Located in the prestigious upper west side of Helensburgh and enjoying a large, mature corner plot at the corner of Kennedy Drive and Sinclair Street, this absolutely delightful traditional stone built semi-detached villa dates back to around the turn of the 20th century.

One of only two semis of its type within the area, this immensely characterful family home offers exceptional accommodation of over 2700 square feet. The layout is extremely versatile and well proportioned and it features a pleasant combination of delightful period features and a modern high end specification throughout. The house combines great family rooms along with large bedrooms (all with period style fireplaces) and there is a fully self contained two storey annexe to the rear which is perfect for those looking for a granny flat/teenager's suite accommodation or as a lucrative AirBnB property.

On entering the gardens from Sinclair Street, a large timber gate opens into a gravelled driveway and parking area to the front and side of the house. There is a large expanse of lawn to the side interspersed with a variety of mature trees and bushes, with well trimmed hedging on the periphery providing privacy and screening. Moving round to the rear of the gardens, there are further lawned areas and there is access from Kennedy Drive to a single car timber built garage to the side. In addition, there are three in number timber sheds.

On entering the property from the driveway at the side, a covered outer vestibule with glazed timber panels looks over the gardens and from here a solid timber door opens into an outer vestibule which in turn leads through to a grand reception hall where a staircase ascends to the upper landing. There is a downstairs cloakroom/wc under the stairs with a built-in cupboard. To the front of the house, a beautiful bay windowed main drawing room features a period style fireplace with open fire. There is an alcove to one side and the room also features solid timber flooring and attractive period details. Next to the main drawing room is a secondary public room which could be used as a living cum dining room and again it features a period fireplace with a living flame gas fire and a three framed window to the front. To the rear of this is an additional sitting room which could be integrated into the annexe at the far rear of the house and be part of the granny/teenager suite/Air BnB property, if required. There is a lovely bright breakfasting/dining sized kitchen to the rear of the house with window overlooking the gardens and it comes complete with a range cooker and integrated dishwasher. There is a door out to a recently built modern and fully double glazed conservatory which opens out onto the gardens. Adjacent to the kitchen is a useful utility room.
From the rear sitting room, a door leads through to a kitchenette which is modern in its design with a range of appliances and from here, there is access into the main part of the annexe where there is a hall with understair storage, a downstairs bedroom and a modern shower room with three piece suite. A small staircase ascends to the upper landing where a further bedroom can be found.

Moving onto the upper floor of the main part of the house, the half landing features a stained glass window and the upper hall is large enough to accommodate a study desk and chair. There is access from here to four impressive bedrooms, all of which are good sized double rooms and each having their own individual fireplaces with original decorative tiled inserts and hearths. A “Jack & Jill” ensuite serves two of the bedrooms and it is modern with a three piece suite including shower enclosure, wc and vanity wash hand basin. The main family bathroom has a four piece suite with a bath, separate shower enclosure, wc and wash hand basin. The house is warmed by a system of gas fired central heating with two separate boilers (one serving the main house and the other serving the annexe) and all of the windows are replacement double glazed units.

Located in the upper west side of Helensburgh, the property is within easy reach of the town centre where a wide selection of shops and supermarkets can be found. Helensburgh Upper station is only a short walk from the house (services up the West Highland Line and to London) and Helensburgh Central train station offers regular services to Glasgow and Edinburgh. Helensburgh is perfect for those who enjoy the outdoor life, with great sporting clubs along with sailing on the Clyde and Gare Loch and with Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park only a short distance away. Some of Scotland's most spectacular scenery is only a minute's drive away. Glasgow is within easy commuting distance, as is the International Airport via the Erskine Bridge. Helensburgh also offers great schools (both state and private) with primary and secondary level education in the town. EPC Band - E.
