Totally unique for the area, the house is of a sizeable scale (refer to floor plans), extending to nearly 4000 sq ft, in addition to which is a very useful basement level with three storage rooms and the property’s double garage.<br/><br/>With five bedrooms (all generous doubles) and essentially 4 public rooms, it is a home to accommodate almost all families and with its large garden, including an enclosed tennis court, room to enjoy the outdoors too.<br/><br/>The house is brick-built and presents an impressive façade, with broad, sweeping, steps leading up to the stone porticoed front door. Beyond this is the property’s amazing hall, staircase, and galleried upper hall, all featuring stained leaded windows. With the timber clad ceilings, it really is quite an entree to the house.<br/><br/>Our client has owned the property since 1999 and in that time has maintained it well. It is fair to state, however, that kitchen fitments, some of the sanitary ware, decor, and some windows are of a vintage and as such evident scope presents the buyer to add subsequent value. Undoubtedly, the purchaser will view the house as a generational purchase and in this regard, it is the first opportunity in over a quarter century to acquire this much-admired Bearsden home.<br/><br/>Summary of Accommodation<br/><br/>Ground Floor<br/><br/>Entrance vestibule.
