Description
A brick-built Detached House, by WS Gordon, dating from the 1950s and extended circa 1980. Set upon a fine sized garden of approx. 0.17 acre it is in one of Bearsden’s most sought after locations, the Thorn district, and within same one of the areas most admired addresses – Westbourne Drive, home to fine Edwardian stone houses, some from the 1930s, and those post-war.
Much has been done to upgrade the property including re-roofing, installation of quality CR Smith double glazed windows (finished in a brown woodgrain exterior with white to the interior), a new system boiler for the gas central heating (Ideal Heat2 H24), and smart modern sanitary ware to both the bathroom and to the ground floor, “wet room” shower room. Scope though, still, for the next owner to take the subjects further and in so doing add value.
Summary of Accommodation
Ground Floor
Entrance vestibule with storm doors. Hall. A fine lounge with both broad bay window to the front (south) plus additional side window (west), and with a marble fireplace featuring a living flame coal effect gas fire. Dining room. Cosy snug with patio doors to the rear garden and, directly, the terrace. The kitchen forms part of the 1980 extension and has cabinets from that era. It has space for a breakfast table and chairs and is flooded with morning light by virtue of the two east facing windows. Built-in appliances, as seen. Off the kitchen is a utility room, with double glazed back door. Completing the ground floor accommodation is the smartly equipped shower room with contemporary white suite, and with a resin floor to accommodate the floor drain for the “wet zone” shower (Mira Sport electric shower).
First Floor
The staircase ascends to a first floor hallway with gable window (east). Here a loft hatch, with aluminium loft-ladder access to a fully floored (carpeted) attic with two modern Velux windows and with many access points to eaves storage. Power and light installed. A very handy space indeed.
There are three bedrooms with the primary bedroom being of a great size, featuring another broad bay window, and with a suite of bedroom furniture. Completing the accommodation is another modern bathroom. As with the shower room it has fully tiled walls and here a Karndean floor. Over the bath is a Triton Aspirante electric shower.
The garage, rather conveniently, has a pass/access door to/from the kitchen. It has power and light and has some of the original kitchen units” upcycled” to provide tool storage. Small workbench. Two single glazed windows to the side (east).
Garden
The front garden is mostly monoblocked to provide parking for three cars. It is screened by hedgerows, mainly beach, on three sides and with a planted border to the west. Two gravel pathways, via gates, lead to the rear garden. This is generous in size and starts with a slabbed patio/sun terrace across the back of the house. From here, steps wind past both brick and stone retaining walls to a sloping, lawned, rear garden bordered by hedges and with a planted bed along the east boundary. The lawn is divided by mixed bushes sheltering a second patio. By this is a timber shed. Good outlook from the top of the garden.
Location
The house is just a half mile to the very centre of Bearsden, the Cross. It is two roads over from Thorn Park, Bearsden Golf Club, and Thorn Tennis Club. School catchment is at Castlehill Primary and the consistently high-performing Bearsden Academy. Beside the Academy is St Nicholas’ Primary. Bearsden is also home to The High School of Glasgow Junior School (Ledcameroch Road), its senior school just south of Bearsden at Anniesland. Bearsden remains one of Scotland's best suburbs with ready road and rail links to the City Centre and West End and minutes drive to some glorious countryside. Loch Lomond is only a 30 minute drive away.
