House For Sale £480,000
Dating back to the late 1800s, this exceptional stone built Victorian family home is located at the end of a terrace of three similar properties and is set amidst colourful gardens that are enclosed on three sides, with various outbuildings and a garage to the rear. As the photos and floorplan show, the property combines spacious accommodation over its two floors, beautiful period features and a delightful, bright and airy interior. From its slightly elevated position, there are superb views from some of the rooms over Helensburgh and the Firth of Clyde. On entering the house, an outer vestibule leads into a welcoming reception hall. Off the hall, there is a large bay windowed lounge with a feature fireplace and wood burning stove. On the other side of the hall is a beautiful open plan kitchen and dining room. This kitchen was originally to the rear of the house, but moved by the owners to take advantage of the sunny, south facing aspect at the front.
Also downstairs, there is a family/tv room (currently used as fifth bedroom) which is to the rear of the lounge, there is a gym/playroom to the rear (formerly the kitchen), a large utility room, rear hall (access to the garden) and a cloakroom/wc. Moving upstairs, on the half landing there is a modern refitted shower room here and off the main landing, there are three generously proportioned double bedrooms (two of which enjoy views to the Clyde) and a single bedroom/study. Finally, there is the family bathroom, with a free standing bath, shower enclosure, wc and wash basin. A feature of the bathroom is the exquisite marble fire surround.
Entry to the gardens can be from George Street (with a gate at the side) or alternatively from East Argyle Street, with a further gate and with access to the garage from here. The gardens to the front feature a lawn and numerous mature trees, plants and shrubs. A gravelled path leads from the gate to stone stairs up to the front door. A path leads around the side of the house which is bounded by a stone wall and the rear garden is completely sheltered with a lawn, colourful bedded borders and with access to two substantial brick built outbuildings. One is a large former wash house (featuring the original Belfast sinks) and the other a great space for general garden storage.
The house is located in a well established and popular area, on the east side of town and only a short level walk from the centre of the town, where there are a number of shops along with supermarkets, bars, restaurants and cafes. Helensburgh Central train station is also nearby and provides services to Glasgow, Edinburgh and beyond. Locally there are primary and secondary schools and with private education at the highly regarded Lomond School. The town also provides great leisure facilities, many outdoor spaces and parks, great sailing on the Clyde and the Gare Loch, a golf club, bowling and tennis clubs and other facilities. Glasgow is within easy commuting distance as is the International Airport and the iconic shores of Loch Lomond are just a ten minute drive away. EPC - Band D.
