Description
This is one of the larger house types that WS Gordon built, in the 1970s, within the highly popular Mosshead estate – Mosshead Primary nearby and within catchment for the high-performing Bearsden Academy.
Built to a Canadian design there are 7 main apartments and is noted for its very large, first floor, lounge (see floorplan). Dependent on family requirements it can be used as 5 bedrooms or 4. The large kitchen with utility area is a welcome surprise adjacent to which is a generous dining room - scope here (subject to building warrant) to remove wall to create the increasingly sought after space of a large family kitchen/dining/living area. A Conservatory was added about ten years ago. On each floor there is a bathroom, the upstairs one renewed, the ground floor still the original spec.
Also of the original specification are the oak kitchen units albeit in very good condition and some of the windows which retain the narrow gauge double glazed timber framed units. Others (conservatory, hall, lounge front facing window, dining room) feature modern uPVC double glazed units. Central heating is mains gas with an Ideal Logic regular boiler installed about four years ago. The detached double garage has power and light installed along with a water tap and has an electric garage door and mechanism by Henderson.
The property has been priced to reflect those elements of original/dated specification and therefore an opportunity to acquire, upgrade, and add value.

Location
The Mosshead estate is on the northerly edge of Bearsden yet is only just over one mile, by direct foot, to Bearsden Cross (and approx 1.5 mile by car). It is close to the beauty spot of Kilmardinny Loch around which is a lovely woodland walk. Very popular with families due to the local primary school and from being in the catchment for Bearsden Academy beside which is St Nicholas Primary. On Stockiemuir Avenue is a smart, well stocked, Co-op mini market with Bearsden’s main shops to be found at The Cross or Kessington. At the top of the estate is Bearsden Ski Club with its two slopes and clubhouse. Beyond the nearby Mosshead Park, via Mosshead Rd it is a relatively short walk to the brilliant new facilities of the, local-authority, Allander Sports Centre at Kilmardinny as well as the private Pure Gym on Milngavie Road.
The house is in the cul-de-sac end of Seafield Avenue at the very end of which is a footpath to, and through, the Craigdhu Wedge, a protected conservation strip of greenbelt which connects to Milngavie as well as another route to Milngavie Road to reach Pure Gym, The Allander Sports Centre as well as the Burnbtrae Retail Park where there is a large Waitrose, and Aldi, and Home Bargains.
The property’s garden requires a bit of maintenance but the fundamentals are there with lawns front and rear, stocked borders and beds, patios, border fencing, and a number of mature trees. Small greenhouse to the rear of the garage. The tarmac driveway will provide off street parking for three cars.
