Property Description
A large stone fronted, pre-war, Detached House in the Switchback district set upon an established garden backing onto the Cairnhill Woods. It has a generous 6 apartment layout (see floor plan) that can be used as three or four bedrooms as required.
The roof has been retiled and there is a gas central heating system but as the subjects are original, as are many of its features, investment will be required to modernise. This has been price reflected and allows the successful purchaser scope to upgrade and develop to their own taste and budget, resulting in what would be a very special home.

Garden
The garden is very well established and is level. Most of it lies to the rear with the front garden screened by a shaped privet hedgerow, with front wall, behind which is a strip of lawn with border surround. Driveway gates open to a concrete drive that extends down the east side of the house and which is flanked by densely planted beds that would benefit from cutting back. A concrete path leads to the front door and continues around the west side of the house. The rear garden is south facing and fully enclosed with a pathway around its perimeter. It has two lawns (one to the west side of the house) and a densely planted central garden. Lots of colour, lots of interest. Backing onto the Cairnhill Woods is a lovely asset and to access this is a back gate, perfect for taking the dog for a walk.
Situation
The house is located within the Switchback district of Bearsden which is to the southern fringe of the town. It falls within the catchment for Westerton Primary school and for the new premises of Boclair Academy. Just over half a mile away is Westerton railway station with its regular links into Glasgow's West End and City Centre. Bearsden has long been regarded as one of Glasgow's foremost residential suburbs with the quality of schooling and local facilities.
