33 Watson Avenue, Rutherglen, Glasgow, G73

Enjoying the benefit of a restored sandstone façade and a highly desirable position on the avenue with no houses opposite and uninterrupted views across the city skyline, this substantial five-apartment traditional family home is presented in first-class condition and boasts a remarkably private, relatively level south-facing rear garden.

Rich in period charm, the property retains a wealth of original features, including soaring ceilings heights in all rooms, original box panelled doors, stripped floorboards, intricate cornicing and centre roses, and detailed woodwork and architraves. These timeless elements are seamlessly complemented by modern upgrades, including a contemporary kitchen and recently installed bathroom, double glazing, and an efficient gas-fired central heating system powered by a Vokera combination boiler.

The home follows a traditional layout, beginning with a private vestibule that opens into a warm and welcoming reception hallway, where a staircase leads to the upper level and doors provide access to both ground-floor public rooms. To the front lies an elegant formal lounge, centred around a traditional fireplace and framed by a broad bay window that offers panoramic open views. To the rear, a versatile dining/sitting room overlooks the garden and flows through to a well-appointed kitchen, with an integrated oven and hob, space for freestanding appliances, and a door providing direct access to the garden.

On the upper half landing, a sleek three-piece family bathroom is well positioned for convenience. The main first-floor landing leads to two generous double bedrooms, including a magnificent principal room with a three-section bay window showcasing breathtaking views across the city skyline. A third, well-proportioned bedroom completes the accommodation.

Externally, the front garden is designed for easy maintenance and is enclosed by low-level stone walling with wrought iron fencing. To the rear, the south-facing garden is a true sanctuary - bathed in sunlight, not directly overlooked, and enclosed by mature hedging to either side and a full-height wall at the far end. A well-kept lawn, timber shed, and paved patio provide the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining and alfresco dining.

The property is quietly positioned within the much sought-after Bankhead district of Rutherglen and sits on hand for a host of local amenities including schools at both primary and secondary levels, shops, and public transport services. Nearby Rutherglen Main Street and Stonelaw Road provide a more extensive range of amenities including supermarkets, bars, restaurants, and train stations for easy commuting to Glasgow City Centre and the surrounding areas. In addition to this, there are excellent road links close by giving easy access to the Central Belt motorway network system.
