House For Sale £638,000
Home to just three substantial detached Victorian homes, John Street Lane is an exclusive address in the much admired west side of town. No 2 is a very pretty and substantial traditional sandstone villa that sits well back from the lane amidst mature, extensive and private gardens.
On entering the gardens from the lane, twin timber gates open into a long gravelled driveway that leads up to the front of the house where there is space for parking. The front garden features a large lawn with mature trees dotted throughout. The gardens on one side of the house feature a generous lawned drying green and on the other side there is access to the side extension, with French doors opening into the kitchen. At the rear of the house is a sheltered and very private garden area bounded by high hedging and with a raised timber decked sitting area, and a monoblock paved patio giving access to the utility room.
Extending to over 2700 square feet, the interior is beautifully presented and offers great accommodation for the larger family, combining attractive traditional features with a well considered decorative style and modern specification. On the ground floor, an outer vestibule opens into the welcoming reception hall with curving staircase to the upper landing. To the front, there are two magnificent public rooms, both with centrepiece fire surrounds and one with a large multifuel stove and with folding doors separating it from a formal dining room at the rear. In addition, there is a further downstairs sitting room/bedroom/home office. To the side of the house and within an extension, there is a stylish, spacious and exquisitely designed kitchen, with extensive high end units, stone worksurfaces, an AGA stove, central island unit and with plenty of space for a dining table and chairs. All of this is formed beneath a high pitched timber beamed ceiling with contemporary cable downlighting. To the rear of the kitchen is a good sized utility room with a door from here into a wc compartment and also with access out to the rear garden.
Moving to the upstairs, the generous landing gets natural light from a large window on the half landing and there is access to each of the bedrooms. The large master bedroom has a south facing window and has a modern refitted Jack’n’Jill ensuite bathroom with a separate bath and shower enclosure, vanity wash basin and wc. There is also access from the landing. There are three further bedrooms and a family bathroom with modern white three piece suite. The house is warmed by a system of gas fired central heating.
Located near to Lomond School, which is a highly regarded private school, the property is in a quiet and established part of Helensburgh, only a short walk from the centre of town where a wide selection of amenities can be found. These include numerous shops, supermarkets, bars, restaurants and cafes, along with banks, a post office and various other amenities.

Helensburgh also has good primary schools and Hermitage Academy. A mecca for those who enjoy the outdoors, Helensburgh and the surrounding area provides some of Scotland’s most spectacular scenery, with Loch Lomond only a ten minute drive away. Glasgow and the International Airport are both within easy reach. EPC - Band D.
