5 bedroom detached house

Glen Drive is located in the upper west side of Helensburgh, an established and much sought after address in the town. From its elevated position, this large detached family home affords magnificent views across the surrounding area towards rolling hills above Helensburgh and also the lovely countryside on the Rosneath Peninsula across the Firth of Clyde.

The house itself is impeccably presented and offers extensive family accommodation that extends to almost 2000 square feet on two levels. There is a large integral two car garage beneath the property with an electrically operated up and over door, with power and light laid on. The garage is also equipped with a dedicated electric vehicle charging unit. The house sits in lovely gardens which to the front feature lawned areas on either side, with bedded borders and with steps ascending from the large driveway which can accommodate numerous cars. There is access around the side of the property to the gardens at the rear which are completely enclosed, private and great for entertaining, with a large timber decked area, a lawn, retaining walls and bedded borders featuring lighting, an ornamental pond and fountain. To one side of the garden is a substantial permanent aluminium gazebo, thoughtfully positioned to benefit from the evening sun, with built in light/infrared heater, great for dining having space beneath for a large table and chairs.

On entering the property, the large, wide and welcoming reception hall features a solid timber floor and gives access to each of the rooms on the ground floor level. There is an impressive lounge to the front, with large picture window taking in the views and is a fantastic room for entertaining. On the other side of the hall is an additional sitting room/family room (which could be used as a bedroom if required). To the rear of this is a beautifully refitted modern breakfasting kitchen, which has patio doors leading out to the gardens (with remote controlled electric blind), featuring corian worktops, a breakfast bar with integrated mixed induction and gas hob (extractor hood over), motorised power socket and a range of high end appliances that include two multifunction ovens, two warming drawers, bean to cup coffee machine, washing machine/dryer and dishwasher along with an integrated fridge/freezer and separate built-in wine cooler. A ceiling mounted speaker and Amazon Echo allow access to internet and Bluetooth based music, whilst voice and app controlled Philips Hue lighting control is enabled throughout the house.

The dining room can be found behind the lounge via a passageway off the main hall, which again is an impressive space with patio doors out to the garden. Adjacent to this is a refitted downstairs shower room which is contemporary in its design having been beautifully refitted and retiled, with vanity wash hand basin and wc along with a walk-in shower and illuminated mirror.

Moving onto the upstairs accommodation, on the half landing there is a window to the rear garden, whilst the four bedrooms lead off the upper floor landing with access to a built-in storage / airing cupboard with hanging rails. The master bedroom is a really large double room with fantastic views to the front and it has two sets of built-in wardrobes on one wall and a further set on the back wall. It enjoys its own luxuriously appointed ensuite shower room which again has been refitted with a stylish floating double vanity wash hand basin with illuminated mirror above, shower enclosure and wc. Adjacent to the master bedroom is the refitted family bathroom which features a spa bath, a beautifully refitted vanity wash hand basin with illuminated mirror above, and wc. There are three further double bedrooms, all of which face the front and benefit from the wonderful views; two of these bedrooms feature built in dressing table lighting, and at the end of the hall is a useful boxroom/study, currently used as a music studio. The house is fully double glazed and warmed by gas fired central heating, again app controlled and fully programmable.

Glen Drive is a quiet area to live, being a cul-de-sac home to substantial detached family homes and yet within easy reach of the town centre where a wide selection of amenities can be found. These include shops and supermarkets, bars, restaurants, cafes and delicatessens. Helensburgh provides good schooling, both at primary and secondary level and the nearby Lomond School offers private education facilities. There are three train stations in Helensburgh, one of which is in the town centre (Helensburgh Central) with services to Glasgow and Edinburgh and Helensburgh Upper station which is just around the corner, with services up the west coast and even a sleeper to London. The area is perfect for those who enjoy the outdoor life with great leisure facilities and sailing on the Clyde and the Gare Loch along with the newly built Helensburgh Leisure Complex (with swimming pool and gym facilities) on the pier.
