Beautiful upper conversion apartment with private garden and summer house . Enjoying one of Helensburgh’s premier addresses with spectacular views of the Firth of Clyde, this B listed William Leiper property is impeccably presented, combining stunning architectural features and detailing throughout with a high end modern specification. Comprehensively modernised, upgraded and remodelled by the current owner. With a private driveway access to the side of the building and its own private enclosed garden space, this is a stunning family home within easy reach of Helensburgh’s wide selection of amenities and easy commute to Glasgow and the west end..

On entering from Queen Street, an attractive shared tree lined driveway leads up to the property and splits in two with the right hand fork taking you up to a gravelled parking area at the side of the building. From here there is access to a substantial integral garage and to the right of this are the private gardens for 20A that feature a large lawned area, colourful bedded borders, all enclosed by mature trees, bushes, shrubs and hedging. There is a timber summer house included in the sale.

From the driveway a set of steps lead up to a shared entrance vestibule (with timber dado panelling) which in turn leads through in to the main reception hall of the property. This is a striking welcome in to the apartment featuring solid timber flooring, dado panelling, a high ceiling and decorative cornicing. The hall gives access to each of the rooms. On the left hand side of the hall is a beautiful formal lounge that takes in spectacular south facing aspects across Helensburgh and the Firth of Clyde. It features a fireplace at its focal point with a wood burning stove, lovely timber flooring and decorative cornicing. Next to the lounge is a good sized double bedroom, again enjoying south facing aspects towards the water and at the far end of the reception hall, the original lounge of the property has been cleverly converted and redesigned to form a stunning open plan formal dining room and kitchen. A bay window gives south facing views across the Clyde, there is a further window taking in views to the west and at its focal point is a simply jaw dropping period fire surround with gas fired stove. The room displays beautiful cornice work and a centre rose and at the rear, the kitchen has been designed with an island breakfast bar, hand crafted wall and counter level units and range of appliances. This is a fantastic space for entertaining and is the real focal point of the apartment. To the rear of this room is a further double bedroom with side facing window and adjacent to this is a wc compartment with wash hand basin. There is a further bedroom next to this, again being a double room with window to the rear. From the main reception hall, a passageway leads through to the rear of the apartment where there is a large traditional, yet modern bathroom that features a bath, shower enclosure, wc and wash hand basin. The flat is warmed by a system of gas fired central heating.
