4 bedroom detached house

Located on the lower west side of Helensburgh, Woodend Street is a quiet, almost traffic free address that joins West Montrose Street and West King Street. Home to only a small number of substantial homes, number one is a delightful modern detached family villa that has been comprehensibly modernised, upgraded, remodelled and improved by the current owners. The house has a good sized integral garage with up and over door to the front.

The property sits in stunning garden grounds that are perfect for entertaining. They are bounded by stone walls to the front (with twin wrought iron gates providing access). The grounds offer a great deal of privacy and seclusion on all sides, wrapping around both sides of the house and extending some way at the rear. They are level, beautifully planned and with the front featuring a large monoblock paved driveway and gravelled parking area for numerous cars and with enough space for boat/caravan storage if required. There is a lawn on one side. A large (composite) decked terrace at the front is a lovely place to sit for morning and afternoon sun. For afternoon and evening sun, the large back garden is perfect and it offers a large patio and gravelled sitting areas, two sheds, and extensive lawns. Mature hedging and trees provide screaming on the periphery.

Laid out over two floors the interior of the property is exceptional, being spacious, bright, beautifully laid out and great for family living. The large and welcoming reception hall features a dramatic staircase with galleried landing above and there is a bow window next to the front door. Off the hall is an impressive formal lounge which has a living flame gas fire to the focal wall and enjoys views across the front and side gardens through two large windows. New twin glazed doors lead from here through to the large dining/living kitchen which is spacious, modern and well fitted. At one end there is plenty of space for sofas and chairs (or a dining set-up) and the kitchen area is fitted with exceptional modern wall mounted and counter level units, a feature island and a range of high end appliances. Natural light is provided by windows to the side and rear overlooking the gardens and there is access from the kitchen through into a separate formal dining room which could be used as a lovely snug/family room. This room has patio doors leading out to the gardens and the terrace and a window to the side. Finally on the ground floor is a refitted modern wc/cloakroom compartment.

Moving on to the upstairs accommodation the galleried landing leads to four bedrooms, the two largest being at either end of the landing and both being impressive as the master and principal guest bedroom. They enjoy a number of windows providing an abundance of natural light. The spacious refitted modern family bathroom features a separate bath, shower, wc and wash hand basin. The décor throughout the property is tasteful and stylish, complemented by good quality carpets and floor coverings, double glazed windows and a modern and effective gas fired central heating system.

Perfectly positioned on the lower west side of town, the property is only a short walk from the centre of Helensburgh and the picturesque shore front with views over the Firth of Clyde. Helensburgh provides a wide selection of shops and supermarkets, along with bars, restaurants, delicatessens and cafes. There is a post office and banks found in the town centre as well as Helensburgh Central train station which offers services to Glasgow, Edinburgh and beyond.
