Property Description

A particularly fine Edwardian (1906), stone, Semi-Detached House within the conservation district of Bearsden but 0.4 mile to the west of Bearsden Cross and set upon a lovely corner garden with Westbourne Drive
It's blonde sandstone, double-fronted, façade with central door strikes handsome architectural lines, its design that bit different from most in the area. It has been a much cared for home by our clients and is the first time in 36 years for it to be on the market and for someone to acquire it and call it home.
• Entrance Vestibule
• Impressive Reception Hall
• 3 Public Rooms
• 4 Bedrooms
• Dining Kitchen
• Custom designed Conservatory
• Bathroom
• Shower Room
The subjects are of a fine scale and retain the original features of woodwork, doors, ceiling plasterwork, leaded windows, and many sash & casement windows (secondary glazed), and the lounge fireplace all augmented by the more contemporary appointments of Shaker style kitchen, white sanitary ware, the custom designed/ built conservatory, and an efficient gas central heating system with a Worcester Greenstar condensing combination boiler. The traditional facade is kept by the retention of the original windows facing both Thorn Drive and Westbourne Drive (all secondary glazed), the high-quality stonework proudly set beneath a Scots slate roof (annually inspected). This is a home ready for a new generation of family to enjoy and a rare opportunity to buy one of these homes in this highly prized Glasgow district.
