5 bedroom detached house

Dating back to the turn of the 20th Century, Moraig is a spectacular traditional detached family residence, located in one of Helensburgh’s most sought after locations on the west side of town. Being of significant architectural note and historic interest, the property has a category B listing and is a delightful family home that extends to over 3100 square feet in total. The house enjoys almost complete privacy from its neighbours, being set in mature, beautifully presented gardens and yet the centre of Helensburgh is just a short walk away and provides a wide selection of amenities. Rowallan Street links Millig Street and Queen Street and is home to only a handful of homes and is within the conservation area.

On entering the garden grounds, a gravelled driveway provides parking to the side and rear of the house and gives access to a substantial garage (with electric door). Further gravelled paths lead to the main entrance to the house and around either side. The outer vestibule leads in to a grand reception hall with feature staircase to the upper floor accommodation. Beneath the stairs is a useful downstairs cloakroom/wc compartment. To the front of the house, a spectacular bay windowed lounge is at the focal point of the home and features a delightful wood burning stove in a period fire surround and with lovely views across the south facing gardens. Adjacent to the lounge is an equally impressive formal dining room, again with views over the gardens to the front and side and also with a wood burning stove. Behind the dining room is a sizeable, stylish and well equipped modern kitchen. The kitchen has plenty of space for a dining table and chairs and features a large AGA range cooker and central island unit/breakfast bar. There are views from here to the side of the house and access to a rear hallway behind. Off the hall, is a sizeable utility room and there is a secondary staircase from the hall leading upstairs. At the very rear of the property, a beautiful sun lounge/garden room can be found, again taking in views across the sunny gardens to the side with a beautiful glazed add on with direct access out. Finally on the ground floor is a large study which could be an additional sitting room if required and this room enjoys windows to the side.
Moving to the upstairs accommodation, an upper landing has a built-in cupboard and gives access to the large master bedroom which has windows to the rear of the house and enjoys a luxuriously appointed ensuite bathroom with bath and separate shower. There are three further double bedrooms accessed from the main landing, all of which are good sized double rooms and two of them enjoying south facing aspects across the gardens. There is, in addition, a beautifully refitted contemporary shower room with walk-in shower. From bedroom three, an internal door leads through to an additional bedroom which can also be accessed from the secondary staircase and can therefore be self contained with its own ensuite bathroom. Adjacent to this bedroom is a wc and deep store cupboard. The property is beautifully presented and features many delightful period features, yet has a modern high end fitted specification. The house is warmed by a system of gas fired central heating and the windows are a combination of single glazed and double glazed units.
The gardens that surround the property are beautiful, thoughtfully planned and laid out. They offer numerous different areas to enjoy a very quiet and peaceful setting. There are large lawns that wrap around the front and side with colourful, mature flower and shrub beds and with trees featuring throughout the grounds. To the rear is the garage as mentioned and all of the gardens enjoy a high degree of privacy with hedging, fencing and trees on the periphery.
