Lower Sutherland Crescent, Helensburgh, G84

Ferhome Estate Agents are proud to bring to the market this exceptional five-bedroom sandstone detached villa, set within arguably one of the finest residential addresses in Helensburgh.

Situated within a highly regarded conservation area, Lower Sutherland Crescent is an exclusive, tree-lined enclave comprising just nine striking Victorian villas. Located on the ever-popular lower west side of town, the setting is perfectly suited to family living, with open outlooks across a shared paddock and immediate access to the beautiful Duchess Woods.

Number 9 is a handsome and substantial period residence, occupying generous, mature grounds that offer privacy, space and a wonderful sense of seclusion. The gardens are a standout feature, with sweeping lawns, well-stocked borders, established trees and inviting patio areas ideal for entertaining. A large garage and gravelled parking area are positioned to the rear.

Extending to approximately 2,700 square feet, the accommodation is arranged over two levels and offers a superb balance of formal and informal living space. The home retains a wealth of original Victorian character — including ornate cornicing and cast iron radiators — seamlessly combined with tasteful modern finishes. Large windows throughout flood the interiors with natural light.

The ground floor is centred around an impressive reception hall, leading to an elegant living room and family room, both perfectly proportioned for entertaining. A flexible study provides an ideal home office and could readily serve as a fifth bedroom if required. A convenient WC/cloakroom is also located off the hall. To the rear, a dining room connects effortlessly to a generous kitchen designed for contemporary living, complemented by a separate utility/boot room. Both the kitchen and utility room provide direct access to the front and rear gardens, enhancing the home’s indoor-outdoor flow.

Upstairs, four well-proportioned double bedrooms offer excellent family accommodation, including a charming principal bedroom with bay window. Completing the upstairs accommodation, there are two family bathrooms. 

This represents a rare opportunity to acquire a distinguished and beautifully presented Victorian villa within one of Helensburgh’s most prestigious and tightly held addresses

The property further benefits from full planning permission for a two-storey side extension (Planning Ref: 24/01171/PP), offering exciting potential for those wishing to expand, although the existing layout already provides generous living space.

Positioned on the north shore of the Firth of Clyde, Helensburgh is celebrated for its Victorian and Edwardian architecture, leafy surroundings and coastal setting. Architectural highlights include The Hill House by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, located just minutes away.

The town enjoys excellent transport connections. Helensburgh Central railway station offers frequent services to Glasgow Queen Street railway station and Edinburgh Waverley railway station, while Helensburgh Upper railway station, on the West Highland Line, provides routes to Oban, Fort William and Glasgow.

Families are well catered for, with highly regarded local schooling including Hermitage Academy and Lomond School, an established independent day and boarding school offering the International Baccalaureate.
