An entirely unique property that was originally constructed c.1935, No.3 Baird Drive is commanding bay fronted detached villa that has, over time, been creatively extended to its side and rear elevations to create a large, well balanced family home with corners and retreats for all. Immediately charming and impressive with its sharp white render/contrast red brick dressings, the abundance of character and period appeal flows throughout the accommodation which strikes a seamless balance of traditional detailings/proportions and modern convenience. Early inspection advised.
Located in Bearsden’s Baird Drive – a quiet yet particularly well-placed address for access to local schooling and the amenities of Bearsden Cross- the property is beautifully hidden behind an established treeline to the front, with a beautifully stocked/arranged private garden to its rear. Simply lovely. The internal subjects are well presented and very much ‘ready to go’ for the prospective bidding party.
