House For Sale £325,000
Sinclair Street, Helensburgh, Argyll & Bute, G84 8TX

Dating back approximately 180 years, this attractive detached property sits in a very central location, only a short walk from Helensburgh town centre and a wide selection of amenities. The house sits in an extensive plot with large lawned gardens stretching away from the property to the south, all enclosed by stone walls and with colourful bedded borders, patios and sitting areas. There is a driveway to the rear of the house leading to a stone built outhouse that consists of a workshop and storage.

Formed over two floors, the accommodation does require general modernisation, yet offers a great deal of character and charm, spacious rooms and a well thought out floorplan. On the ground floor, an entrance vestibule gives access to the reception hall which in turn leads to a large bay windowed lounge enjoying south facing aspects across the garden and with a feature fireplace and bay window. On the other side of the hall there is a master bedroom which again has a walk-in bay window and a small extension has been added to the side of the house and incorporating a shower and wash hand basin. To the rear of the lounge is a formal dining room and to the rear of the bedroom is a sizeable open plan dining kitchen with wall mounted and counter level units and a door leading out to the driveway. Finally, on the ground floor, there is an understair store cupboard and adjacent to this, a staircase from the reception hall leads to an upper landing. On the upper floor, there are two well proportioned bedrooms (both with dormer windows, built-in eaves storage and additional built-in wardrobes). There is a small box room with skylight window which offers great storage and could be used as a home office. The family bathroom is on this level and has a three piece suite and two windows to the rear. The property is warmed by a system of gas fired central heating and the windows are uPVC double glazed sealed units.

The location of the house is fantastic, literally only a stone's throw from the centre of town where a wide selection of shops, supermarkets, bars, restaurants and cafes can be found. Helensburgh Central train station is just a two minute walk away and provides services to Glasgow and Edinburgh and Helensburgh Upper Station is just further up Sinclair Street with a sleeper service to London and trains going up the west coast of Scotland. The area is perfect for those who enjoy the outdoors, with numerous sports clubs in and around the town along with great sailing on the Firth of Clyde and the Gare Loch and with the iconic shores of Loch Lomond just a few minutes’ drive away. Glasgow is within easy commuting distance as is the International Airport via the A82. Helensburgh has great schooling both at primary and secondary level and the private Lomond School is within easy walking distance. EPC - Band E.
