*CLOSING DATE TUESDAY 10TH OCTOBER @ 12 NOON* Dating back to 1873, “Dalfruin” is a substantial and distinctive stone built detached Victorian villa that sits in beautiful mature gardens. Located on the west side of Helensburgh in a well established and much admired conservation area, the property is close to the centre of town. The house has been granted B listed status, being of architectural note and of historic interest. The accommodation is laid out over two levels and extends to just over 2600 square feet in total. The layout is perfect for family living, combining spacious and bright public rooms with generously proportioned bedrooms on the upper floor. On entering, a wide reception hall features a grand staircase with timber balustrade to the upstairs. To the front of the house are two delightful main public rooms, with a lounge and formal dining room. These two rooms enjoy views over the garden grounds through large four framed windows (the lounge having an additional side window) and both rooms feature fire surrounds and lovely cornicework. Adjacent to the staircase there is a cloakroom area and this leads through to a shower room with wc and wash hand basin. From the shower room, there is access to a large storage cupboard. To the side/rear of the house is a study(which could be an additional sitting room) with a window looking onto the driveway. There is a large modern kitchen to the rear and it has a separate serving/pantry area. There are numerous wall and base units fitted, an inbuilt oven and hob, dishwasher and large worksurface areas. The kitchen is certainly large enough to accommodate a dining table and chairs. Off the kitchen is a rear hall that gives access out to the back gardens and from the hall a door opens in to a sizeable utility room which has a door out to the side of the house.
Moving on to the upper accommodation, on the half landing there is a family bathroom with a light coloured three piece suite (shower over bath). The upper landing is large and wide and is bathed in natural light from a circular cupola above. The landing gives access to four very well proportioned double bedrooms, two of which enjoy south facing aspects across the gardens. The master bedroom has a modern ensuite shower room with shower, wc and wash basin. The house is warmed by gas fired central heating and the windows are replacement double glazed units.
The property enjoys fabulous garden grounds that provide gravelled parking to the side/entrance of the property. From here a gate opens through to large south facing gardens to the front and this area enjoys sunshine throughout the day. There is a large lawned area, with numerous bedded areas and with mature trees throughout. There is access from the garden up the other side of the house to the utility room. There is a garden shed found here. The rear gardens that back onto West Montrose Street are completely enclosed by stone walls and again feature a lawn with plants, shrubs and trees on the periphery. There is a timber shed and access to an attached stone built garage that has an electrically operated door and has power and light installed.

West Montrose Street has long been regarded as one of the most sought after and popular addresses within Helensburgh, located on the west side of town yet only a short walk from the centre where a wide selection of shops and supermarkets can be found along with a number of bars, restaurants and cafés. Helensburgh Central train station offers regular and direct services to Glasgow and Edinburgh with Helensburgh Upper station providing a sleeper service to London. The area is well served by good primary and secondary schools (both state and private) and there are a number of excellent sporting clubs found within the town including rugby, cricket, tennis, bowling and golf.

Helensburgh is also regarded as a convenient commuter town to Glasgow which can be reached by car in around forty to forty five minutes.
