Forming a substantial part of a delightful Victorian mansion house, laid out
over the ground and lower ground floors of the building, this impressive
conversion extends to over 2500 square feet. The building itself dates back to
the mid 1800s and is a full of character and charm and being category B listed
is of historic and architectural interest. From its elevated position
overlooking the Gare Loch, The Gables is approached by a long gravelled
driveway that leads up to a sizeable parking area to the side of the house.
From here there is access to the main door of the property which is at the
rear of the building. A gate opens in to a courtyard entrance area which is
enclosed by a stone wall to one side and timber fence adjacent to the parking
area.
On entering the property, a welcoming reception hall and adjoining hallways
give access to each of the rooms on the ground floor. The main drawing room to
the front of the house is a spectacular bay windowed formal public room with
views over the gardens and the loch and it features a beautiful period fire
surround (with gas fired stove), intact decorative cornicing and with a
further large window to the side providing additional natural light. There is
a second main public room which is a great family space, with window to the
front and side facing bay window. Again, this room features a period fire
surround with open fire. The modern refitted kitchen is a fantastic feature of
this home, with well fitted wall and base units and a range of appliances
built - in. The master bedroom to the rear of the property, includes a fully
tiled ensuite shower room. There are two further double bedrooms on this level
(one featuring a front facing bay window) and a modern family bathroom. From
the hallway off the reception hall, a door with stairs lead down to the lower
level which has two additional double bedrooms along with a well proportioned
and very useful games room, a further shower room, utility area and
cellar/store. The property is warmed by a system of gas fired central heating.
The property enjoys its own private garden space which is located adjacent to
the main entrance (as already mentioned). In addition, the gardens to the
north side of the building are private and feature gravelled and lawned areas
and a raised slabbed patio sitting area. The garden here is enclosed by timber
fencing to the front and beyond the fence there is a further slabbed and
gravelled sitting area with views over the Gareloch and enjoying afternoon and
evening sunshine.
Shandon is located on the shores of the Gareloch and is only a short distance
by car or bus from the larger town of Helensburgh where a wide selection of
amenities can be found. These include a selection of shops, supermarkets,
bars, restaurants, and cafes, along with schools (both state and independent).
Helensburgh and the surrounding area also provides great leisure facilities
with sailing on the river Clyde and the Gare Loch itself. Helensburgh has
train stations serving Glasgow, Edinburgh, the West Highlands and even London.
Loch Lomond is only a short distance away and provides world class leisure
facilities and accommodation and is home to the renowned Loch Lomond Golf Club
and the Cameron Club Golf Club and Spa. Glasgow is also within easy commuting
distance by car and can be reached in around forth five minutes minutes and
