5 Peveril Avenue, Burnside, Glasgow, G73

Set within one of the area's most prestigious and tightly held addresses, this distinguished Victorian semi-detached villa occupies an enviable position on the preferred side of Peveril Avenue, enjoying a generous south-facing rear garden. Rich in period character and original architectural detail, this is a home of considerable substance and significance, offered to the open market for the first time in fifty-five years.

Extended during the 1970s to provide additional family accommodation, the property now offers an exceptionally spacious six-apartment layout arranged over two levels, presenting an exciting opportunity for the next owner to sympathetically modernise and create a truly outstanding family home. The property has been carefully maintained over the years, with notable improvements including a re-tiled roof approximately seven years ago, benefiting from the balance of a 20-year guarantee. Original sash and case windows remain to the front elevation, complete with attractive stained/leaded glass upper sashes, while a system of gas-fired central heating is provided by a Worcester boiler.

The accommodation begins with an entrance vestibule leading to a magnificent reception hallway, an impressive introduction to the home, where two generously sized storage cupboards offer the potential to create a cloakroom or shower room, subject to the necessary consents.
To the front, the elegant formal lounge is a room of exceptional proportions, centred around a magnificent four-section bay window overlooking the front gardens, allowing natural light to flood the space while highlighting the home's beautiful period features. The separate dining room enjoys the unusual distinction of a three-section bay window to the side elevation, creating another superb reception space equally suited to formal entertaining or everyday family living.

To the rear, the spacious dining kitchen provides ample room for family meals and social gatherings, with direct access to a conservatory overlooking the garden. Beyond lies a sizeable laundry room together with a separate WC, offering excellent practicality and further access to the rear garden.

The half-landing hosts a generously proportioned double bedroom together with a well-appointed five-piece family bathroom. On the upper floor, the broad landing provides access to two particularly impressive bay-windowed double bedrooms, a further generous single bedroom and a ceiling hatch with pull-down ladder leading to the attic, providing valuable additional storage.

Externally, the rear garden enjoys a highly desirable southerly aspect and has been beautifully established over many years, featuring an extensive paved patio, a broad expanse of lawn and mature planted borders with a variety of trees and shrubs. Excellent screening to the rear affords a high degree of privacy, creating a wonderfully peaceful setting for outdoor enjoyment. To the front, a driveway provides ample off-street parking, complemented by a lawn and mature shrub borders.

Peacefully situated within a quiet residential avenue, the property enjoys an enviable location just a short stroll from the excellent selection of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities found along Stonelaw Road. A wider range of retail and leisure facilities are available on Rutherglen Main Street, while Kingsgate Retail Park is only a few minutes' drive away.
