42 Scioncroft Avenue, Rutherglen, Glasgow, G73

Set within a small, prestigious avenue in the heart of Rutherglen, this substantial family home offers a versatile five-apartment layout, complemented by excellent off-street driveway parking, a single garage, and a charming, mature rear garden.

Such is the rarity of these period homes that this is the first time the property has been available on the open market in over fifty-five years. During that time, it has been meticulously maintained and thoughtfully enhanced, including the addition of a contemporary en-suite shower room to the principal bedroom in 2022 - a scarcely seen addition to a period home. A convenient guest W.C. has also been introduced on the ground floor, and the property benefits from double glazing and gas-fired central heating throughout.

In terms of accommodation, twin-leaf glazed storm doors open into a private vestibule and welcoming reception hallway, with a staircase rising to the upper level and access to all ground-floor rooms, including the guest w.c. The elegant formal lounge features a period fireplace, decorative ceiling cornice, and intricate plasterwork, while a broad bay window allows natural light to flood the room and offers views over the front garden. To the rear, the family/dining room provides a comfortable setting with a Limestone fireplace and gas fire, installed approximately seven years ago. The adjacent kitchen offers direct access to the rear garden and is well-appointed with a range of base and wall-mounted storage units, along with ample space for freestanding appliances.

Upstairs, on the half landing, there is a large four-piece family bathroom. The main upper hallway provides access to three generously proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from a broad bay window with open views to the front and a luxurious en-suite shower room.

Externally, the property provides enclosed off-street parking at the front, accommodating multiple vehicles. At the rear, the garden offers a private retreat, enclosed by a combination of full-height timber fencing and mature trees, and features a spacious level lawn, patio areas, a summerhouse, and a single garage.

The property is quietly positioned within a highly desirable pocket of Rutherglen and is conveniently placed for access to all local amenities including schools at both primary and secondary levels, shops, supermarkets, eateries and excellent public transport services including Burnside & Rutherglen train stations, both a short walking distance away. In addition to this, there are excellent road links close by giving easy access to Glasgow City Centre and the Central Belt motorway network system.

The Energy Performance rating on this property is Band D.
