Property Description

A striking redesign of a 1930s bungalow that creates a very contemporary Detached House of 7/8 apartments that can be configured as 3 or 4 bedrooms.

Hugely impressive, garden level, rear extension

Provides open-plan kitchen/dining room/living room with bi-fold doors, French doors, and feature mono-pitched oblique roof

Both bathroom and ensuite shower room

uPVC double glazing (Bi-fold doors aluminium)

Gas central heating

Garage

Very private garden backing onto a park

Original house reroofed at time of extension (approx 17 years ago)

Description

This is a superb house. A traditional front facade conveys the 1930s origins of the former bungalow with the rear elevation, with its striking full width extension, with flying oblique mono-pitch roof, and a bank of glazing (French doors and central Bi-fold doors) providing a far more contemporary expression, and a fuller import of the house size.

It is the very juxtaposition of the two elevations that makes this detached house such a compelling proposition and a home that will appeal to a diversity of buyers.

Our clients utilise the house as three bedrooms but the TV room could readily provide a fourth bedroom if needed (see floorplan). With a formal lounge, the key space of the open-plan kitchen/dining/living room, and handy a home office there are plenty of public rooms/areas should a family buyer need more bedrooms.

The condition of the house is excellent, and the decor cool and calm, employing a white palette throughout with gorgeous solid beech, Junkers, flooring in the kitchen/dining/living room and the staircase to it; pine boards in the reception hall, lounge and TV room (bedroom 4); carpet in the three bedrooms and upper staircase with tiling to the bathroom and ensuite.

No doubt, a review of our photographs and HD video will confirm just how smart a property this is.

Summary of Accommodation

Ground Floor

Entrance vestibule. Reception hall, with window. Lounge with bay window, cast-iron fireplace with living flame coal effect gas fire, and a gorgeous original stained leaded alcove cabinet. Bay windowed TV room (or Bed 4). Home Office with dual aspect. Bedroom 1 - a fine size double. Fully tiled ensuite shower room with thermostatic shower. Bathroom – all tiled again, another thermostatic shower, and with a handy deep store cupboard.

Garden/Living Level

From the reception hall a smart staircase, finished in beech Junkers, descends to a lower ground floor level and to the main living area of the house - the very spacious kitchen/dining room/living room with its full bank of glazing looking to, and connecting directly to, the level rear garden. The ceiling is a mono-pitched vaulted ceiling - a key part of the architectural design of the extension and its flying oblique roof with pronounced exterior overhang.

The kitchen features modern white units in white high-gloss with white Corian topped worksurfaces behind which is clear glass splashbacks to the walls. Appliances include - 4 burner gas hob, cooker hood, double oven with grill, microwave, concealed fridge-freezer and dishwasher.

At the foot of the staircase are two very useful store cupboards one used as a laundry.

First Floor

Again from the reception hall, a staircase this time ascends to the first floor and a landing (illuminated by a conservation skylight window) off which are two similarly sized bedrooms with both dormer and Velux windows - perfect rooms for the kids or guests.

Garden

The garden is a plot that fronts Cluny Avenue and backs onto the boundary treeline of Cluny Park. Both front and rear garden areas are level with the side gardens/driveway on a gentle slope to follow the topography of the site. The front garden is screened by a privet hedge and is laid to monobloc which, with the drive, provides parking for up to four cars. It continues as a pathway to the west side of the house also.

The rear garden is far larger and is a very private space. A large, slabbed, sun terrace/patio runs across the full width of the house and specifically the kitchen/dining/living room. Beyond this are two sections of lawn and a second patio, all enclosed by fencing and laurel/rhodedendron screening.

The single garage, brick built, has a pitched roof and power and light installed. Very usefully, there is a cellar storage area accessed via a low-level door to the east gable. The boiler (Vokera Unica HE combi) is here. The boiler has a maintenance contract with British Gas.

Location

Killermont is on the south-easterly side of Bearsden, nearby the fairways of The Glasgow Golf Club (Killermont course). It falls in the catchment for the excellent Killermont Primary School and for the new school premises of Boclair Academy. There are some local shops to be found on Rannoch Drive, including the much-loved late opening general store, Murdo’s. Ready access, via Maryhill Road or Bearsden’s Switchback Road, to Glasgow’s West End and city centre. There are three railway stations in Bearsden and a further railway station not far away at Maryhill Park. The house certainly enjoys its particular setting, backing otto the grounds of Cluny Park and the sout orientation that the rear garden affords. Not far away is another expansive park – King George V Park and a little further the woodland walks of the Templehill Woods. Bearsden Cross, the heart of Bearsden, is just under 1.5 mile away, by car, and less more directly on foot.
