About
Ferhome Estate Agents are delighted to present this charming five-bedroom detached sandstone family villa, situated within one of Helensburgh's most desirable residential locations.
Beautifully maintained and sympathetically upgraded by the current owners, this impressive home effortlessly combines modern family living with a wealth of stunning Victorian period features.
Occupying a generous south-facing plot, the property enjoys beautifully landscaped gardens designed for both relaxation and family life.
The grounds feature attractive outdoor dining and entertaining areas, well-maintained level lawns, mature shrubs, established flower beds, and original stone boundary walls that provide privacy and character.
A substantial driveway offers off-street parking for multiple vehicles, while the secure garden provides an ideal environment for children and pets to enjoy safely.
The internal accommodation is both spacious and versatile.
A magnificent entrance hallway sets the tone for the home, leading to a bright and elegant bay-windowed lounge complete with ornate cornicing and a welcoming wood-burning stove.
The formal dining room offers an excellent space for entertaining and features a contemporary gas-fired stove, while a second sitting room, currently utilised as a family room and playroom, benefits from a further wood-burning stove.
The heart of the home is the impressive dining kitchen, fitted with attractive shaker-style cabinetry, solid worktops, a breakfast bar, Rangemaster cooker, and a range of integrated appliances.
Off the kitchen is a practical utility room, together with direct access to the substantial double garage, which is currently used as a gym and additional storage space.
The kitchen also provides access to the side garden, where a sunny patio creates the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining during the summer months, alongside a productive vegetable garden.
A convenient downstairs WC completes the ground floor accommodation. A beautiful curved staircase with its original cast-iron balustrade leads to the upper levels.
The half landing hosts a generous double bedroom featuring built-in wardrobes and an en-suite shower room.
The upper floor offers four further well-proportioned bedrooms, many of which enjoy lovely views across the surrounding neighbourhood towards the Clyde Estuary.
These rooms are serviced by a spacious family bathroom featuring a freestanding bath and separate shower.
Externally, the garden grounds have been meticulously maintained and provide ample outdoor space for families seeking a home that balances character, comfort, and lifestyle.
