Built some 65 years ago by the admired builder John Russell this 3 bedroom Semi Detached House is located within one of Milngavie’s most admired districts - a quiet residential corner near Clober golf course and Allander Park the latter's woodland, along with some rural views, being an engaging aspect from the house.

The property has been much improved over the years by our clients. The roof was re tiled only in 2022, retaining the 14 PV solar panels on its south pitch. A front extension was added circa 2012 to make an even larger hall and to provide a ground floor shower room to augment the existing main house shower room (formerly a bathroom), both featuring quality suites. The kitchen is very well designed and boasts smart modern units and a range of integrated appliances. Central heating is mains gas and has a Potterton Gold Combi HE boiler. In John Russell's original design the attic had a gable (side) window and was a large space. In the late 1980s our clients made the most of this by fully flooring and lining it and having a custom made fixed, open-tread, staircase installed to make this area an extremely useful attic room. All windows, and external doors, are uPVC framed double glazed only the attic Velux being timber framed. To the side of the house is an attached single garage with modern garage door (by Garador), rear access door, and a large stainless-steel utility sink. Here, the owners have their washing machine and tumble dryer.
The property enjoys a corner garden, with Blackwood Road, at the very end of Crawford Road with the rear garden having an ideal southwest orientation to capture the sun. It is a property that should find broad appeal from couples to families where local schooling is nearby at the both highly regarded Clober Primary and Douglas Academy.

Attic
This is a great asset and a large space with both gable window, which affords as delightful rural view, and a Velux window. Fully lined, floored, and carpeted it is used as a Home Office. Two access points to eaves storage.

In these times of increased energy bills it is a real asset that the house has 14 photovoltaic solar panels installed to augment electricity supply. We understand these were fitted in 2011and provided in 2023 a feed-in return of some £1800 per annum we are advised. The inverter is located in the attic eaves. External insulation was added to the gable wall.
Garden
The house enjoys a corner plot. The front garden has two terraces, granite gravelled, with a stocked bed to the side. Wide block-paved driveway provides off street parking for two cars, side by side. To the side of the garage a fence with gate accesses a hard standing area for bins and from this to the rear garden which has a wide, slabbed, patio running across the back of the house which, given the southwest orientation, one can enjoy the day’s sun. There is a further “top patio” for a late evening drink. The garden is bounded by fencing and a trimmed conifer hedge and there is an area of grass reached via steps from the patio between which are two borders with brick retaining walls.

A lovely home.
