3 bedroom duplex for sale

Dating back to 1907, Oxford Place is a delightful Edwardian building that sits in the heart of the picturesque village of Garelochhead. The building is home to just two highly individual apartments. Upper Oxford Place is a beautiful two storey conversion, formed over the first and second floors, with its own private entrance to the side of the building and taking in some amazing views over the waters of the Gareloch and the surrounding hills. The property also offers private parking to the front and comes with a lovely, private and enclosed garden. The current owners have greatly modernised and upgraded the property, which is now in exceptional condition, combining Edwardian character, a high end specification and stylish finishes that include a new kitchen and bathroom.

The exterior of the building is freshly painted and on entering the gardens from the parking area to the front, there is a monoblock paved patio, a large expanse of lawn and a number of colourful bedded areas all round the lawn. There is a large timber garden shed included in the sale and the gardens are completely enclosed by timber fencing, making it safe for children and pets.

A covered staircase at the side of the property leads up to the main door which opens into a bright, spacious and airy reception hall which is large enough to accommodate a dining table and chairs (as the photos show). There is a window to the front and a built-in cupboard. A staircase leads to the upper floor. Off the hall is a comfortable and cosy lounge with a corner bay window that takes in views over the village and the loch. At its focal point is a traditional fire surround and an open fire. There is a double bedroom on this level too and it enjoys some of the best views over the water from its large two framed window. The kitchen has undergone a complete refit and features contemporary shaker style units in a fashionable grey colour, with bespoke, custom made handles, a Belfast sink, extensive worksurfaces with attractive tiled splashbacks and comes complete with a gas range cooker, inbuilt dishwasher and washing machine. A window takes in water views. Next to the kitchen is the modern shower room, which again has been completely refitted. It has a walk-in shower with thermostatic shower, a smoked glass screen, vanity unit with wash hand basin and wc and a back-lit wall mirror, all complemented by stylish wall tiles. From the reception hall, a staircase ascends to the upper landing which has a built-in cupboard and in turn leads into two generously proportioned double bedrooms, with both enjoying lovely views of the loch. The apartment is warmed by a modern system of gas central heating and is fully double glazed (apart from one small side window in the upstairs bedroom).

The village of Garelochhead has fantastic local amenities, with a number of convenience stores, cafes, a primary school and health centre. The train station provides a sleeper service to London and services in the other direction up the west coast of Scotland to Oban and Fort William. A half-hourly bus service also runs through Garelochhead providing services to Helensburgh. The nearby Naval Base at Faslane is a large employer in the area and is only a couple of minutes’ drive away and the larger seaside town of Helensburgh is within a ten minute drive and provides a wider selection of amenities. These include a large number of shops and supermarkets, restaurants and cafes, along with good schooling, both at primary and secondary level. The area is synonymous for those who enjoy the outdoor life, with beautiful scenery all around and with Garelochhead being on the Three Lochs Way walking route, and with Loch Lomond and its iconic shores only a short drive away. In the other direction the Rest and Be Thankful allows travel up the west coast of Scotland and to the Highlands. Glasgow is also within easy commuting distance, as is Glasgow International Airport.
