· Very smart (circa 2018) Kitchen.
· Well-equipped Utility Room (former kitchen).

· In Lower East Helensburgh.
Built circa 1903 a traditional sandstone fronted Semi-Detached House located in the town’s Lower East Side, and but a couple of hundred metres from the waters of The Firth.
It is a five-apartment property (two public, three bedrooms) with a third public room re-modelled in 2018 to make a more usable, and larger, dining kitchen which in turn allowed the former galley kitchen to become a great utility room (see photographs). This alteration works very successfully which together with a modern bathroom suite, replacement double glazed windows (circa 2016) and mains gas central heating with combination boiler (boiler installed circa 2017) makes for a very easy home to live in. The central heating boiler, which is serviced annually, is a Vaillant ecoTecpro 24 combi boiler. Acknowledgements of the property’s origins are, nonetheless, retained by way of the gorgeous original pine doors, the staircase with its hand carved newel posts, handrail, and balustrade (balustrade painted) and the ceiling plaster cornice in many rooms.
Ground floor
· Entrance Vestibule – Storm doors.
· Reception Hall – A wide, deep, and welcoming entrance hall with understairs storage cupboard.
· Lounge – Bay window to the front and with fireplace in oak into which is set a marble inlay and hearth.
· Living Room – Rear facing and with a cast iron corner fireplace with a working fire.
· Kitchen – This was installed circa 2018 and features a compliment of attractive Shaker style units with solid beech worktops into which is set an enamel Belfast sink. There is a black Range cooker with seven gas hobs and an inbuilt fridge.
· Utility Room – The former kitchen and featuring cherrywood units with solid granite worksurfaces. Appliances here include a, now, disconnected gas hob (could be reconnected) an oven (not working) and a grill (working). Above the hob is a filter cooker hood. Included within the sale will be the washing machine. Windows to rear and side, and a back door.
First floor
· Staircase – A fine staircase ascends to a first-floor hall with a deep fitted storage cupboard and a hatch to the property’s attic.
· Bedroom 1 – The main bedroom with a bay window to the front.
· Bedroom 2 – Rear facing with a two framed window.
· Bedroom 3 – Another double room with window to the front.
· Bathroom – White suite, mostly tiled including floor, electric Mira Sprint shower set over the bath. Chrome towel radiator.
Garden
To the front there is a well-maintained privet hedge that screens a lawned front garden from the road. A pathway extends up the side of the property and leads to the front door where there are two external power points. There is a red sandstone side wall with an iron front gate and at the side of the property, a wooden gate opens to the side path where there is wall lighting and an external water tap. At this side pathway is a high brick garden wall. The rear garden lies to grass mainly and is enclosed with walls (brick and stone) on two sides. Upon it is a timber Garden Shed and two smaller timber Store Sheds. More significantly, however, and attached to the rear of the house is a brick-built Workshop with two doors, slate roof and Velux window.
Situation
In Lower East Helensburgh, the property is well placed for reaching the Town Centre and the amenities there. On East Clyde Street there is a handy Tesco Mini-Market. Railway Stations of Craigendoran and Helensburgh Central are within reach, offering services to Glasgow and Edinburgh with Helensburgh Upper Station (The West Highland Line) heading northbound and providing a sleeper service to London. School catchment is Colgrain Primary and St Joseph’s Primary with secondary provision at Hermitage Academy. Helensburgh is also home to the Independent Lomond School. In addition to the shops of the Town Centre there is a large Morrisons at the east of Helensburgh, opposite Hermitage Academy. Falling within Argyll & Bute, Helensburgh is on the doorstep of some of Scotland’s most dramatic scenery including nearby Loch Lomond. The shores of The Firth of Clyde are literally a couple of hundred metres away, just across East Clyde Street.
