We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Set within the leafy and highly desirable Old Cathcart area of Glasgow’s South Side, 46 Rhannan Road is an impressive and exceptionally versatile 4-bedroom Victorian sandstone semi-detached villa, occupying a substantial private plot.
Rich in original period character yet superbly equipped for modern family living, the property is ideally positioned for Clarkston Road, Cathcart railway station, local amenities, schooling and green space.
Double-opening storm doors lead into an entrance vestibule, with an original decorative glazed door opening into the welcoming reception hallway.
Beautiful original timber floorboards, professionally sanded and refinished throughout within the last year, complement a magnificent sweeping carpeted split-level staircase with wrought-iron balustrade.
To the front, the elegant bay-windowed lounge retains an abundance of period detailing, including ornate cornicing, ceiling rose and bay-window panelling, together with a living-flame gas fire and marble surround.
The second reception/family room is currently used as a playroom but offers excellent flexibility as a dining room, 5th bedroom or additional sitting room.
A newly installed 2-piece WC sits beneath the staircase, alongside useful understair storage housing the controls for the property’s integrated alarm system.
To the rear is the superb breakfasting kitchen, installed in 2022, finished with lvt flooring and enjoying a bright dual-aspect outlook through 3 windows.
Stylish dove-grey cabinetry with contrasting gold handles is paired with a striking dark blue island, providing extensive storage and breakfast-bar seating.
The countertops are finished with sleek Carrera quartz stone and matching upstands.
The kitchen includes a high-end Samsung induction hob with downdraft extractor, Bosch oven and microwave/grill, integrated fridge/freezer, separate wine chiller, dishwasher and washing machine.
A double Belfast sink with instant boiling-water tap overlooks the rear garden, while a side door provides direct access to the patio and garden.
The staircase rises to a generous landing featuring original cornicing and a skylight, together with 2 storage cupboards, one shelved and the other housing the tumble dryer.
The impressive master bedroom occupies the front of the villa and features a bay window, intricate ceiling rose, ornate cornicing, picture rail and original floorboards, together with a built-in corner wardrobe system and useful shelved alcove.
Adjacent is a single bedroom, currently used as a nursery, but which could also be utilised as a fantastic home office.
A further generous double bedroom, with cornicing, picture rail and a capped fireplace, overlooks the rear of the property.
Returning down the split-level staircase to the rear level, there is a stylish bathroom with freestanding bath, wall panelling, tiled flooring, Milano-style radiator and vanity storage with marble worktop.
Alongside is a separate tiled shower room with rainfall shower, body jet and handset, vanity unit and illuminated anti-demister mirror with power/charging points.
A further generous double bedroom overlooking the rear garden completes the accommodation and benefits from original cornicing and integrated shelved storage.
Externally, the property occupies a substantial private plot.
Mature hedging provides excellent screening to the front, while a recently refreshed 2-car driveway leads to the attached single garage, which benefits from power and lighting.
A new 7kW EV charging point, integrated alarm system, Sky connectivity and access to both CityFibre and Virgin Media fibre networks add further modern convenience.
To the rear is a major highlight – the large, private south-facing garden.
Fully enclosed and predominantly laid to lawn, it features a wealth of mature shrubs, plants and established flower beds, creating a particularly leafy and secluded setting.
A generous patio incorporates a bespoke glazed-roof pergola, currently used as an outdoor kitchen, providing an excellent space for alfresco dining and entertaining.
There is also gated side access, rear access to the garage and access to the cellar.
A quiet, tree-lined mews lane with no through access runs alongside the east boundary wall, further enhancing the privacy and seclusion of the garden.
Old Cathcart is a popular leafy pocket of Glasgow’s South Side, well placed for the shops, cafés, supermarkets and amenities of Clarkston Road, with Muirend, Battlefield and Shawlands also easily accessible.
Cathcart railway station is approximately a 3-minute walk away, with journeys into Glasgow city centre taking around 12 minutes by train.
Linn Park is also nearby, along with excellent road and bus links.
