Approximately 11 miles south of Glasgow City Centre and approximately 3.5 miles from east Kilbride, the hamlet is acknowledged as a premier residential area and is one of the most desirable within the conurbation of Greater Glasgow.

The Southern Orbital Road is less than 1.5 miles from the property and provides high speed commuting links to the city and Ayrshire. Thorntonhall station provides a regular train service to the commercial centres of both Glasgow and East Kilbride.

Glasgow boasts a number of distinguished private schools including Hutchesons' Grammar School, Craigholme School for Girls, Glasgow Academy, Kelvinside Academy, High School of Glasgow, St Aloysius College and Belmont House. These schools are acknowledged for their academic excellence and are readily accessible by rail links from the property. Nearby East Kilbride offers a wealth of shopping facilities including the Olympia shopping complex and retail park as well as multi-screen cinema, a selection of restaurants, ice rink, Dollan Aqua Centre, sport centres, leisure centres, golf courses and recreational facilities.

Description

Built in 2009 and recently fully remodelled by the owners, Veneto Villa is a magnificent detached villa with accommodation on three floors, extending to about 8000 sq ft.

The materials and fittings used in the remodelling of this exceptional house are of the highest specification and include white marble flooring on the ground floor, a bespoke Porcelanosa kitchen, sanitaryware by Duravit, Hansa taps, a sophisticated security system, Cat5 cabling with Sonas multi-room audio system and a state of the art cinema room. The Art Deco theme is enhanced by Art Deco style cornicing by Miles & Wilde of London and polished chrome door furniture on the solid walnut doors. Walnut has also been used for the magnificent circular staircase. Full specification details can be provided on request. The attention to detail is exemplary.

The impressive reception hallway is entered from a vestibule with outer storm doors. Partly glazed walnut double doors with glazed side screens open into a lofty, well lit hallway with solid white marble flooring. The staircase curves sinuously upwards to a galleried first floor landing. .

The formal drawing room has a four frame bay window, a white marble fireplace, and an Art Deco style ceiling with geometric cornicing, built-in speakers and spotlights.   Adjacent to it is the open plan sitting room and kitchen. The bespoke Porcelanosa kitchen has a wall of handle free fitted cupboards with built-in appliances and an island unit with a Corian worktop incorporating a sink, a de Dietrich induction hob and a breakfast bar seating six. A set of French doors opens from the kitchen onto a terrace. The sitting room has three further sets of French doors to the terrace and can accommodate substantial sofas and chairs as well as a dining table. It has a similar Art Deco style ceiling to that in the drawing room with geometric cornicing, built-in speakers and spotlights. Glazed double doors connect it to the reception hallway and it has a door to the bar or snug which is also accessed from an inner hallway off the reception hallway. Also off the inner hallway are a television room, a study and a secondary, preparation kitchen. This kitchen (also by Porcelanosa) is equipped to the same high standard and has fitted units, an island, a Rangemaster cooker, a wide range of Miele appliances, and a secure, connecting door to the integral triple garage. Off the reception hallway is a fully tiled cloakroom and there is a walk-in store room off the inner hallway.

Off the elegant first floor galleried landing is the master bedroom suite. It is above the drawing room and has an exceptionally spacious bedroom with a bay window, ceiling spotlights and speakers. There is a luxurious dressing room with bespoke fitted furniture and an en suite bathroom with twin basins, shower, Jacuzzi bath, screened wc and bidet, two chrome towel radiators and black marble tiling. There are four more double bedrooms (all with built-in wardrobes and three with en suite shower rooms) a family bathroom and a further wc. Also on this level is a cinema room with nine leather seats. A plant room is accessed from the cinema room. The second floor is given over to a spectacular entertainment room with a built-in bar and fitted storage incorporating an oven and wine coolers. It is lit by six Velux rooflights with open views over Thorntonhall to the countryside beyond.

Remotely controlled gates with a security speaker system open from Wellknowe Road into a parking area to the front and side of the house. The integral triple garage has three remotely controlled up and over doors. The house is surrounded on the other three sides by manicured lawns with evergreens providing excellent screening. A west facing slate terrace to the rear of the house is accessed from the sitting room and kitchen.
