18 Blairtum Drive, Burnside, Glasgow , G73

An exceptional semi-detached Victorian villa, this impressive home sits on a lovely garden plot in one of Burnside’s most prestigious addresses, just moments from the varied amenities of Stonelaw Road. Retaining many period features, it is brimming with original character and charm, complemented by thoughtful upgrades and a clever reconfiguration at the rear that enhances modern family living.

The home has been finished with quality floor coverings, including solid wood in the hallway and two public rooms, a contemporary fitted kitchen with Corian worktops, and a recently installed luxurious four-piece family bathroom with freestanding bath and separate double shower enclosure. Double glazing is installed throughout, with most windows replaced while retaining original stained glass in the top sashes. A highly efficient gas central heating system, featuring cast iron column-style radiators and a Worcester boiler installed around four years ago with a smart Hive controller, ensures warmth and comfort, while a burglar alarm provides added security.

Accommodation follows a traditional layout, beginning with an entrance vestibule opening into a striking reception hallway with cloakroom cupboard and guest W.C. The elegant formal lounge features a fireplace as its focal point and a broad bay window overlooking the front garden. A side-facing dining room, which could also serve as a fifth bedroom, features a fireplace detail and a large bay window. The kitchen flows seamlessly into a rear sitting/garden room, offering views and direct access to the garden. The kitchen itself has been extensively fitted with a range of base and wall units, a breakfast bar, and integral appliances including fridge freezer, washing machine, wine chiller, Neff microwave, oven, and induction hob.

Upstairs, the half-landing leads to a bedroom/study and the stunning four-piece bathroom. The upper landing provides access to three further bedrooms, two of which are generous in size with bay windows, while the principal bedroom benefits from bespoke curved wardrobes offering excellent storage.

Externally, the front garden is designed for low maintenance, with a driveway running the length of the property to a large double garage with power, lighting, and a remote-controlled door. The rear garden is bathed in natural light, fully enclosed, and features an artificial lawn along with paved seating areas, ideal for entertaining or alfresco dining.

Blairtum Drive is ideally positioned within walking distance of shops and amenities on Stonelaw Road, with more extensive facilities available on Rutherglen Main Street and at Kingsgate Retail Park, just a short drive away. The area offers excellent recreational options, including parks, bowling and golf clubs, tennis courts, and gyms, as well as highly regarded primary and secondary schools. Transport links are well served by regular bus routes and Burnside train station, while the Central Belt motorway network provides easy access to surrounding areas.
