The house has a level garden that is south facing, at the rear, and has an enviable location just some half mile west of Bearsden Cross. Nearby is Thorn Park, Bearsden golf course and the courts of Thorn Tennis Club. The original 1930s house would have been built as a bungalow, it was extended (sun lounge) and developed (two dormer bedrooms and a shower room) upstairs in the 1990s to provide the present configuration. A fine property it represents an excellent home both for couples and for families with school catchment being for the nearby Castlehill primary and for the very high-performing Bearsden Academy.
This is the first time the house has come to market since 1973 and whilst there are aspects of the property that are of an older specification it has been well looked after. The roof was retiled in 2015 with the roof to the sun lounge extension renewed only this year (2024). Double-glazed, uPVC framed, windows are featured in six of the rooms with original Crittal windows, secondary glazed, in the remaining four. A double-glazed Velux window throws lots of light (south facing) to the staircase. Central heating is mains gas with an older vintage Celsia F1 regular boiler. Kitchen units and bathroom fitments are of a 1990s vintage. To the east side of the house, at the end of a gravel driveway, is both a garage and a carport.
Priced to reflect specification there is scope for the purchaser to add value through the typical process of modernising and personalization.
