Property Description
Located in the popular Boclair district, and very handily placed for the local primary and secondary schools, a Detached House, built by Taylor Homes, dating from the 1960s.
Whilst rooms had the paintwork recently refreshed it is fair to state that the property would benefit from a programme of upgrading. This is price reflected and allows, therefore, the purchaser scope to modernise to their own style, specification, and budget.

Description
A brick built, chalet style, Detached House in the Boclair district. An ideal family home it is just around the corner from the fabulous new School premises of Boclair Academy and only 0.5 mile to the excellent Killermont Primary.
A 5/6 apartment property it can be used as 3 or 4 bedrooms as needed, the ground floor family TV room easily being a bedroom if required. The lounge and the dining room are arranged on an open plan basis, both featuring a southerly outlook to the rear garden, with the dining room featuring a bay window arrangement with French doors, a nice feature. As stated, much of the property is dated in terms of spec and there are certainly areas of upgrading and change that buyer will factor in. This has been reflected in the home report valuation and allows, therefore, the buyer to import their own taste, spec, budget and in so doing add value.
Summary of Accommodation
Ground Floor
Hall. Lounge, retaining the original stone fireplace (the living flame gas fire not tested). The dining room has the bay arrangement with French doors to the garden. Both rooms have mahogany hardwood flooring which could be sanded and varnished. Similarly, the family TV room (bedroom 4) has this floor too. It is a nice square shape room, set to the front. The kitchen dates from pre-2000 and is an area likely to be renewed but remains very functional. Appliances as seen are all included. Completing the ground floor accommodation is a modern, fully tiled, bathroom.
First Floor
A return flight stair passes a ¼ landing and ascends to a first-floor hallway with two cupboards and a third cupboard which provides access to eaves. Two good sized double bedrooms, both with double-width wardrobe provision, and eaves access, and with bedroom 1 providing a nice outlook to the front over the rooftops opposite to a field hilltop and in the distance to the horizon outline of The Campsie Fells. Bedroom 3 is a small single, with Velux window, that would be good for a kid or ideal as a Home Office.
Gardens
The garden is south facing at the rear. It too will require investment. The rear garden is enclosed by fences, a brick wall, and is gated. Mature conifers and some trees provide full privacy. The front garden includes a one-car drive and a small section of grass with low hedges as boundaries. A path leads around the west side of the house(gate) where there is a water tap. Attached to the east gable is a single garage with modern electric garage door, and a door to the rear garden. Behind the garage is a greenhouse.
Location
Boclair has long been popular with couples and families particularly due to the schooling. On the westerly fringe of Bearsden, it is close to countryside. Hillfoot railway station is about a 15-minute walk away with Bearsden Cross, the heart of Bearsden, about 1.25 mile to the west. Boclair adjoins Kessington and Killermont and here you will find the King George V Park with its kids’ playground and beyond that some lovely woodland walks through the Templehill Woods. By this are the fairways of Killermont golf course.
