**closing date Friday 5th January @3PM** Located in the much sought after west
side of Helensburgh, close to the town centre, this substantial Cala built
detached villa is one of only three that were constructed approximately twenty
years ago. The house is finished to an impeccable standard that is synonymous
with this well respected house builder and it sits in an impressive, large,
sheltered and beautifully presented garden with the house being set well back
from the road offering a great deal of privacy and seclusion.
The house itself extends to over 3000 square feet over its two floors, with
exceptionally spacious rooms throughout, a versatile layout which is perfect
for family life and with lovely aspects to the front and rear across the
garden grounds.
Twin wrought iron gates provide entry in to the gardens where a monoblock
paved driveway provides parking for several cars and sweeps up to a stand
alone three car garage block in front of the house. The garage has power and
light installed and electrically controlled doors. A high stone wall with
hedging provides privacy from the street and on either side of the driveway
are lawned areas and a path leads from the drive up to the front door of the
house. There is also access around either side of the property to the
extensive rear gardens that are completely enclosed, perfect for entertaining
and for children to play in safety and feature a large decked terrace and
lawns.
On entering the house from the front, an arched portico leads into an outer
vestibule where in turn twin timber/glazed panel doors open in to a grand
reception hall which has a staircase ascending to the upper floor
accommodation. Under the stairs there is a built - in cupboard. Off the hall to
one side is a cloakroom area and downstairs wc and adjacent to this there is
further built - in storage. The main formal lounge to the front of the property
features a large walk - in bay window overlooking the gardens and at its focal
point is a beautiful fire surround with stone hearth and with wood burning
stove in the centre. There is an additional window to the side of the room
providing great natural light and opposite this is a recessed display alcove
on the other wall. On the other side of the reception hall, also with a window
to the front, is a well proportioned home office which is currently used as an
exercise room, but this could be an additional bedroom if required. To the
rear of the lounge is a comfortable family room which has a window to one side
and double doors opening through into a beautiful garden room at the rear of
the house that opens out to the gardens themselves. There is also a door from
the family room in to the formal dining room. The spacious dining room is
located in between the kitchen and family room and is a great formal dining
space with windows overlooking the back gardens. Moving through to the
kitchen, it is beautifully equipped and finished and features extensive wall
mounted and counter level units, great work surface space and a large window
formation overlooking the gardens. Newly fitted modern appliances include a
high end electric oven and built - in microwave, gas hob with extractor hood
over and with a built - in dishwasher and fridge/freezer. Adjacent to the
kitchen is a very welcome utility/laundry room which has a sizeable built - in
cupboard, plumbing for automatic washing machine, a sink unit and a door
leading out to the side of the house.
Moving to the upper accommodation, the large galleried landing is
exceptionally long and wide and has double doors open out to a sunny, west
facing balcony that overlooks the front gardens. To the front of the house is
the master bedroom which is a large double room with walk in bay window and
adjacent to this is a spacious dressing room area with built - in wardrobes on
either side and beyond this access to a well fitted and spacious ensuite which
has a bath, separate shower, twin vanity basins, wc and bidet. The main guest
bedroom also has a window to the front of the house, built - in wardrobes and
its own ensuite shower room. To the rear of the house are three further double
bedrooms (all with built - in wardrobes) and with views over the back gardens.
The main family bathroom features a bath, separate shower, wash hand basin and
wc. The house benefits from great storage throughout and is warmed by a modern
and effective system of gas fired central heating with fully double glazed
windows in all the rooms.
As mentioned, the property enjoys a fantastic location on the west side of
town, amidst a selection of established and substantial homes. The centre of
Helensburgh is just a short walk away and provides a wide selection of shops,
supermarkets, bars, restaurants, cafes and delicatessens along with a post
office, banks and Helensburgh Central train station with services to Glasgow
and Edinburgh. The nearby Lomond School is within a short walk and provides
private education facilities and Helensburgh is home to good primary schools
and a state secondary school (Hermitage Academy). Helensburgh provides great
leisure facilities in and around the town with numerous sports clubs, the
newly built leisure complex on the pier (with swimming pool and gym
facilities) and with great sailing on the Clyde and the nearby Gareloch. The
iconic shores of Loch Lomond are just a short drive away and some of
Scotland’s most spectacular scenery can be found within five to ten minutes’
drive. Glasgow is within easy commuting distance and the international airport
can be reached via the A82, Erskine Bridge and M8 motorway. EPC Band - C.
