About this property

  • This beautiful mid-Victorian villa commands a prime position off Carrick Drive and is in superb order inside and out. Constructed from blonde sandstone, this fine example of 19th century architecture stands as a testament to the period and seamlessly blends modern comforts with period charm. Comprising around 3703sq ft of flexible family accommodation over two floors including the garden room and garage, the house benefits from well-proportioned reception rooms and bedrooms and a stunning modern extension which is home to a spacious dining room and kitchen.

    Accessed via an entrance vestibule and into the large entrance hall, the impressive features that run throughout the property are immediately in evidence, including high ceilings with intricate cornicing and roses and intricate hardwood parquet flooring.

    The ground floor comprises a sitting room with bay window and focal fireplace, family room with fireplace and a library with a sauna and steam room off. A guest bedroom with en suite shower room is located off the hallway.

    To the rear of the property the luxury fitted dining kitchen has been architecturally designed with two glazed cupolas, corner windows that open to the garden and a Siberian larch-clad exterior. The sympathetically designed kitchen is equipped with high quality appliances including a Rangemaster stove, a selection of cabinetry and a breakfast island. A well-appointed utility room is located off the kitchen and has a door leading out to the garden. The dining area is perfectly positioned to take advantage of the view over the garden. Finally, a handy WC completes the downstairs accommodation.

    Upstairs there are four excellent bedrooms including the fantastic principal bedroom with large bay window offering views over Glasgow and an ultra modern family bathroom with freestanding bath and walk in shower.
    Externally to the front, dual entrances give the opportunity to drive in and out while providing plenty of parking.

    To the rear, the substantial garden is surrounded by a stone built wall and is mainly laid to lawn, bordered by mature trees and shrubbery. A stone patio is located outside on the lower level beside the dining room and on the upper outside level the recently constructed summer house/gym which is fully insulated with electricity making it a versatile space.

    Further benefits include double glazed window units, solar panels and a single garage.
