2 bedroom apartment

Occupying a first floor position, this exceptional apartment has been comprehensively upgraded and modernised and offers bright, spacious and immaculately presented accommodation. The flat takes in magnificent southerly views over Helensburgh’s promenade and across the Firth of Clyde and it enjoys its own private, enclosed garden grounds to the rear (with direct access from the kitchen). The flat is within a most attractive stone built Victorian building that dates back to the 1870s and was originally built by, and for, the Bank of Scotland. In 1993 the property was listed as a category ‘B’ building, being of architectural note and historic interest.

On entering the building, an outer vestibule opens into a stunning feature reception hall with beautiful tiled flooring and with a large picture window on the half landing. The reception area is actually owned by the property. From the hall, a staircase ascends to the first floor where there is a door into the flat itself. On entering the flat, the hall offers a built-in store cupboard and gives access to each of the rooms. The stunning bay windowed lounge at the front takes in uninterrupted views over the water and has a timber fire surround. Also to the front, is the master bedroom which is a large double room with built-in mirrored wardrobes. There are two large south windows overlooking the water and unusually for a period property of this era, the bedroom enjoys a delightful ensuite shower room, with a large walk-in shower enclosure, vanity wash hand basin and wc. The second bedroom is to the rear (overlooking the gardens) and the main bathroom features a bath (with shower attachment), wc and wash hand basin. Also to the rear of the flat is the modern refitted kitchen that comes with extensive wall and base units complimented by good work surface space and with a range of inbuilt appliances that include an oven, microwave, gas hob and hood, dishwasher and new washing machine. The kitchen can easily accommodate a table and chairs and a French door opens out to the rear where a spiral staircase leads down to the flat’s private garden area. The garden is fully enclosed by stone walls and is mainly lawned with gravelled paths. The flat is warmed a modern system of gas fired central heating and is fully double glazed.

The location is perfect, within easy walking distance of a wide selection of amenities found within the town. These include shops and supermarkets, bars, restaurants, cafes and delicatessens, with Helensburgh Central train station just around the corner and providing regular services to Glasgow and Edinburgh. The town has good schools (both primary and secondary), along with a wide selection of leisure facilities. The promenade is lovely for enjoying a walk and taking in the views and the newly built leisure complex on Helensburgh Pier has a swimming pool and gym facilities. Helensburgh is located close to Loch Lomond and only a forty minute drive from the centre of Glasgow. EPC Band - D.
