6 bedroom detached house

Broomfield Gardens is located in the picturesque village of Shandon, on the banks of the Gare Loch and within easy reach of the nearby town of Helensburgh. Home to only a small number of large detached modern family homes, Broomfield Gardens is a delightful place to live and with number four enjoying arguably the pick of the plots within the development being on the shore side with magnificent views from the gardens and many of the rooms across the water. Extending to around 3000 square feet, this large family home is bright, well proportioned and beautifully presented and it offers a versatile layout over its two floors that includes an integral double garage (with separate store room), potential for a self-contained apartment upstairs and with a high specification throughout.

On entering the garden grounds, a sizeable monoblock paved driveway provides parking for numerous cars, with a large area of lawn adjacent to this. There is access around the side of the property on either side to the rear gardens which are a beautiful feature. There are large sweeping expanses of lawn here, along with a raised slabbed patio/terrace which takes in the views and enjoys all day long sunshine and some magnificent sunsets.

The interior of the property is entered from the front with an outer vestibule opening into the main reception hall which is split level and features a staircase to the upper accommodation. Off the hall is a study to the front and adjacent to this, a modern wc/cloakroom area. There is also built-in storage both adjacent to the study and underneath the stairs and a couple of steps lead down to the lower hall area where there is access through to the main formal lounge. This is a stunning room with bay windows to the front and rear and with a feature fireplace. There is access through to a separate and equally impressive formal dining room which has French doors leading out on to the patio. The sizeable dining sized kitchen is well fitted and equipped and again enjoys water views and off the kitchen is a spacious utility room which gives direct access in to the garage and has a door out to the gardens. A staircase from the utility room ascends to a large family room area which is open plan and off this there is a deep built-in cupboard and a large shower room. This space is certainly large enough to be converted into a self contained teenager’s suite/granny flat with enough room to add a kitchen in one corner and with enough room for a sitting area and bedroom space. French doors open on to a Juliet balcony taking in views over the Gareloch.

Moving back to the reception hall, the main staircase ascends to a large upper landing which in turn gives access to four bedrooms in this area of the house. The main master bedroom has built-in wardrobes, takes in views over the water and has an adjoining dressing room leading through into an ensuite shower room. There is a large guest bedroom with built-in wardrobes and its own ensuite shower room and the two remaining bedrooms are doubles, with one of them currently used as an upstairs sitting room with French doors opening onto a balcony with water views. The property enjoys gas fired central heating with modern double glazed windows throughout.

Broomfield Gardens enjoys a perfect location, taking in magnificent views across surrounding countryside and the Gare Loch. The property is also well placed for easy access to a range of local amenities that can be found in the adjoining village of Rhu. These include a highly regarded primary school, church and convenience store. Just beyond Rhu is the larger seaside town of Helensburgh which provides an even wider selection of amenities that include good shops and supermarkets, leisure facilities, bars, restaurants and cafes. There are great transport links in Helensburgh, with train stations providing services to Glasgow, Edinburgh and even a sleeper to London. The iconic shores of Loch Lomond are also within easy reach and provide stunning scenery and world class leisure facilities and accommodation. The nearby naval base at Faslane is a major employer in the area and is just a few minutes’ drive away to the north. Glasgow is also within easy commuting distance as is the international airport via the A82 and Erskine Bridge. EPC Band - C.
