House For Sale £265,000
• Pre-war Semi-Detached House.
• Corner plot with Deepdene Road.
• Roof has been re-tiled.
• UPVC double glazing, gas central heating.
• Cavity wall insulation.
• Garage.
• Two Public Rooms, three Bedrooms.
• In the popular Westerton district.
• Nearby Railway Station and Primary School.
• Boclair Academy Secondary catchment.
The Westerton district is one of the most popular in Bearsden, having Westerton Railway Station with its regular links into the City and West End and for having the excellent little Westerton Primary School nearby. Other benefits being the local Library, Tennis and Bowling Club and its well-stocked General Store. Add to this the charming Conservation Area of Westerton Garden Suburb, the first Garden Suburb in Scotland, built in 1913, and a little architectural gem.
Monreith Avenue is nearby all of these and was built pre-war by John Lawrence Builders. No.24 occupies a lovely corner plot, with Deepdene Road. Its driveway is off Deepdene Road, will take up to three cars, and has a larger than standard single garage. Clients will note that the roof has been re-tiled, this was done along with the neighbour about 7 years ago, we are informed. In 2013 the brick cavity walls had cavity wall insulation installed for which there is a 25 Year Guarantee. At the same time additional loft insulation was fitted. The house has UPVC double glazed windows, only the rear porch windows and the porthole window in Bedroom 3 are single glazed. Central heating is mains gas and here the boiler was replaced, in 2012, with a Sabre 35HE combination boiler. The house has interlinked heat and smoke detectors fitted.
Retained is the original tiled fireplace, in the lounge, however the chimney was removed when the house was re-roofed. A fire could still be installed by fitting a suitable flue. In the hall, lounge, dining room and on the stair treads and risers, the lovely original Canadian pine boards are featured. In Bedroom 1 the pine floorboards have been painted white – a nice effect.
Accommodation
ground floor
• Open Entrance Porch.
• Hall.
• Lounge – Bay window and fireplace. Double doors lead through to the dining room. Picture rail.
• Dining Room – Unusually for this type of property it features an oriel bay window.
• Kitchen – Galley style. Cream coloured Shaker units are featured with contrasting black worktops into which is set a stainless-steel sink. Appliances include four burner gas hob, oven, filter cooker hood, dishwasher and washing machine.
• Rear Porch – A single skin extension with single glazed windows but with modern UPVC double glazed back door. Corrugated roof.
First floor
• Staircase – The treads and risers feature the original pine boards – a lovely feature.
• Upper Hall – With gable window to the side of the house. Hatch with loft ladder to the attic.
• Bedroom 1 – A particularly roomy main bedroom with bay window to the front and the aforementioned painted floorboards. Picture rail.
• Bedroom 2 – Another double bedroom.
• Bedroom 3/Nursery/Home Office – A small room, ideal as a nursery or, as is, a home office.
• Bathroom – White suite. Tiling to half height on all walls.
Gardens
The gardens lie to front, side and rear. To the front and side, a mature privet hedge follows the line of the pavement and then there is a section of 5’ high Banbury wall sheltering a patio area to the side of the house. This wall continues along the line of the pavement to the driveway which is laid to red gravel chips, and which will take up to three cars. The garden is particularly well planted to the front where there is a section of grass and where a garden gate opens to a pathway that leads to the front door and along the long side of the house. Here is the sheltered sitting/patio area and below the window of the kitchen, an external water tap. The sitting area is enclosed on three sides by the 5’ high Banbury wall and is laid again to red gravel chips. The rear garden incorporates the drive and has a small section of grass and some planting. On it is the detached single garage, which is larger than standard and has a courtesy door to the side. The actual garage door is broken (a rollover door, the mechanism is stuck) so the garage is used only for storage. It has a corrugated plastic roof for light. To the back of the garage is additional garden space.
Situation
Westerton is a delightful place in which to live and at its heart is the Garden Suburb. Along with a Tennis Club there is also a Bowling Green and the aforementioned assets of Library, General Store and the Railway Station. Secondary Schooling is at Boclair Academy in Bearsden to which a bus service is laid on and here the new Boclair Academy School premises (a £40m+ project) has just opened.
