Built in the late 1800’s, this beautiful stone built detached villa is located in a well established part of Helensburgh and the house sits in extensive, level gardens that are very private from surrounding properties. The current owners have, over the past few years, considerably modernised, improved and further extended the property, with a contemporary timber clad rear extension that provides a stunning open plan breakfasting kitchen and family area. The interior of the property is impeccably presented, with contemporary décor, good quality flooring, carpeting and finishes throughout and with a high end modern specification. The house does display many fine period features which complement the modern feel. Perfectly laid out for family life, the accommodation extends over two floors and is versatile in its layout. On the ground floor, an outer vestibule opens into a very welcoming reception hall that features a staircase to the upper landing. On one side of the hall is a large lounge with a bay window to the front and with a timber fire surround and living flame gas fire. On the other side of the hall is a formal dining room with timber flooring, window to the front and a marble fireplace, again with a living flame gas fire. To the rear of the lounge is a further public room which is currently used as a gym but could be an additional bedroom or home office, if required. At the rear of the reception hall there is access to a beautifully refitted modern shower room with large shower enclosure, wc and wash hand basin. From the dining room (and also from the rear of the hall), there is access to the open plan kitchen and family room area. This has been completely transformed and features, as part of the extension, a high ceiling and bi-fold doors to side and rear opening out onto a terraced sitting area and with the kitchen beautifully finished with stylish modern units, a central island unit and with a range of appliances. To one side of the kitchen, is a good sized utility room with space and plumbing for several appliances. A door from here opens out to the front. The extended part of the house enjoys pretty much all day long sunshine and takes in fantastic views over the gardens. Moving onto the upstairs accommodation, the landing has built-in storage and gives access to four well proportioned double bedrooms, all of which are beautifully presented and decorated, with two to the front and two overlooking the gardens at the rear. The large family bathroom features a separate bath and shower, wc and wash hand basin and it is large enough to split into two and to form an ensuite off one of the bedrooms, if required. The property is warmed by a system of gas fired central heating and all of the windows are replacement double glazed units. As you can see from the exterior photos, the soffits and fascias have all been replaced.
The gardens to the front feature a good sized lawned area, screened by mature hedging from the road. A large gravelled driveway and parking area leads down the side and to the front of the property and can accommodate numerous cars and there is a lean-to carport at the side of the house. A wrought iron gate opens into the back garden which is one of the most stunning features of the property, offering a large expanse of lawn which is very private from the surrounding neighbours and enjoys all day long sunshine. Adjacent to the extended part of the property, there are steps up to a slabbed terrace area and there is also a timber hot tub which will be included in the sale, although it does require some attention.
