store. Bearsden Cross, the heart of the town, has a great selection of quality independent retailers along with a Marks & Spencer Foodhall. Transport is good with regular bus services on nearby Milngavie Road with the nearest Railway Station being at Hillfoot, about ½ mile away.
