Property description

At the heart of Old Bearsden, within the conservation area, near Bearsden Cross is this fine traditional Semi-Detached House from 1926 and one of only four “stone and brick” built. A most handsome house, with traditional rosemary tiled roof, it sits upon a generous and wide level garden.

In 2009 CR Smith were commissioned to build the impressive, and large, conservatory set to the west gable which is of a particularly high quality, and which provides another year-long public room. Generous in overall scale the house has three public rooms (including the conservatory), four large bedrooms, a very smart kitchen (renewed in 2017) with a dedicated dining area, bathroom, and two WC's. Off the kitchen is both a small utility and a laundry room. A key space is the lovely reception hall and the staircase ascending to and a large upper hall (see floor plan). This, along with the lounge and dining room, has an original wood panelled ceiling, a lovely feature.

A home full of character it is also one supported by modern kitchen and bathroom/WC fitments. The gas central heating system has a modern Ideal Logic + Heat 30 system boiler with a high-capacity 170 litre unvented hot water cylinder to ensure plenty of water pressure. Windows are the original sash and case single glazed windows, bar the double glazed, timber framed, windows of the conservatory.

Our clients have proudly owned the house for some 42 years and it too will be a wonderful family home for its new owner to enjoy for years.
