On the west side of town and enjoying one of Helensburgh’s most desirable addresses, this characterful, immaculately presented traditional detached stone built Edwardian villa sits in stunning garden grounds. The house itself has been substantially upgraded, modernised and improved by the current owners over the past several years and combines beautiful period features together with a high end modern specification throughout.
The gardens that surround the house offer great space for family life and have been zoned to support outdoor living and entertaining throughout the seasons. The front garden is bounded by a stone wall from the road, including a lawn surrounded by a variety of mature shrubs, plants and trees, in addition to two paved areas, one supporting a beautiful wooden pergola with climbing roses. There is a sizeable gravelled driveway and parking area to the side and front of the property with an EV Charging point. This space is large enough to accommodate numerous cars and boats/caravan if required.
The gardens to the rear have views onto woodland and are completely enclosed by mature hedging. They incorporate a central lawn, levels which include two decked areas, a decorative gravel terrace, and an artificial lawn currently used for golf practice. In one corner there is a large timber built barbecue hut featuring a central charcoal stove with all-round seating, installed with electricity, lighting and powered extractor, making this is a fantastic cosy space to sit and enjoy cold winter evenings. Adjacent to this is a stylish timber-clad wood fired hot tub, opposite a patio accommodating a fitted outdoor kitchen and pizza oven. The former brick built garage has been transformed into a music studio which doubles as a home office incorporating power and lighting, with French windows to the front maximising daylight. To the rear of the studio is attached a garden tool-shed, also with power and lighting installed.
Opposite the music studio is a tastefully converted out-house building used as a home office and crafting studio, accessed externally near the back door. Glazing on three sides draws in abundant natural light, in addition to the electric lighting. This also has installed electric points.
The timber-clad outdoor gym, has electric heating, lighting, and power points. Fully insulated with commercial gym flooring, at 10ft x 18ft it provides an excellent space for most gym work. Next to the gym and with the same footprint sits a recently installed timber shed which is ideal as a storage facility or workshop.
The interior of the property extends to almost 3000 square feet over its two floors. The layout is well suited for family living, with generously proportioned rooms. There is an outer vestibule leading in to a grand reception hall where a staircase ascends to the upper landing. From the hall there is access to the two impressive main public rooms at the front of the house. The main drawing room features a large bay window, smaller side window and a wood burning stove with timber fire surround. The family room on the other side of the hall has a beautiful wood and copper fire surround and a living flame gas fire with copper canopy and fender in the Arts & Crafts style. Both of these rooms have original oak parquet flooring. The third main public room has windows to the side of the house and is a well-proportioned dining room with Claygate fireplace and an open fire.
A large, bright open plan breakfasting/dining kitchen is situated to the rear of the house which has been completely refitted with contemporary units, granite worktops and a central island unit. It features a range cooker and various other built in appliances. Large French doors lead into a sizeable conservatory which takes in views over the gardens and adds additional dining/living space. A conservatory door opens out on to the gardens. Finally on the ground floor there is a modern refitted shower room with wc compartment off and to the rear of the reception hall, a further hallway that gives access to an additional wc compartment, a large utility room and a deep cupboard housing the central heating boiler. From this part of the hall there is also access out to the gardens.
Moving on to the upstairs accommodation, there are five very well proportioned bedrooms, with the sizeable master bedroom featuring a bay window overlooking the front gardens, adjacent to which is the smallest of the five bedrooms which is still a very well proportioned double room. This could potentially be converted into an ensuite serving the master bedroom. The remaining bedrooms are all double sized rooms, one to the front and two to the rear. There is a beautiful refitted family bathroom on this level, with four piece suite complemented by full ceramic tiling. There is a free-standing claw foot bath and separate shower enclosure.
The house is warmed by a system of gas fired central heating and all the windows have been replaced with high performance double glazed sash and case style windows which perfectly complement the style and age of the property.The loft hatch houses a ladder providing easy access to a large attic which is partially floored and has electric lighting.
Helensburgh offers fantastic amenities and is a delightful seaside town located on the shores of the Firth of Clyde. The town centre and seafront have recently seen extensive upgrading and investment with a main square, promenade and with numerous shops, supermarkets, bars, restaurants and delicatessens found within the town centre. The newly built leisure complex on the pier features a pool and gym. There are banks, a post office and main train station also within the town centre with services from Helensburgh Central to Glasgow and Edinburgh.
Helensburgh provides good schooling both at primary and secondary level. Lomond School, only a few hundred yards away from the house, is an independent school which enjoys an excellent reputation across the West of Scotland.
Glasgow is within commuting distance and Glasgow international airport is easily accessible via the Erskine Bridge. The iconic shores of Loch Lomond are only ten to fifteen minutes’ drive away and some of Scotland's most spectacular scenery can be experienced with just a short drive. EPC Band - C.
