5 bedroom detached house

A unique opportunity to acquire this striking piece of modernist architecture.

The architect-owner and his wife bought this site, including the original bungalow, around 20 years ago with the vision of creating this breathtaking family home, which extends to around 5,400 sqft, including the garage.

A testament to contemporary design and occupying a prime elevated location, the home offers flexible living accommodation easily adapted to specific tastes and needs.

Surrounded by substantial, mature grounds this exceptional home boasts a meticulously curated interior across three floors, with a magnificent roof terrace affording unparalleled views of the city, along with an outdoor spa and kitchen - perfect for al fresco dining in all weather.

The property blends traditional town house and modern sophisticated lifestyle living with its wonderful connection to private outdoor space and views stretching across the city and beyond.

As befits an architect designed home, the proportions and planning of every space, every feature and every detail have been meticulously considered and executed to the highest standard.

It features clean, simple lines that continue throughout creating a calm, serene environment.

Ground Floor Level: includes vestibule, double volume entrance hall, office, cloakroom and toilet, utility/laundry space, gym with access to outside, wine nook and storage.

First Floor: includes first-floor landing with views out through the double-height windows, while to the rear, there are further views through the yoga studio out to the yoga deck and beyond. This room could easily become an additional bedroom or playroom if further accommodation is required. Further accommodation on this level comprises: living room, guest cloakroom, and a hall giving access to the bedroom wing with four double bedrooms, all en-suite.

Bedrooms are designed to maximise both functionality and comfort with generous wardrobe storage, while the windows have been designed to capture views out to the garden, whilst the elevated position and planting ensure privacy.

Upper floor: this dramatic level unfolds after ascending the stairway to reveal spacious living, dining and kitchen areas as well as access to the breathtaking roof terrace, outdoor kitchen, and spa facilities.

The semi-open plan layout of the upper floor is designed with flexibility in mind and is divided into three distinct zones – kitchen, dining and living – all perfectly positioned to flood the space with light and open views.

Arguably the most delightful feature of this standout contemporary family home is the expansive private outdoor roof terrace.

This terrace is a spectacular space, with a fully equipped kitchen and spa facilities, including a cedar barrel hot tub, outdoor shower, sauna and hydration zone. Completely sheltered on all sides, with a long horizontal opening in the main elevation, capturing fantastic south westerly views through the tree canopies. With covered areas at either end the roof terrace provides a fantastic space for year-round use, in complete privacy.

At garden level there is a sizeable lawned area to the front, while to the rear, there is a sheltered paved sitting area with a fire pit and charming summerhouse.

The remainder of the grounds are covered by mature plants and an architectural approach to landscape and planting.

The wide driveway leads up to the garage and entrance. This area provides easy access for parking, turning, and entry to the detached double garage.

The house exploits all the potential of a southwest-facing hillside in the heart of Bearsden, 8 minutes’ walk from Hillfoot Railway station which has direct trains to Edinburgh Park and City, 8 minutes’ walk from Bearsden Cross, and within walking distance of some of the best schools in the country.
