On the west side of town and enjoying one of Helensburgh’s most desirable
addresses, this characterful, immaculately presented traditional detached
stone built Edwardian villa sits in stunning garden grounds. The house itself
has been substantially upgraded, modernised and improved by the current owners
over the past several years and combines beautiful period features together
with a high end modern specification throughout.
The gardens that surround the house offer great space for family life and have
been zoned to support outdoor living and entertaining throughout the seasons.
The front garden is bounded by a stone wall from the road, including a lawn
surrounded by a variety of mature shrubs, plants and trees, in addition to two
paved areas, one supporting a beautiful wooden pergola with climbing roses.
There is a sizeable gravelled driveway and parking area to the side and front
of the property with an ev Charging point. This space is large enough to
accommodate numerous cars and boats/caravan if required.
The gardens to the rear have views onto woodland and are completely enclosed
by mature hedging. They incorporate a central lawn, levels which include two
decked areas, a decorative gravel terrace, and an artificial lawn currently
used for golf practice. In one corner there is a large timber built barbecue
hut featuring a central charcoal stove with all - round seating, installed with
electricity, lighting and powered extractor, making this is a fantastic cosy
space to sit and enjoy cold winter evenings. Adjacent to this is a stylish
timber - clad wood fired hot tub, opposite a patio accommodating a fitted
outdoor kitchen and pizza oven. The former brick built garage has been
transformed into a music studio which doubles as a home office incorporating
power and lighting, with French windows to the front maximising daylight. To
the rear of the studio is attached a garden tool - shed, also with power and
lighting installed.
Opposite the music studio is a tastefully converted out - house building used as
a home office and crafting studio, accessed externally near the back door.
Glazing on three sides draws in abundant natural light, in addition to the
electric lighting. This also has installed electric points.
The timber - clad outdoor gym, has electric heating, lighting, and power points.
Fully insulated with commercial gym flooring, at 10ft x 18ft it provides an
excellent space for most gym work. Next to the gym and with the same footprint
sits a recently installed timber shed which is ideal as a storage facility or
workshop.
The interior of the property extends to almost 3000 square feet over its two
floors. The layout is well suited for family living, with generously
proportioned rooms. There is an outer vestibule leading in to a grand
reception hall where a staircase ascends to the upper landing. From the hall
there is access to the two impressive main public rooms at the front of the
house. The main drawing room features a large bay window, smaller side window
and a wood burning stove with timber fire surround. The family room on the
other side of the hall has a beautiful wood and copper fire surround and a
living flame gas fire with copper canopy and fender in the Arts & Crafts
style. Both of these rooms have original oak parquet flooring. The third main
public room has windows to the side of the house and is a well - proportioned
dining room with Claygate fireplace and an open fire.
A large, bright open plan breakfasting/dining kitchen is situated to the rear
of the house which has been completely refitted with contemporary units,
granite worktops and a central island unit. It features a range cooker and
various other built in appliances. Large French doors lead into a sizeable
conservatory which takes in views over the gardens and adds additional
dining/living space. A conservatory door opens out on to the gardens. Finally
on the ground floor there is a modern refitted shower room with wc compartment
off and to the rear of the reception hall, a further hallway that gives access
to an additional wc compartment, a large utility room and a deep cupboard
housing the central heating boiler. From this part of the hall there is also
access out to the gardens.
Moving on to the upstairs accommodation, there are five very well proportioned
bedrooms, with the sizeable master bedroom featuring a bay window overlooking
the front gardens, adjacent to which is the smallest of the five bedrooms
which is still a very well proportioned double room. This could potentially be
converted into an ensuite serving the master bedroom. The remaining bedrooms
are all double sized rooms, one to the front and two to the rear. There is a
beautiful refitted family bathroom on this level, with four piece suite
complemented by full ceramic tiling. There is a free - standing claw foot bath
and separate shower enclosure.
The house is warmed by a system of gas fired central heating and all the
windows have been replaced with high performance double glazed sash and case
style windows which perfectly complement the style and age of the property. The
loft hatch houses a ladder providing easy access to a large attic which is
partially floored and has electric lighting.
Helensburgh offers fantastic amenities and is a delightful seaside town
located on the shores of the Firth of Clyde. The town centre and seafront have
recently seen extensive upgrading and investment with a main square, promenade
and with numerous shops, supermarkets, bars, restaurants and delicatessens
found within the town centre. The newly built leisure complex on the pier
features a pool and gym. There are banks, a post office and main train station
also within the town centre with services from Helensburgh Central to Glasgow
and Edinburgh.
Helensburgh provides good schooling both at primary and secondary level.
Lomond School, only a few hundred yards away from the house, is an independent
school which enjoys an excellent reputation across the West of Scotland.
Glasgow is within commuting distance and Glasgow international airport is
easily accessible via the Erskine Bridge. The iconic shores of Loch Lomond are
only ten to fifteen minutes’ drive away and some of Scotland's most
spectacular scenery can be experienced with just a short drive. EPC Band - C.
