House For Sale £515,000
Enjoying one of Helensburgh’s premier addresses, on the waterfront, with stunning views across the Firth of Clyde to the Rosneath Peninsula and beyond, this distinctive and characterful detached family home sits in beautiful, level and mature gardens. Built in the 1930s, the house does require general modernisation throughout, yet offers fantastic family accommodation over two floors with great scope to further develop and extend the property if required. The property has already been extended over two floors to the side. The extension consists of a garage (with electric roller door, power and light laid on and a courtesy door to the side) and above this, one of the bedrooms now benefits from an adjoining dressing room which could be used as a nursery or study and also an ensuite bathroom. On entering the property from the front, a large and welcoming fully glazed entrance vestibule overlooks the gardens and the water and from here there is direct access into a sizeable reception hall which in turn leads through to the main living room which has full height picture windows taking in the views, along with further windows to the side and rear of the house taking advantage of all available natural light. On the other side of the hall is a sizeable formal dining room again with windows to front and side enjoying water views. There is a cloakroom on one side of the hall, with a wc compartment on the other and to the rear of the house is a well proportioned breakfasting size kitchen which has an adjoining utility room and a rear porch with built-in storage and access out to the back garden. Moving onto the upstairs accommodation, the landing leads to a good sized master bedroom which has built-in wardrobes and windows to front and side, taking in the best views in the house. There is a smaller single bedroom adjacent to this, again with window to the front, a further double bedroom with built-in storage to the rear and at the far end of the hall a large double bedroom with front facing windows and with the adjoining nursery/study and ensuite bathroom. There is also a family bathroom on this floor with separate bath and shower.
As mentioned, the property sits in fantastic, mature and level garden grounds that are enclosed on all sides by walls, fencing and well kept hedging. Large lawns feature to the front and rear and the gardens are perfect for family life, safe for children to play and great for entertaining. To the front of the integral garage is a driveway/parking area and throughout the garden there are mature trees, shrubs and colourful bedded areas. From the front the views across the water are fantastic.
The location of the house is pretty much idyllic, being set off the main road on a quiet street which is virtually traffic free. The picturesque promenade leads from the house along the shore into town and with the centre of Helensburgh only a few minutes’ walk away. Helensburgh provides numerous shops and supermarkets and a variety of bars, restaurants, cafes and delicatessens. There are train stations in Helensburgh with services to Glasgow, Edinburgh and even a sleeper to London. Helensburgh has good schooling, both at primary and secondary level and with the private Lomond School located not too far away. The area is synonymous with those who enjoy outdoor living, with fantastic leisure facilities in and around the town. These include good sports clubs, sailing on the Clyde and the Gare Loch and with the iconic shores of Loch Lomond only a short drive away and providing world class leisure facilities and accommodation. Glasgow is also within easy commuting distance and can be reached by car in around forty minutes and by train in the same amount of time. The International Airport is also easily accessible via Great Western Road and the Erskine Bridge. EPC- Band E.
