11 Rodger Drive, Rutherglen, Glasgow, G73

A substantial period home, this attractive red sandstone-fronted semi-detached villa provides a generous six-apartment layout and stands within a large, level garden plot, with the rear garden enjoying a sunny south-facing orientation, in a highly regarded and established residential setting just a stone’s throw from Overtoun Park.

The property has been maintained to a high standard throughout and benefits from generous off-street parking together with a double garage at the rear. Many original features remain, tastefully balanced with modern upgrades including a contemporary fitted kitchen, a luxurious four-piece family bathroom, double glazing, and a system of gas central heating powered by a Vokera boiler installed in May of this year.

The entrance vestibule, with its original door featuring stained leaded glass and matching side panel, opens into a large reception hallway with staircase rising to the upper level. Off the hall lies a convenient two-piece WC.

The formal lounge is a truly impressive room, displaying an original fireplace with glass-fronted display cabinet to the focal wall, intricate ceiling cornice and plasterwork, and a broad bay window to the front. The modern kitchen is well-equipped with a range of base and wall-mounted units, an integrated oven, gas hob, and dishwasher, together with space for a freestanding fridge-freezer. From here, a side hallway gives direct access to the garden as well as to a versatile study or storeroom. A comfortable dining/sitting room overlooks the rear garden, creating a relaxed family space.

On the upper half landing sits a fully tiled, luxurious four-piece family bathroom comprising a large bath and separate double shower enclosure. The main upper landing with convenient pull down ladder providing access to an insulated and floored loft giving extra storage space, leads to four generous sized double bedrooms, the principal enjoying a broad bay window and open views to the front.

The south-facing rear garden is fully enclosed by perimeter walling and incorporates a wide expanse of lawn together with paved areas, ideal for entertaining or alfresco dining. The double garage has power and lighting and has been re-roofed in recent years. To the front, the garden is enclosed by low-level walling with wrought-iron fencing and mature hedging aiding privacy, while a neat lawn sits alongside the driveway which extends down the side of the property into the rear, providing excellent off-street parking for multiple vehicles.

The property occupies a highly convenient position, just a short walk from Overtoun Park, local shops and amenities on Stonelaw Road and Rutherglen Main Street. Kingsgate Retail Park is a brief drive to the southeast, while the area also boasts a variety of leisure facilities including golf courses, tennis clubs, and gyms. Excellent transport links are available, with regular bus services to Glasgow City Centre and nearby Rutherglen and Burnside train stations within walking distance. The Central Belt motorway network is also easily accessible, providing swift access to the wider area.
