Torrance, Glasgow

Architecturally designed and built in 2004, Glenside is a truly remarkable detached villa surrounded by rolling countryside and built of breezeblock and stone with a slate roof. The property has been finished to an immensely high standard and is a really wonderful traditional home, offering fantastic family accommodation to over 4,000 sq. ft. The property itself has a high end finished to include slate floors with underfloor heating and oak staircase, floors and surrounds. The property is set within a beautifully landscaped garden and has the added benefit of a traditionally built triple garage, again with slate roof. The property is surrounded by a stone retaining wall and is entered through stone gateposts with black wrought iron gates.
There is a sweeping cobbled driveway to the front of the house where the property is entered into a magnificent reception hallway with feature oak sweeping staircase and two fantastic size Velux windows, letting in the most incredible natural sunlight. The reception hall also has a slate floor, as well as a downstairs bathroom located off. There is a truly stunning living room/dining room/kitchen, with a combination of slate and oak hardwood and a fantastic open fire, as well as a bespoke kitchen with integrated appliances and range stove. The kitchen also accesses onto a utility room with separate WC and from there to the outside. The kitchen also accesses a family room, currently utilised as a playroom for the children. There is a sitting room, again with open fire, and a purpose built conservatory, again with double doors opening up onto the garden. The accommodation downstairs is completed by a large double bedroom with integrated storage and bathroom. The staircase leads to a broad and spacious L shaped upper landing where two walk-in storage cupboards, six further bedrooms, all of which feature integrated storage and two of which have en-suite shower rooms. The accommodation upstairs is completed by a further family sized bathroom.
In addition, the property has timber casement double glazed windows, as well as oil central heating system. The property has septic tank drainage and, as previously mentioned, has a panoramic outlook over rolling countryside. The garden has been beautifully landscaped with paved areas as well as a sun terrace, lawn and post and rail fencing at the back of the house. There is a front stone built retaining wall with gates, with the property enjoying the sun’s orientation all day long.
