4 Douglas Drive, Cambuslang , Glasgow, G72

Dating from circa 1885, this exceptional detached stone-fronted villa occupies a substantial, mature garden plot within one of Cambuslang’s most sought-after residential pockets. Extending to approximately 228 sq. m (2,454 sq. ft), the property is a fine example of a distinguished period home, seamlessly combining architectural elegance with carefully considered contemporary upgrades. Having been meticulously maintained and sympathetically enhanced over nearly twenty years of ownership, the house is presented in true turnkey condition.

The accommodation is both extensive and versatile, comprising eight principal apartments arranged over two levels. A wealth of original features has been thoughtfully preserved, including impressive ceiling heights, ornate cornicing, detailed woodwork and architraves, original box-panelled doors, some working window shutters, stained glass detailing, and cast-iron radiators within the ground floor apartments and upper hallway. These characterful elements are complemented by high-quality modern finishes, including a well-appointed kitchen (refitted approximately nine years ago), a stylish shower room, and a recently renewed family bathroom. Further practical benefits include a system of gas-fired central heating via an efficient Worcester boiler (installed in 2015), double glazing, many of which have been replaced in recent years, premium flooring throughout - including oak flooring to the hall and sitting room - and a security alarm system for added peace of mind.

The internal layout comprises a welcoming entrance vestibule leading to a broad and elegant reception hallway, complete with storage and a staircase rising to the upper level. The principal lounge is an impressive bay-windowed apartment, rich in period detail and featuring an open fireplace, while a separate front-facing sitting room offers additional flexibility. To the rear, a generously proportioned dining room enjoys pleasant views over the garden. The breakfasting kitchen is particularly well equipped, incorporating a range of Bosch appliances including a double oven, induction hob, dishwasher and fridge freezer, and flows through to a large utility room with direct garden access. A contemporary shower room completes the ground floor accommodation, while a striking stained-glass window provides a focal point at half-landing level.

Upstairs, a spacious hallway gives access to four well-proportioned double bedrooms and a separate study. The principal bedroom is enhanced by a feature fireplace, and there is a beautifully appointed family bathroom.

Externally, the property is set within generous and private garden grounds. The rear garden is particularly appealing, offering a secluded setting with mature tree screening, a well-maintained lawn, and a substantial split-level decking area ideally suited to family living and entertaining. A substantial main basement, complete with power and lighting, provides excellent storage and is further complemented by an additional separate basement area. An attached double garage offers further practicality, with front access, rear door to the garden, internal lighting and power, as well as an electric vehicle charging point.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a home of notable character and scale, where period charm and modern comfort are combined to create a truly impressive family residence.

Situated in Old Cambuslang, the house sits close to host of amenities including nurseries, schools at both primary and secondary levels, a host of recreational facilities, Kirkhill golf course, tennis club and a variety of day-to-day shops on Main Street. Kirkhill and Cambuslang train stations are a short walk away and there are excellent road links to the surrounding areas and the Central Belt motorway network.
