Heatherdene was built in 1986 within the former grounds of Bearsden’s landmark building, Schaw House. A low level, low density, development of only some 50 retirement flats, it has lovely residents’ grounds. Whilst having an on-site manager (Monday to Friday, mornings) and a residents’ lounge for functions, it importantly retains a very strong sense of independent living, with each entrance (other than the few flats that have their own main door entrance) being for four flats only. This ground floor flat is one of the larger styles with a kitchen that can take a small table and chairs, along with two double bedrooms. It is on the easterly side of the development with the kitchen and bedrooms facing east (rear) and the lounge and shower room facing west (front). The kitchen has been refitted with a range of dark oak designed Shaker units, with the appliances of cooker, washing machine and fridge/freezer included in the sale. The original bathroom has been changed into a shower room, with a low-level mobility walk-in shower enclosure. Could easily revert to a bathroom.
Central heating is electric with a combination of off-peak radiators (hall, lounge, kitchen, shower room) or convector heaters (bedrooms) and where the hot water cylinder has been changed to an efficient unvented tank, operating via the mains supply (better water pressure). Windows are double glazed with the original timber framed units. In addition to the manager, and the residents’ lounge, there is a guest suite for overnight stays (must be booked in advance). Heatherdene, and the grounds, are managed by the factor, Hacking & Paterson of Glasgow.
The key feature of this flat, must be its ground floor position and its slightly larger footprint will be very evident to those who view. The accommodation comprises:
• Hall – with two hall cupboards, one particularly deep.
• Lounge – two windows to the front. Connecting door to the kitchen.
• Kitchen – with dark oak style units and laminate work surfaces. Appliances as detailed, will be included. Space for a small table and chairs.
• Bedroom 1 – a good double bedroom with fitted wardrobe (sliding mirrored doors).
• Bedroom 2 – another double bedroom also with fitted wardrobe (sliding mirrored doors).
• Shower Room – the shower enclosure has a Mira Advance electric shower.
