Property Description

Dating from the 1890’s, a stone Detached House occupying an elevated site with an outlook, south, directly over the expanses of Colquhoun Park.
Our clients, who acquired the house in the 1990’s, have invested hugely over the years to improve the property both internally and externally. For sale therefore is an exceptionally well equipped, and presented, family home that successfully blends the character of the original house with the benefits that modern contemporary appointments and services provide.
The roof was re-slated, and windows replaced, most in period styled double glazed sash and casement. An internal wall was removed to create that much desired open-plan kitchen/dining/living area (see photos) which augments and alteration by a previous owner where a larger lounge was created by combining two rooms. Fireplaces were installed with a modern, glass fronted log burner, by Stovax, in the dining/living area and with a gorgeous, classically designed, fire surround in solid limestone in the lounge where the polished cast iron fireplace features a living flame coal effect gas fire. Heating is provided by mains gas where the boiler (Worcester Greenstar Highflow 550 CDi ErP combination boiler) was renewed in 2020.
The open-plan kitchen arrangement was created about 6 years ago and as clients will see from our imagery the design includes a large central island with a solid composite work surface, integrated to which is a Franke sink with boiling water tap, a waste disposal unit, an induction hob, and a built-in dishwasher. The designer pendant lights are a cool design touch as are the cream high-gloss kitchen units. The main family bathroom includes a large shower enclosure as does the more recently fitted ground floor shower room, both impressively equipped.
Decoratively the theme is calm with Farrow and Ball paint used throughout, with flooring a mix of carpet, solid cherry wood, Karndean, and LVF. Original detail such as cornice, picture rails, and the Victorian pine panelled doors are retained.
Outside, the garden is on a gradient rising from front to rear. Here our clients made a significant investment to create the winding, block-paved, drive that leads between the large, planted beds, with stone faced retaining walls with lights, to a large parking/turning area to the east side of the house. The work also included the stone steps to the front and rear of the house and the creation of the large stone, and block-paved, south, and west facing sun terrace - a truly lovely spot for spring and summer entertaining/alfresco dining and to enjoy the outlook over Colquhoun Park. This front landscaping includes impressive planting that includes Acers, Magnolia, Himalayan Birch, Flowering Cherry, and grasses. The rear garden is on a slope and is accessed via the stone steps of the “Japanese garden” at the west terrace. It lies to grass and is bounded by fences to the west and south, a hedge to the east and an original brick wall to the north boundary. Trees include Sycamore and Beech.
For those with children the acres of Colquhoun Park, which includes some wildflower and wildlife areas, are a huge playground to enjoy. School catchment is for Bearsden Primary (at Bearsden Cross and only half a mile away) and for the high-performing (currently number 2 ranked State Secondary in Scotland) Bearsden Academy at Courthill. Also in Bearsden is The High School of Glasgow Junior School and St Nicholas’ Primary.
There is much we could detail about the property but fair to say it is a highly impressive traditional home in fine order and with a great and very convenient location. Our imagery will convey how well the house is presented and appointed and our floor plans the arrangement of rooms.

• Hall - a large (wide and long) reception hall with the original staircase. Understairs cupboard.

Garage
Set at the foot of the garden, to the side of the driveway, the garage is a single benefiting from an electric remote controlled garage door by Hormann. It has power, light, and water tap.
Situation
Station Rd, as the name suggests, is where Bearsden railway station is. This is about 1/4 mile away and where regular services (four trains per hour at peak times, two trains per hour off-peak) go to Glasgow 's West End and City Centre including a service to Edinburgh. On this section of Station Road overlooking Colquhoun Park, the house very much enjoys the view and facilities this affords. At the top of Station Road is a well-stocked Co-op store with Bearsden Cross, home to a selection of quality retailers including a fishmongers, butchers, Marks and Spencer’s food hall, cafes, restaurants, and a Post Office.
