About
A hugely appealing and surprisingly spacious traditional detached bungalow, set within established garden grounds in the popular Carrickarden district of Bearsden.
Extended over time, the property provides a highly adaptable arrangement that should have broad appeal, particularly to those looking for predominantly single-level living.
• Traditional red sandstone detached bungalow • Popular Carrickarden district of Bearsden, Bearsden Primary School and Bearsden Academy catchment • Impressive principal bedroom suite with sitting area, dressing room and en-suite, two further bedrooms • Family bathroom • Attic room with development potential subject to planning • Particularly spacious conservatory overlooking the rear garden • Established, mature garden grounds Externally, the house has an attractive red sandstone frontage and sits comfortably within mature gardens which provide a pleasant degree of screening.
To the rear, the garden is well established with areas of lawn, mature shrubs and planting, together with a broad paved terrace immediately adjacent to the house.
This creates a particularly attractive setting for the substantial conservatory, which forms an important extension of the everyday living space.
Internally, the accommodation has been developed and adapted over the years to create a flexible home with notably generous principal apartments.
The reception hall provides access to a spacious formal lounge, an impressive room extending to approximately 15'3" in length. The principal bedroom suite is particularly noteworthy.
An open arrangement combines a generous bedroom with an adjoining sitting area overlooking the rear garden, while a separate dressing room and en-suite bathroom complete what is a very substantial suite.
There are two further bedrooms on the ground floor, including a generous front-facing double bedroom of approximately 13'5" x 13'11", together with a third bedroom positioned towards the rear of the property.
A separate family bathroom serves these rooms. The kitchen is positioned at the rear and connects conveniently with the superb conservatory.
At approximately 17'7" x 10'9", this is an excellent additional living and dining space, with extensive glazing, a pitched glazed roof and French doors opening directly to the rear garden and terrace.
Filled with natural light and enjoying views over the established gardens, it provides an especially attractive space for informal dining and relaxation.
A staircase from the hall leads to useful attic accommodation. This comprises a sizeable main attic room, approximately 12'8" x 12'8", together with separate storage.
Whilst offering valuable ancillary space, purchasers should satisfy themselves regarding any required consents and the precise nature of its use.
