Deanston, 32 Queen Street, Helensburgh, G84

Outstanding C listed Victorian villa with luxury interior.

Description

The property has been lovingly upgraded and extended by the present owners, who have retained many fine original features of this C listed home, while adding their own style for modern family living. To this end they have built an impressive extension to create a wonderful family kitchen with dining and sitting areas with doors leading to a wraparound terrace with glass balustrade.

The entrance porch leads to the main reception hallway off which are most of the downstairs rooms along with a staircase leading the first floor.

To the right is the formal drawing room; a beautiful and elegant room with feature fireplace, cornice, ceiling rose and five pane bay window overlooking the front gardens. From the drawing room is the cinema room with windows to the front and rear. From here is an inner hallway leading to the gym, downstairs shower room and dressing room. From the reception hallway there is also access to the formal dining room with wood burning stove, box bay window to the front, tiled flooring, and, to the rear of the room, a games area (the ideal space for a pool or snooker table) together with a specially designed fitted bar with window to the rear. The stunning addition created by the present owners is a magnificent kitchen/family room with WC and office (currently used as a spa treatment room) which is accessed from the dining/games room. The modern bespoke kitchen has integrated appliances including a Lacanche gas range cooker, marble worktops and central island, windows to the front and sky light windows. From here there is the family room with two sets of doors leading to the raised terrace with glass balustrade and steps leading down to the garden.

A broad staircase leads to the half landing where a second home office is situated, and further stairs lead to the first floor. Here there are six bedrooms, one with en suite shower room, and there is also a four piece family bathroom. The principal bedroom has a five pane bay window and fitted wardrobes.
