23 Highburgh Drive, Burnside, Glasgow, G73

An exceptionally impressive, stone-fronted period villa - offered to the market for the first time in 37 years - offering substantial family accommodation across two levels, set on a generous south-facing garden plot within one of Burnside’s most sought-after addresses.

This lovingly maintained and significantly upgraded family home combines the charm of its original features with modern enhancements, creating a perfect blend of tradition and contemporary living. Thoughtfully extended to the rear, the property now boasts a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining, and sitting area - often considered the true 'hub of the home' and a key priority for families seeking spacious, versatile living.

Recent improvement works completed toward the end of 2024 have significantly enhanced the property. These include the installation of a stylish ground-floor shower room, a professionally fitted kitchen equipped with high-quality integrated appliances, and a new Alpha gas boiler. Fresh décor throughout and some newly replaced floor coverings further elevate the home’s presentation. Original cast iron column radiators feature in all main apartments, while double glazing - retaining the original stained leaded glass in the upper sashes of the front-facing windows - works in harmony with the gas-fired central heating system to ensure year-round comfort.

Accommodation begins with a welcoming entrance vestibule leading into a grand reception hallway, complete with a staircase to the upper level and access to all main ground-floor apartments. The newly fitted shower room is conveniently located here. At the front of the property, the elegant formal lounge features decorative ceiling plasterwork, a large centre rose, a focal-point fireplace, and a large bay window overlooking the manicured front garden.

To the rear, a flexible formal dining or family room leads through to the expansive kitchen/dining/sitting area, which spans the full width of the home and opens directly onto the south-facing rear garden - ideal for entertaining or family life. The kitchen is exceptionally well-equipped with a wide range of wall and base units and integrated appliances including an electric double oven, gas hob, dishwasher, and a freestanding fridge freezer. A generous utility room lies just off the kitchen, providing additional workspace and internal access to the attached garage.

On the upper level, a spacious landing provides access to three well-proportioned double bedrooms, including a superb principal bedroom with a broad bay window offering open views to the front. A large family bathroom is located on the half-landing, adjacent to a sizeable storage cupboard - formerly a separate W.C. - which could be reinstated or used to extend the existing bathroom.

Externally, the property enjoys a well-tended front garden with a lawn bordered by low-level walling and mature hedging, alongside a driveway providing off-street parking and access to the garage. To the rear, the south-facing garden is bathed in natural light and enjoys excellent tree screening, ensuring a high degree of privacy. Predominantly laid to lawn, this tranquil space offers an ideal setting for outdoor relaxation and entertaining.

Highburgh Drive is ideally positioned within walking distance of shops and amenities on Stonelaw Road, with more extensive facilities available on Rutherglen Main Street and at Kingsgate Retail Park, just a short drive away. The area offers excellent recreational options, including parks, bowling and golf clubs, tennis courts, and gyms, as well as highly regarded primary and secondary schools. Transport links are well served by regular bus routes and Burnside train station, while the Central Belt motorway network provides easy access to surrounding areas.
