33 Johnstone Drive, Rutherglen, Glasgow, G73

Perfectly positioned in the heart of Rutherglen, this exceptional red sandstone-fronted mid-terraced villa occupies a beautifully maintained garden plot with a desirable south-facing rear aspect. Offering a superbly balanced and versatile five-apartment layout, the home is further enhanced by a substantial floored and lined attic room featuring a dormer window and impressive open views across the surrounding district and towards the Cathkin Braes.

The property has been significantly upgraded in recent years and is presented to the market in true walk-in condition. Early viewing will confirm the high standard of finish throughout, with notable improvements including a stylishly re-fitted kitchen, an extensively appointed utility room (formerly the original kitchen), and a contemporary upgraded bathroom. Further benefits include a system of gas-fired central heating via a Vaillant combination boiler, tasteful décor, and quality floor coverings throughout.

A wealth of traditional character has been carefully retained, with original woodwork, box-panelled doors, decorative fireplaces, ornate ceiling cornicing, and intricate plasterwork all adding to the home’s timeless appeal. The original painted glass remains intact within the main entrance and the front facing windows which have been upgraded to UPVC double glazing along with all rear windows being double glazed.

The accommodation is entered via glazed storm doors leading into a practical entrance vestibule, which in turn opens to a warm and welcoming reception hallway complete with fitted cloaks storage, a separate guest WC, and the original staircase to the upper level. To the front, the elegant bay-windowed lounge provides an impressive main public room, centered around an attractive focal point fireplace.

The kitchen is particularly impressive, thoughtfully designed complemented by solid wood work surfaces, a double Belfast ceramic sink, freestanding range cooker, integrated microwave and dishwasher, together with ample space for additional freestanding appliances. Adjacent to the kitchen, the generously proportioned utility room has been extensively fitted and provides direct access to the rear gardens.

The original sweeping staircase rises to a half-landing where a beautifully appointed upgraded contemporary bathroom is situated. The main upper landing gives access to three exceptionally spacious double bedrooms, two of which retain original fireplaces and excellent built-in storage. The principal bedroom is especially striking, featuring a broad four-section bay window to the front.

A fixed staircase leads to the substantial attic room, which offers excellent flexibility. This room is flooded with natural light from both dormer and Velux window formations, this impressive space also benefits from a large walk-in eaves’ storage area.

Externally, the front garden has been designed for ease of maintenance and is enclosed by perimeter walling and wrought iron fencing, with gated access leading to the front entrance. The fully enclosed south-facing rear garden is beautifully maintained and incorporates a level lawn, paved pathways, and a generous patio/seating area, providing an ideal setting for outdoor entertaining and family enjoyment.

The property occupies a highly convenient position, just a short walk from Overtoun Park, local shops and amenities on Stonelaw Road and Rutherglen Main Street. Kingsgate Retail Park is a brief drive to the southeast, while the area also boasts a variety of leisure facilities including golf courses, tennis clubs, and gyms. Excellent transport links are available, with regular bus services to Glasgow City Centre and nearby Rutherglen and Burnside train stations within walking distance.
