House For Sale £368,000
Enjoying a fantastic location, only a short level walk from the centre of Helensburgh and close to the waters of the Firth of Clyde, this distinctive modern detached family home is impeccably presented throughout. The property dates back to the early 1970s and over the past few years a comprehensive programme of refurbishment has been carried out by the current owner. The property displays an impeccable contemporary exterior and interior and it has been cleverly remodelled internally, with the addition of an ensuite shower room off the master bedroom and a downstairs shower room. The house sits in glorious gardens that are private, sheltered and beautifully laid out, both to the front and rear.
On entering the gardens from the front, twin wrought iron gates open into a lovely low maintenance resin driveway for parking and gives access to what was the original garage which has now been turned into to an extensive and substantial storage area. There are gravelled and bedded areas to the front with refurbished walls to the front and side providing screening and with mature trees and bushes adding another layer of privacy. A pathway leads from the front of the property around to the back garden which is a beautiful enclosed space that is laid out all on the level, with large patio areas, lawns, well stocked flower and shrub beds. At the far end, a gravelled sitting area features a pergola, timber shed and timber summer house. The gardens are enclosed by high stone walls on two sides and are perfect for entertaining and for children and pets to play in safety.
Moving on to the interior, the large, bright and welcoming reception hall features a beautifully tiled floor and a staircase with contemporary balustrade. To one side of the hall, a door gives access to an impressive and very spacious open plan lounge and dining room which has windows to the front, side and rear of the house providing great natural light. Beautifully presented with a timber floor and ceiling coving, this room is more than large enough to accommodate a sizeable three piece suite and dining table and chairs. There is access at one end of the room in to the kitchen. The kitchen is located to the rear of the house and enjoys lovely views over the gardens. It has been completely refitted with contemporary wall mounted and counter level units along with high end modern appliances that include a double oven, gas hob, extractor hood and a switch with plumbing in place for a dishwasher if required. There is a door out to the gardens and a further doorway leads through into an impressive utility area which is fitted out in the same style as the kitchen and again provides good storage units, plumbing for a washing machine and space for a tumble dryer. A further door off the utility leads to the storage room, which was once the garage. Two windows overlook the gardens at the rear. Finally, off the reception hall is a beautifully formed downstairs shower room that features a tiled floor, vanity wash hand basin, wc and large shower enclosure with glazed screens. There is a wall mounted mirror with back lighting.
Moving on to the upstairs accommodation, the landing gives access to each of the bedrooms, with the master bedroom stretching the length of the house, being a lovely bright double room with picture window to the front and with two smaller windows on either side of this. There is a beautiful ensuite shower room that features a shower enclosure, vanity wash hand basin and wc. Again there is a wall mounted mirror with integrated lighting. The second bedroom is an equally impressive double room, again is to the front of the house with large picture window and this room has a built-in cupboard. There are two further double bedrooms, one to the rear and one to the side, again both of which are sizeable double rooms. Lastly, the family bathroom has a separate bath, walk-in shower with glazed screens, vanity wash hand basin and wc. The property is beautifully presented as mentioned with tasteful décor throughout, good quality carpets and floorcoverings, along with high performance double glazed windows and a modern gas fired central heating system. There is modern lighting throughout the house.
The centre of Helensburgh is just a short level walk away and it provides a wide selection of shops and supermarkets, bars, restaurants and cafes. The picturesque promenade enjoying views over the Firth of Clyde is just a few yards along the road and Helensburgh also provides a wide selection of other amenities that include primary and secondary schools, train stations with services to Glasgow and Edinburgh and even London.
