A pre-war, brick built, Detached Bungalow - extended to the rear to add two further bedrooms, an ensuite bathroom, rear hallway, and a lovely little morning/sunroom. In all, this all-on-the-level house provides two public rooms, three double bedrooms, a galley style kitchen off which is the charming morning/sunroom extension, large main bathroom (five-piece), superb new (2023) four-piece ensuite bathroom with a large shower enclosure and, finally, a rather handy laundry/utility room. As well as the entrance vestibule and hall, there is a rear hallway as part of the extension. The property’s attic is reached via a pull-down loft ladder, and this is floored and lined, has power, light and a radiator installed, two Velux windows and a wash hand basin.
A key feature of the house is its delightful rear garden as well as its location in the highly admired Douglas Park district – a locale adjacent to Hillfoot, and the railway station there, and but one mile from the heart of Bearsden, Bearsden Cross. The rear garden is fully enclosed and has been landscaped to include a lovely, raised sun terrace, which can be accessed not only from the garden, but also via the patio doors from both the main bedroom and the rear hallway (see floor plan). Trained along the wall of the house, at the terrace, is a glorious blue Wisteria.
The property has been proudly owned by our client for some 35 years and it has been a much loved and well-maintained home. Only a desire to downsize now prompts the move.
Whilst much has been improved, there are still some areas where buyers may see an opportunity to upgrade/renew and add value – the kitchen has a range of 1970s/1980s units and the main bathroom (a large room, given that it would have been a bedroom originally) has a suite from the 1990s. As detailed earlier, the bathroom ensuite to the main bedroom was only renewed this year (2023).
Central heating is mains gas with a modern Baxi Duo-Tec combination boiler (located in a handy subfloor cellar space). All windows are double glazed and feature white framed uPVC units, as are all external doors (storm doors to vestibule, both patio doors, morning/sunroom (back door).
As a property it should appeal to couples, perhaps particularly downsizers, with its all-on-the-level arrangement and to families as well, given its three bedrooms (school catchment is Bearsden Primary and Bearsden Academy).
Accommodation
• Vestibule – double glazed storm doors provide access to entrance vestibule from which a uPVC double glazed inner door opens to the hall.
• Hall – this is T-shaped and from here there is a hatch with loft ladder to the attic.
• Lounge – set to the front of the house and with a wide three-framed window. A marble fireplace is the focal point of the room.
• Dining Room – this has a window overlooking the lovely rear garden. It forms a connection between the original house and the main rear extension.
• Kitchen – galley style in arrangement and with the older units and Formica worktops. The appliances of cooker (with gas hob), dishwasher, and fridge/freezer will be included in the sale. Window to the east side of the house to capture the morning sun.
• Morning/Sunroom – off the kitchen, this is a charming little room with a triple aspect (windows east, north, and west) plus a double-glazed back door.
• Laundry/Utility Room – originally the bathroom, this has been made into a useful little laundry room with modern flush fronted units.
• Bedroom 2 – this is to the front of the house and was the dining room originally. As with the lounge, it has a wide three framed window to the front. Suite of fitted bedroom furniture including wardrobes.
• Bathroom – a big room (was a bedroom originally) featuring a five-piece champagne coloured suite including a ‘spa bath’ and a standard size shower enclosure with thermostatic shower. All tiled.
• Rear Hallway – off the dining room, this is in the rear extension and accesses bedrooms 1 and 3 and the ensuite. As detailed earlier, it has a set of patio doors to the sun terrace.
• Bedroom 1 – a fine room with patio doors (to the east) opening to the sun terrace again.
• Ensuite Bathroom – installed only this year and superbly done. There is a free standing ‘tub bath’ plus an oversized shower enclosure with another thermostatic shower, this time with both deluge and hand showerheads. Fully tiled, it is a really lovely space. Chrome towel radiator.
• Bedroom 3 – another lovely double bedroom with a front facing (south) window. Fitted wardrobe space with sliding mirrored doors.
• Attic – as detailed earlier, this is floored and lined (carpeted), has a wash hand basin, radiator, power, light and two Velux windows, the rear one of which provides a fine view towards the Campsie Fells.
Garden
To the front there is a rendered garden wall with a mature privet hedge above. There is a central gate and path leading to the front door and, separately, driveway gates opening to a side driveway that can take up to two cars. There are two front lawns with rose borders and rose bushes trained up the front wall of the house. The side garden to the east has a stone slab pathway and two shrub/rockery beds. Providing screening here is a well-trimmed and mature privet hedge and there is a rear side gate to access the rear garden. At the side of the house is a water tap and a door to the property’s very useful subfloor cellar space (boiler located here).
The rear garden is just a delight and extremely private. It is all enclosed by the house and high hedges, which are well trimmed and maintained. It has been landscaped to include planted beds and rose borders, a lawn, and the delightful, raised, sun terrace with its easterly aspect and its fabulous blue Wisteria. There is a timber garden shed and an aluminium framed greenhouse.
SITUATION
The property is in a very popular area nearby Hillfoot and the railway station to be found there, and less than a mile from Bearsden Cross. School catchment is Bearsden Primary and Bearsden Academy, with Bearsden also home to private nurseries and the Bearsden Early Years Learning Centre, St Nicholas Primary, and The High School of Glasgow Junior School.
Bearsden remains one of Glasgow’s, if not the West of Scotland’s, foremost residential districts and truly is a wonderful place to live with great local facilities, shops, and ready access to some glorious countryside.
