Description

Designed and built by the admired architect, Murray Russell, this ground floor, Main Door three bedroomed Luxury Flat is part a standalone single building that provides the appearance of a single detached house – clever design. Built approximately 25 years ago it was specifically designed for those clients seeking less rooms but not less space, it is a hugely impressive flat with its own private entrance, and a large area of south-facing private garden. It has a single garage (in a block of two, shared with the upper flat, 6B) with a remote controlled garage door plus a three-car parking bay positioned in the area of private front garden for 6A.

It is located within the highly desirable Gartconnell district and is only a few minutes’ walk (approximately half a mile) to Bearsden Cross and the wide range of shops and amenities to be found there.

The property is built with a high specification and high standards of thermal and sound insulation. The exterior is finished in attractive facing brick, Redland ashlar, and render. Windows are top quality Danish timber framed double glazed units, the window and back door in the kitchen being more recent uPVC framed units. Central heating is gas with a Worcester system boiler.

As clients will see from our floor plan, and images, the subjects are not small. As a home it will suit those clients looking to downsize from the large family home, for retirement/semi-retirement along with appealing to professional couples and individuals. For an apartment to have a utility room is quite a bonus and in addition to the main bathroom (four-piece and including a shower enclosure) there is a second four-piece ensuite bathroom to the primary bedroom. All bedrooms are doubles with Bedrooms 1 and 2 particularly generous. Storage, generally, is excellent (again see floor plan).

It is fair to confirm that the specification of the house is original and as such buyers may well look to modernise the kitchen and utility room fitments, the sanitary ware, and import their own decorative style.

Garden

The garden lies to the rear of the building (south) and lies mainly to lawn and is bounded by beech and privet hedges. There are trees and mature shrubs for interest and privacy. Across the back of the property, accessed directly from the kitchen, is a large, slabbed, sun terrace/patio. The east side of the house a path connects the front and rear and to the side of which is a continuation of the east hedge. To the front the flat has it own three-car parking bay and owns the two shrub beds in front of the bedrooms windows as well as the very nicely panted Acer bed in the northeast corner.

The main area of driveway (all monobloc) is shared with the upper flat, for each access. The garage block houses two garages with 6As being the westernmost (remote controlled electric garage door).

Location

The property being within the Gartconnell area is just to the north of Bearsden Cross and therefore within easy reach of the excellent amenities to be found there. This includes a good range of independent retailers including Fishmonger, Butcher, Cafes, Restaurants, two Pharmacies and a well-stocked Post Office. There is a Marks & Spencer Foodhall. Bus services operate nearby on Drymen Road and along Roman Road and just south of Bearsden Cross is Bearsden Railway Station with its regular links to the West End and City Centre.
