At the heart of Old Bearsden’s Conservation district, and by Bearsden Cross, a late Victorian, stone, Semi-Detached House with wide plot and a fine south facing rear garden.
A handsome façade presents a two-storey bay to the front with an additional ground floor bay window to the west elevation. The original five principal apartments have been added to by the addition, in 2004, of a quality bespoke-designed conservatory/garden room and, in the same year, a detached double garage, faced in stone and with a slate roof. The house has been re-slated, only the rear projection over the utility/bedroom 3, retaining the original slates.
The traditional period homes in this area tend to come to market once in a generation and as such, this is an opportunity for the purchaser to acquire one of these constantly sought-after traditional homes, and part of the fabric of the town’s historical past. The town really grew with the arrival of the railway in the 1860s, but its history goes back more than two millennia to Roman times with one of its two British frontier walls, the Antonine Wall (55 BC), running through it (the remains of a bathhouse evident, and a World Heritage Site, off Roman Road).
The house has clearly been well maintained but it would be fair to state that the subjects would, perhaps now, benefit from elements of modernising. As in any purchase, this is typically the journey that buyers undertake when turning a house into their own home.
Ground Floor
• Vestibule – with double storm doors and original Victorian tiled floor.
• Hall – long and wide with staircase to first floor. Hall cupboard. Original cornicing. Original timber and glazed front door.
• Lounge – facing to the front (north) with a five-frame box bay window. Modern reproduction mahogany fire surround with tile inlay and hearth and with a living flame coal-effect gas fire. Original cornicing and ceiling rose.

• Conservatory – added in 2004. uPVC double glazed windows on three sides and a double-glazed back door. Bespoke designed, it is finished, externally, in stone up to windowsill level. Door to kitchen. Principally orientated to the west and south.
• Kitchen – of a size to take table and chairs. Cream coloured Shaker units with maple style laminate worktops. Appliances include - a two-oven red Aga (gas), separate gas hob, filter cooker hood, dishwasher, and fridge/freezer.
• Utility Room – with uPVC double glazed window overlooking the rear garden. Cream Shaker units and maple style tops again. Washing machine, freezer.
• Shower – off the utility, a single purpose shower area (internal room) has been created with an oversized shower enclosure featuring a Mira Sport electric shower.
• WC – adjacent to the utility and kitchen, it has a two-piece white suite.
First Floor
• The original staircase (balustrade painted, handrails and newel posts in original pitch pine) ascends to the first floor and an upper landing, which is brightly illuminated by a large Velux window set into the southerly roof pitch. Landing cupboard area (two doors) within which is revealed a fixed stair ladder to the attic.
• Bedroom 1 – a fine sized main bedroom with five frame box bay window to the front (north). Original cornicing and picture rail.
• Bedroom 2 – with two-frame west facing window. Plain cornicing in this bedroom.
• Bedroom 3 – another double bedroom, set to the rear of the house, off the turn of the stair. West window. Cupboard housing the hot water cylinder.

Attic
• From the upper landing cupboard door, a fixed wooden loft stair, with two handrails, gives access to a floored and lined attic with Velux window (south) and five access points to eaves storage. A handy ancillary space.
Central heating is mains gas with a British Gas 330+ regular boiler, with hot water cylinder. The boiler is located within an external boiler store. In terms of glazing, most rooms retain the original single glazed sash and casement windows, with the kitchen window a single glazed fixed frame unit. Only the timber framed Velux windows and the uPVC windows in the utility room and conservatory are double glazed. The house has an alarm. The 2004 double garage has a pitched, and slated, roof and is finished in stone to the front and in Dorset pea render to other walls. The garage door is a Hörmann remote controlled electric door, and there is a side (uPVC) pass door. Power and light installed. To the rear of the garage is a large timber garden shed.
Garden
The front garden, screened from the road by a stone wall and privet hedge, is essentially given over for cars with a generous gravel drive, parking, and turning area. Stone gate posts have wrought iron gates and a mono-block threshold.
Between the house and the garage is a wide gravel path/narrow parking area/drive, with gates opening to the rear garden. This is one of the real assets of the property with its south orientation. It has a block paved path and patio around the conservatory and, above a low-level stone retaining wall, an expansive area of lawn all bordered by hedges, planting, and fencing.
SITUATION
The house is essentially at the heart of The Cross, just a few hundred metres from the shops (including the Marks & Spencer’s Food Hall), cafés, and restaurants. State schooling is Bearsden Primary (at The Cross) and Bearsden Academy (at Courthill), beside which is St Nicholas’ Primary. The High School of Glasgow Junior School is on Ledcameroch Road, its secondary just south of Bearsden at Anniesland. As well as regular bus services, Bearsden railway station provides four trains per hour (peak time) to the West End and city centre and two trains at off-peak times.
