Property Description

A particularly attractive and substantial traditional stone-built detached villa, occupying a lovely garden position within the highly regarded Thorn District of Bearsden. No.18 has a handsome sandstone frontage, broad bay windows and dormered upper floor give it a strong traditional character, whilst the beautifully maintained gardens provide an attractive setting and a pleasing degree of separation from neighbouring properties.

South Erskine Park is an established and sought-after residential address, characterised by handsome individual homes and mature gardens. The property is particularly well placed for families, falling within the catchment area for Bearsden Primary School and Bearsden Academy, while the amenities, transport connections and wider facilities of Bearsden are all readily accessible.

Entrance is via a porch into a welcoming reception hall, from which the principal ground-floor apartments are accessed. To the front is a superb formal lounge, an impressive room of excellent proportions with a broad bay window and handsome fireplace providing an attractive focal point. On the opposite side of the hall is the formal dining room, again featuring a bay window and decorative cornicing and offering ample space for a substantial dining table.

To the rear is an excellent additional sitting room, a particularly bright apartment with extensive glazing overlooking the gardens and a contemporary fireplace. This provides a comfortable and more informal everyday living space and complements the property's two traditional front-facing reception rooms particularly well.

The dining kitchen is positioned towards the rear of the house and provides space for everyday dining, with adjoining utility room adding useful practicality. There is also a ground-floor fifth bedroom, offering considerable flexibility for use as a guest bedroom, home office or study. Completing the ground-floor accommodation is a separate shower room.
The staircase rises to a particularly attractive first-floor landing, where a beautiful stained-glass window provides a lovely period feature. There are four further bedrooms on this level, including generously proportioned principal bedrooms and rooms with useful fitted storage. A well-appointed family bathroom completes the first-floor accommodation and incorporates a bath with shower, wash-hand basin, WC, fitted storage and extensive tiling.

Externally, the gardens are a real feature of the property. The house sits comfortably within established grounds with well-maintained lawns, mature hedging, planted beds and borders, and areas of hard landscaping. To the rear is a broad paved terrace providing a natural spot for outdoor seating and entertaining. A driveway provides off-street parking and leads to the substantial detached garage.

Overall, 18 South Erskine Park represents a particularly appealing opportunity within one of Bearsden's established traditional residential districts. The combination of five bedrooms, three excellent public rooms, generous garden grounds, detached garage and a sought-after school catchment should ensure broad appeal, particularly for families looking for a long-term home with genuine character and considerable flexibility.

South Erskine Park is very much at the heart of Bearsden with the house only 0.3 miles from Bearsden Cross. Here you will find cafes, restaurants, post office, fishmonger, a butcher, an M&S food hall, doctor and dental surgeries, and a range of other services and independent retailers. At The Cross is the primary catchment school of Bearsden Primary with secondary catchment at the consistently high-performing Bearsden Academy. Bearsden is also home to St Nicholas’ Primary (Duntocher Road) and the independent High School of Glasgow Junior School on Ledcameroch Road, it's senior school just south of Bearsden at Anniesland. Bearsden has nurseries including The Early Years Learning Centre across from the bottom of South Erskine Park.

Bearsden's reputation as one of the best places in Scotland to live is enduring with easy road links to the West End and City Centre, bus services, and regular train services including one to Edinburgh (the nearest train station, Bearsden, is just south of the cross, a 10-minute walk from the house). There are tennis clubs and golf courses, lots of walks, and, just north of the suburb, glorious countryside with the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park only a 25-minute drive away.
