1 Albert Street, Helensburgh, G84 7SG

Knoxland is a magnificent main door conversion that forms the majority of a substantial blonde sandstone detached Victorian villa. The property takes in the full ground floor of the building along with two rooms on the upper floor whilst retaining the original grand staircase of the villa. With accommodation of just under 3000 square feet, this is an exceptional family home, in one of Helensburgh’s most attractive addresses. It combines beautiful period features that include natural timber doors, skirtings, facings and staircase along with a modern specification with refitted kitchen, bathroom and shower room. The property is very well presented and sits in stunning garden grounds that are entered by a sweeping gravelled driveway from the cul-de-sac. There is plenty of parking to the front and side of the property and there is a detached garage to the side. The garden at the front features a large expanse of lawn with mature manicured hedging on the periphery along with a variety of trees, plants and shrubs featuring. The gardens continue down either side of the property where there are further lawns and to one side, a timber summerhouse. There is a further, large and enclosed walled garden area to the rear. The setup of the gardens is perfect for family life and also great for entertaining.

On entering the property, a covered outer porch leads through to a stunning inner vestibule with window to the side and with access from here into the main reception hall that features a grand staircase with timber balustrade and handrail to the upper floor accommodation. The hall leads to a breath-taking bay windowed lounge with south facing aspects, magnificent library shelving and a feature fireplace including an open fire. Adjacent to the lounge is a large sunny master bedroom again with large windows to the front enjoying south facing views of the garden. There is another double bedroom to the right of the lounge and a further double bedroom off the hall with an adjoining private shower room which is modern in design. A door from the rear of the hallway leads through to a rear passageway that gives access to a rear porch out to the gardens and also to the kitchen and adjacent dining room. The kitchen features an Aga stove and extensive wall mounted and counter level units with a central island workspace. Finally on the ground floor is the family bathroom which is beautifully presented and very contemporary, with attractive tiling on the floor and walls and with a bath (shower over), wc and two vanity units (one with wash hand basin). Moving from the reception hall, a staircase ascends via a half landing to the upper accommodation. On the half landing there is a door leading through to a sizeable box/store room and off the top landing there is access to two further double bedrooms, one of which is currently used as an office and offers fantastic views south across Helensburgh over to the Firth of Clyde.

Located in a quiet traffic free cul-de-sac, Knoxland is in an established part of Helensburgh and within easy walking distance of the town centre where there are an excellent selection of local shop, cafes, bars and restaurants along with supermarkets including Tesco, Co-op and slightly further away the Morrisons store. Local schools offer excellent education at primary and secondary level and there is also a private education option at Lomond School which also provides boarding facilities. Local transport links are excellent, with train services to Glasgow and Edinburgh running from Helensburgh Central train station and with Helensburgh Upper station offering services to the north and a sleeper service to London. The area is synonymous with those who enjoy the outdoors, with great recreational facilities in and around the town, with sailing on the Clyde and the Gare Loch and with nearby Loch Lomond providing iconic scenery, world class leisure facilities and accommodation. Glasgow is within easy commuting distance and can be reached by car in around forty minutes as can the International Airport via the A82 and Erskine Bridge. EPC Band - E.
