‘Aitkenbank’ is, quite simply, a truly rare opportunity to acquire a fabulous detached family house, located close to Bearsden Cross where the traditional façade of a Victorian Cottage meets a modern contemporary double height extension in a seamless marriage of traditional meets modern. The original house retains a wealth of period features to include ornate cornice and feature staircase. The modern part of the house gives outstanding open plan family space (especially the kitchen, the hub of any home), as well as contemporary bathrooms and en-suites. The property is set behind a high mature garden hedge to the front and enjoys a good deal of privacy. The property went under a major extension in 2007 and was totally re wired and re plumbed throughout at this time.

Stretching to around 2,225 ft² the accommodation comprises, entrance vestibule through to reception hall with oak flooring, Porcelanosa fitted WC with full length vanity mirror. There is a formal lounge with carpet, a sitting room with oak flooring, and in the extension the main part of the downstairs living space, an absolutely fabulous open plan kitchen, dining room, family room with a Living Flame effect log burner (gas) and sliding doors opening up onto the garden. The kitchen has quality stainless steel “Siemens” integrated appliances, shaker style cabinetry with contrast brass hardware and Corian worktops. There is a utility room to match the kitchen again with courtesy door to the rear garden.

Upstairs the original staircase leads to a redesigned upper hall and landing, incorporating a galleried area with glass balustrade and a main hall section with coiling roof light. From this upper level there are four bedrooms and a study. The master bedroom is a fabulous self-contained suite with vaulted ceiling and a four -piece Porcelanosa en-suite bathroom with Velux windows giving incredible natural light as well as fully fitted storage. Bedrooms two, three and four are all doubles with sliding wardrobe storage, with Bed 4 providing a mezzanine level for additional storage/study space.

As mentioned, the gardens are beautifully tended and entirely level, with the rear garden notable for its attractive and highly practical combination of lawn and hard landscaping – plenty of room for al fresco dining and child’s play in equal measure.

Situation

The property couldn’t be better placed for access to Bearsden Cross, which is just along Roman Road. Here you will find an excellent selection of shops and services, including a Marks & Spencer’s (food hall) along with selection of quality independent retailers. Hillfoot train station, which provides four trains an hour into Glasgow’s West End and City Centre, with a direct service to Edinburgh Waverley, is just around the corner, off Milngavie Road. Bus services operate on Drymen Road. The property falls within catchment for the excellent facilities of Bearsden Primary and Bearsden Academy, with further schooling to be found at St. Nicholas Primary on Duntocher Road.
