Westerton Avenue, Bearsden

Arguably one of the finest homes of its kind, this exceptional four/five bedroom semi-detached villa has been successfully extended and comprehensively upgraded to create an outstanding family home extending to in excess of 2,200 sq ft. Beautifully presented, incredibly versatile and with a superb connection between its indoor and outdoor spaces, this is a home where considerable time, thought and investment have created something very special.

Immediately impressive from the kerbside, the property has a striking traditional frontage and offers beautifully finished accommodation over three levels. The result is a home that successfully combines the character and proportions of the original villa with the space, specification and open-plan living demanded by modern family life.

A welcoming entrance hallway sets the tone for the accommodation. To the front is a beautiful bay-windowed lounge, finished in stylish neutral décor and centred around a feature gas fireplace. Generous yet cosy, it is an elegant space for relaxing and entertaining.

A large opening connects the lounge with the formal dining room, which can also be independently accessed from the hallway, creating a wonderful flow through the ground floor. The dining room has a completely different atmosphere, with a feature stove providing a superb focal point and making this an especially inviting room on winter evenings.

From here, the house opens dramatically into what is undoubtedly one of its defining features - the exceptional rear dining kitchen and family room.

Extending to almost 30 feet across, this is a phenomenal everyday living and entertaining space. The kitchen itself is fitted with an extensive range of quality wall and floor units, complemented by integrated appliances and a large breakfast bar ideal for casual dining. Alongside this is ample space for a substantial dining table as well as a comfortable family sitting area, allowing children to relax or watch television while dinner is being prepared and making it a genuinely sociable heart of the home.

Wide bi-folding doors open directly onto the rear gardens, flooding the room with natural light and creating a seamless transition outside during the warmer months. Whether hosting friends, enjoying summer barbecues or simply opening the doors while the children play in the garden, it is difficult to imagine a better family space.

Also positioned to the rear is an additional playroom/family room or home office, complete with patio doors directly onto the garden. This is an extremely versatile room which could equally provide a fifth bedroom when required - ideal for guests, older children or a family needing bedroom accommodation at ground-floor level.

Completing this level is a stylish shower room and a particularly useful utility room, which in turn provides internal access to the garage - another thoughtful feature for busy family life.

The first floor continues the impressive standard of accommodation. The principal bedroom is an excellent size, with a beautiful bay window to the front and fitted wardrobes providing excellent storage. There are two further generously proportioned bedrooms on this level together with a superb family bathroom, fitted with a fresh white three-piece suite and shower over the bath.

The upper level provides a magnificent fourth bedroom. A particularly spacious double room, it offers tremendous flexibility and could make a fantastic bedroom for a teenager, guest suite, games room or additional family space.

The gardens are every bit as impressive as the interior. The enclosed South-facing rear garden enjoys excellent sunny aspects and has been thoughtfully landscaped to create an attractive yet practical environment for family life. Mature plants, trees and shrubs provide colour and privacy, while an artificial lawn creates a low-maintenance play area for kids.

There are two separate patio areas, allowing you to follow the sun throughout the day and providing fantastic spaces for outdoor dining, barbecues and entertaining.

A particularly notable addition is the detached garden room, currently arranged as a stylish bar/home office. It is a brilliant extension of the main house - equally suited as a dedicated workspace, entertaining room, gym or a much sought-after hideaway for teenagers.

To the front, a private driveway provides off-street parking and leads to the single garage.
The location completes the package. Westerton Avenue occupies an incredibly convenient position on the Glasgow side of Bearsden, giving owners the best of both worlds - easy access to Bearsden and its excellent amenities while remaining exceptionally well placed for Glasgow's West End.

Westerton Railway Station is nearby, providing excellent rail connections, while the surrounding area offers a wealth of local amenities, green spaces and schooling. Bearsden Cross, Anniesland and the wider West End are all readily accessible, making this an especially attractive base for families who want generous suburban living without sacrificing convenient access into Glasgow.

45 Westerton Avenue is much more than an extended semi-detached villa. It is an exceptional, beautifully considered family home where every part of the accommodation has a purpose. With over 2,200 sq ft, four excellent bedrooms, multiple reception spaces, an outstanding open-plan kitchen/family room, superb gardens and a separate garden room, homes offering this combination of space, finish and location are exceptionally difficult to find.
