38 Grenville Drive, Cambuslang, Glasgow, G72

Occupying arguably the finest position on Grenville Drive, this substantial detached residence occupies a raised position on an unusually generous plot, with a south-facing rear garden and attractive open views to the front across the greens of Cambuslang Bowling Club and towards the Glasgow skyline. Significantly extended, comprehensively refurbished and extensively remodelled both internally and externally, the property has undergone a remarkable transformation under the current ownership. The works extend well beyond the house itself, encompassing the complete reconfiguration and landscaping of the garden grounds, together with the creation of a detached granny flat at the rear. The result is a home that retains the character and proportions of its traditional origins while offering a standard of accommodation, specification and outdoor space rarely found within a property of this age. In every sense, this is a one-of-one home - a property of genuine individuality, offering a combination of scale, setting, accommodation and quality that is unlikely to be replicated within the area.

From the moment of arrival, the extent of the transformation is evident. An attractive entrance portico opens into a substantial reception hallway, with excellent storage and a staircase rising to the first floor. Throughout the house, the original proportions and character have been complemented by a comprehensive programme of improvement, including complete rewiring and replumbing, alongside a high standard of internal finish.

The principal reception accommodation is centred around an elegant front-facing lounge and a second substantial room, currently arranged as a double bedroom. Both rooms benefit from generous proportions, substantial bay windows and far-reaching views. The lounge is particularly impressive, with its broad bay window and period fireplace, while the adjacent bedroom offers considerable flexibility and could equally lend itself to use as a formal dining room or second sitting room.

Two further bedrooms are also located on the ground floor, one of which benefits from a beautifully appointed Jack-and-Jill shower room. This arrangement makes the ground floor particularly versatile, whether for family living, guests or those seeking the option of largely single-level accommodation.

At the rear, the extension has transformed the house, creating a spectacular full-width kitchen and family room of remarkable scale. Flooded with natural light, this impressive space has an almost effortless sense of volume and is ideally suited to both family life and entertaining.

The kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of storage and a full complement of integrated appliances, including a full-size fridge and freezer, eye-level oven, microwave, gas hob and dishwasher. A separate utility room lies immediately adjacent, while French doors open directly onto the rear garden, establishing a seamless connection between the living space and the grounds beyond.

The first floor is approached via a spacious landing which extends into the eaves and provides useful additional storage. Bedroom one is an impressive principal suite, featuring two walk-in wardrobes and a beautifully finished en-suite bathroom. Distinctive porthole-style windows add an appealing architectural detail while framing far-reaching views towards the Glasgow skyline.

Bedroom two is equally generous in proportion, with a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite shower room. French doors open directly onto a substantial private terrace, providing an elevated vantage point over the rear garden and surrounding outlook. This is a particularly appealing space for outdoor entertaining, whether enjoying drinks with friends or simply making the most of the setting.

The external transformation is equally significant. The front garden is predominantly laid to lawn and approached via a substantial driveway providing parking for multiple vehicles. To the rear, the grounds have been comprehensively reconfigured and landscaped to create an impressive and highly private outdoor setting. The south-facing garden combines an extensive patio with a broad area of lawn, while mature tree screening provides a remarkable degree of privacy. Not directly overlooked, it offers an unusually peaceful setting for outdoor dining, entertaining and family recreation, with the arrangement of the grounds having been carefully considered to complement the house and its elevated position.

A further and particularly notable addition is the substantial detached granny flat positioned within the rear grounds. Far removed from a conventional garden outbuilding, this fully equipped accommodation has been designed as a genuine extension of the property's living space. With power and lighting throughout, it incorporates a comfortable lounge, kitchen, separate bedroom and shower room, providing considerable flexibility for guests, older children, independent living or those working from home.

In summary, properties combining this degree of accommodation, quality and individuality are rarely available in Cambuslang. Here, the substantial extension and internal refurbishment have been complemented by a wholesale transformation of the external grounds and the creation of a fully equipped detached granny flat. Combined with the south-facing private garden, open outlook, extensive driveway and highly versatile accommodation, the result is a home of genuine distinction - quite unlike anything else currently available in the area.

Set within one of Old Cambuslang’s premier addresses, the house sits close to host of amenities including nurseries, schools at both primary and secondary levels, day-to-day shops, and a host of recreational facilities including Cambuslang tennis club and Kirkhill golf course. Kirkhill and Cambuslang train stations are a short walk away; the latter taking approximately 12 minutes to reach Glasgow Central station. In addition to this, there are excellent road links to the surrounding areas and the Central Belt motorway network.
