3 bedroom apartment

Lagarie House dates back to 1901 and was designed by the renowned architect, A.N. Paterson. The building was subsequently converted into four flats in the 1980’s. Lagarie is set amidst picturesque garden grounds that are entered from Torwoodhill Road. With a sweeping communal driveway that leads to the rear of the building. There are adequate parking spaces for all the flats. The garden grounds have large expanses of lawn, rhododendrons and shrubs providing an abundance of seasonal colour which are all maintained by the owners of the building which is self factored. Flat 3 is located on the first floor with access at the rear of the building which has a security controlled entry system. The door here opens into a stunning main entrance hall with its attractive timber staircase ascending to the upper landing. The hallway displays oak panelling and a large stained glass window which provides natural light. From the upper landing there is access to the flat itself. The flat is laid out over two floors and offers extremely generous accommodation with well-proportioned rooms featuring attractive period details and some exceptional views across the grounds and over to the Firth of Clyde and the Rosneath Peninsula. The long reception hall, with original arches and arched doorways, gives access to a sizeable lounge with new carpeting. At the other end of the hall there is a formal dining room with feature fireplace and large, picture windows. Adjacent to the dining room is a modern kitchen with breakfast bar and complete with a range of appliances. There is access also on this floor to a shower room with adjoining laundry room. From the hall a spiral staircase leads to the upper floor accommodation. The large master bedroom has extensive built-in wardrobes and cupboards and has access to its own balcony which extends around the property on three sides, taking in panoramic views of the gardens and the Gare Loch. There are two further double bedrooms on this floor along with a family bathroom and separate W.C. with adjacent built-in linen cupboard. Recent works include the repainting of all internal woodwork and radiators.
