Description
The current owners have occupied the property for over thirty-two years, during which time they have invested extensively in its ongoing maintenance and thoughtful improvement. The result is a rare opportunity to acquire a handsome period home that successfully blends enduring character with the comfort, specification, and convenience demanded by modern living.
Externally, the property is finished in a combination of stone and render, set beneath well-maintained pitched roofs that were re-slated approximately twenty years ago. The majority of the double-glazed sash and case windows are bespoke units crafted by Mozolowski & Murray. Internally, the home is immaculately presented and retains a wealth of original features, including ornate cornicing, high skirtings, box-panelled doors, and a striking staircase with its original Brazilian parana pine banister and spindles.
The accommodation begins with a charming entrance vestibule leading into an immediately impressive reception hallway, complete with staircase to the upper level and a convenient under-stair storage cupboard. To the front of the house, the formal lounge features a bay window, original fireplace, intricate cornicing, and a wood-burning stove. Opposite, the elegant dining room mirrors these features with its own bay window, period fireplace, and detailed cornice work.
To the side of the property is a bedroom providing access to a well-appointed shower room and a utility/kitchen area. This space previously served as self-contained granny accommodation, benefitting from its own external door to the side of the property. Adjacent is a generous study, enjoying views over and direct access to the rear garden. From here, there is access to the superb garden room - a delightful space for both relaxation and entertaining - with doors leading to the garden, the garage, and the kitchen. The kitchen can also be accessed independently from the main hallway.
The kitchen itself was professionally refitted by John Lewis approximately ten years ago and features an extensive range of base and wall mounted units, high-end integrated appliances, quartz worktops, and a breakfast bar. The main family bathroom and downstairs shower room have both been upgraded, and within the past three years an en-suite shower room has been added to one of the bedrooms. Heating is provided by a gas-fired central heating system, powered by a Worcester boiler installed around three years ago and controlled via a Hive smart system.
On the upper level, a spacious double-aspect half landing, offering excellent potential as a relaxing seating area or study, leads to a luxurious family bathroom fitted with a five-piece suite. The main landing provides access to four generous double bedrooms, two of which feature bay windows, along with a fifth single bedroom. One bedroom benefits from the convenience of an en-suite shower room. There is also a hatch with a pull-down ladder providing access to a substantial floored attic, which offers further development potential, subject to the necessary consents.
The property occupies a well-screened and private plot, surrounded by mature trees. To the front, a horseshoe driveway provides ample off-street parking and leads to an attached double tandem garage, equipped with an EV charging point, powered door, lighting, sockets, and access directly into the house. To the rear, the expansive, south-facing garden features a large lawn bordered by established trees, shrubs, and plants, along with paved patio areas - ideal for family gatherings and al fresco dining.
The affluent suburb of Burnside, located to the southeast of the city, boasts a wide range of handsome detached and semi-detached family homes, and is widely regarded as one of the most desirable residential areas to be found on the south side of the city. This thriving community includes a number of distinguished schools including Burnside, Calderwood and St Mark's primary schools with Stonelaw High School and Fernhill private school within close proximity. There are bus pickups for private schools such as Hamilton College, the High School of Glasgow, Hutchesons' Grammar School, Craigholme School for Girls, Kelvinside Academy and Glasgow Academy. Burnside and Rutherglen have train stations with excellent commuter links to Glasgow city centre.
The area provides a range of amenities catering for day-to-day needs including a local supermarket, Burnside Blairbeth parish church, pharmacies, health care facilities, filling station, tennis, and bowling clubs. For golf enthusiasts, Cathkin Braes and Kirkhill golf courses are within three miles of the property.
