Property Description
- Deluxe double bay fronted detached villa
- Super location in a premier Thorn address
- Fantastic, entirely level rear garden – south facing/very private
- High specification and tastefully decorated throughout
- Eight principal apartments
- Off street driveway parking and modern garage with electric door
Quietly positioned to the head of Upper Glenburn Road, this outstanding detached villa has been significantly and successfully augmented to create a sizeable family home of eight principal apartments over two full height storeys. Impressive yet unassuming to the front, the rear elevation really is where the space on offer and extent of work that has been undertaken is properly showcased. A fabulous home with first-hand inspection advised to appreciate the extent and quality of accommodation on offer.
The Thorn district is amongst one of the most desirable in Bearsden, with its proximity to Thorn Park, Thorn Tennis Club, Bearsden Golf Course, and Bearsden Cross. Within it, Upper Glenburn Road has long been one of the most admired addresses, with its mix of early 20th century, 1930s, mid-century, and post-war homes. Here, No.39 was constructed in the late 1950’s, with development of the original house completed c.2016. This involved the original 1 ½ storey structure being significantly extended to its rear elevation, with a full second floor created to accommodate four particularly well sized bedrooms.
Internally, the specification is high end, with a ‘quality first’ approach made evident with features such as the bespoke hand-crafted kitchen by deVOL, tiling by Fired Earth and Farrow & Ball paintwork throughout. Without doubt, the heart of the home is the open plan dining/kitchen area – a fantastic space for socialising and entertaining, with the seven additional apartments providing the adaptability required of growing/established families.

A driveway provides ample off-street parking and leads to a fully serviced detached garage (re-built as part of the 2016 development) with electric door.
