2 Wardlaw Avenue, Rutherglen, Glasgow, G73

A spectacular stone-built family home, enjoying a commanding position at the corner of Wardlaw Avenue/Dunard Road, within a much sought-after and established pocket of Rutherglen.

The house retains an abundance of period features and provides well balanced and versatile family accommodation within six principal apartments formed over two levels, and with an impressive footprint of around 132 sq. m (1,421 sq. ft). In recent years the house has been subject to a sympathetic and full restoration programme, at considerable expense, bringing the property up to the highest of modern standards, which early internal inspection will reveal.

In terms of accommodation the property comprises a private entrance vestibule leading into a welcoming reception hallway with a sweeping staircase rising to the upper level. The hallway has a useful understairs storage cupboard and provides access to all ground floor apartments including a shower room and the rear hallway that leads to the garden. There is a striking formal lounge with fireplace detail to focal wall and an oriel bay window over the private gardens to front. The adjacent sitting room/fifth bedroom is a sizeable apartment and there is a large dining sized kitchen featuring a range of base and wall mounted storage units with solid wood work surface areas, inset sink, and there is a freestanding range cooker and ample space for appliances. On the half landing there is second shower room, and the main upper hallway provides access to four bedrooms; the principal having a freestanding rolltop bath within the oriel bay window area of the room – a real statement piece that is perfectly positioned to take in the splendid open views along Dunard Road. The specification includes double glazed windows, and the heating is mains gas via an Ideal Logic combination boiler.

Outside, there are sizeable gardens to front which are laid to lawn and bounded by high level hedging aiding in a good degree of privacy and seclusion. There is also access to a shared garden at the rear which is fully enclosed and meticulously maintained with a central lawn area and a variety of bordering shrubs and plants.

The property is quietly situated within an established pocket of Rutherglen and is conveniently placed for access to a host of excellent amenities including shops, supermarket, Overton Park, and public transport services. Rutherglen Main Street is less than a ten-minute walk from the property and offers a more extensive range of shopping facilities and Rutherglen train station. In addition to this, there are excellent road links close by giving easy access to Glasgow City Centre and the Central Belt motorway network system.
