3 bed Flat For Sale £428,000
Originally built as a private residence in 1860 and extended by celebrated Scottish architect William Leiper, Braeholm is an imposing stone built B-listed mansion house that sits in a quiet and well established part of Helensburgh, screened from its neighbours by mature trees on either side. The building has had several changes of use over the years. Recently it was a maternity hospital, then a residential facility and community support centre for Aggie Weston’s Royal Sailors Mission. Converted by award winning developers Panacea within the last five years, Braeholm is one of the most striking buildings in town and arguably one of the finest developments to be found in Helensburgh. It consists of just twelve, completely individual apartments and Flat E is arguably the jewel in the crown, extending to an impressive 1840 square feet, finished to an exceptional standard and beautifully presented throughout.. From its first floor position, large windows in the stunning 28 foot long lounge, master bedroom and kitchen take in southerly views over the extensive gardens in front of the building towards the Firth of Clyde. Providing welcome outdoor space is a decked sun terrace/balcony that can be accessed from the kitchen or lounge...perfect for alfresco dining and relaxing. There is also a loft area above the kitchen which could be fully developed into an office/den.
The communal entrance into Braeholm is stylish, plush and welcoming, with beautifully carpeted floors and panelled walls. A staircase ascends up to the apartment. On entering the apartment, the large reception hall leads to the lounge and kitchen and there is a wc compartment off. A few stairs descend to the bedroom accommodation and bathroom. The stunning formal lounge is undoubtedly the centrepiece of the property, with a large walk-in bay window formation taking in south facing views over the grounds and over Helensburgh to the Firth of Clyde. The bright, spacious and bespoke, high end Porcelanosa kitchen is fully fitted and equipped with Siemens appliances and offers plenty of space for dining and there is a door leading out to the terrace. It also has a built-in cupboard. The master bedroom is to the front and enjoys great views and it is a large double room with its own ensuite shower room by Porcelanosa. The two other bedrooms are again both doubles and one of them has an ensuite Porcelanosa shower room. Finally, the beautiful main bathroom again is by Porcelanosa. The apartment is warmed by a modern and effective system of gas fired central heating.
From East Montrose Street, Braeholm is accessed through the original gateposts that open to beautiful common gardens and up a grand sweeping driveway to private parking at the side of the building (two dedicated spaces for the property).
