Property Description

Built pre-war by W S Gordon this three bedroomed, Semi-Detached House is located at the end of a small cul-de-sac, in the Hillfoot district – very handy for Hillfoot Railway Station and the shops/restaurants at Hillfoot and just further along Milngavie Road from those at Kessington. It is also only some half a mile from Bearsden Cross and the excellent amenities to be found there.

• Semi-Detached House with rear extension.
• Three Bedrooms.
• Two to three Public Rooms.
• Kitchen, Shower Room (renewed Sept 2021), small WC.
• Gas central heating, double glazing (mixed vintage).
• Detached single garage.
• Fan shaped garden plot.
• At end of small cul-de-sac.
• Within the Hillfoot district.
• Bearsden Primary and Academy catchment.
• Some elements of modernising required.

Our clients have enjoyed this family home for over 50 years only now seeking to downsize. They extended the house (with a pitched and tiled roof) about 32 years ago to add another public room (dining room) and making the kitchen larger. In 2021 the bathroom was re-fitted with the shower room suite seen herein. The house is double glazed, mostly though from the late 1970s when aluminium framed units were installed with some within the last decade or so, including the more contemporary external doors, in modern white uPVC. Central heating is mains gas with an old Stelrad Ideal W2000 System Boiler located in a rather useful sub-floor cellar area (handy for accessing underneath the house). The house has a modern brick built detached single garage, slightly larger than standard, situated at the end of a red monobloc driveway that will take three cars.
The house sits on a fan-shaped plot, widening towards the rear. The front garden has the drive and a hard landscaped area with some shrub beds. The rear garden has an elevated sun deck, a lawn and some vegetable beds. There is a small section at the bottom left-hand corner of the rear garden with an invisible boundary that doesn’t fall within the title plan but equally is not under the ownership of any other but is used by No.11. This has been the custom and practice/arrangement for decades.
As it has been for our clients this will make a lovely home for families – tucked away at the end of the cul-de-sac, handy for amenities and transport, and falling within the catchment for Bearsden Primary (at The Cross) and for the high-performing Bearsden Academy. Also in Bearsden is St Nicholas’s Primary and the Bearsden Early Years Centre.
Whilst there are areas, arguably, that a new owner may seek to modernise (decor, older windows, central heating boiler) it has been a loved and cared for home. The extension really does make a difference to the usability of rooms.
