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.

Description Bearsden and has many notable homes and amongst them is this striking 1930s residence in the admired and leafy Lochend district.
Totally unique for the area, the house is of a sizeable scale (refer to floor plans), extending to nearly 4000 sq ft, in addition to which is a very useful basement level with three storage rooms and the property’s double garage.
With five bedrooms (all generous doubles) and essentially 4 public rooms, it is a home to accommodate almost all families and with its large garden, including an enclosed tennis court, room to enjoy the outdoors too.
The house is brick-built and presents an impressive façade, with broad, sweeping, steps leading up to the stone porticoed front door.
Beyond this is the property’s amazing hall, staircase, and galleried upper hall, all featuring stained leaded windows. With the timber clad ceilings, it really is quite an entree to the house.
Our client has owned the property since 1999 and in that time has maintained it well.
It is fair to state, however, that kitchen fitments, some of the sanitary ware, decor, and some windows are of a vintage and as such evident scope presents the buyer to add subsequent value.
Undoubtedly, the purchaser will view the house as a generational purchase and in this regard, it is the first opportunity in over a quarter century to acquire this much-admired Bearsden home.
Summary of Accommodation Ground Floor Entrance vestibule. Grand hall. WC. Lounge with stone Minster fireplace and living flame, log, gas fire.
Sunroom with four arched windows, including central French door set to a large sun terrace. Large dining room with period fireplace (living flame gas fire again) and French doors to the terrace.
Family sitting room, again with French doors, featuring a reproduction Victorian style fireplace with another living flame gas fire.
The kitchen has a dedicated dining/morning room area for daily dining with kitchen units in oak, farmhouse design (integrated appliances as seen will be included).
Off the kitchen is a handy pantry, and a rear hallway leads to the utility room and a small shower compartment with WHB.
First Floor The staircase ascends past the feature, front facing, stained leaded windows, to a large upper hall overlooking the reception hall below.
There are five double bedrooms (four particularly large) with bedroom 1 and 2 having ensuite shower rooms, that to bedroom 1 being very modern and up to date.
To service bedrooms 3 to 5 is a four-piece bathroom with shower enclosure.
Basement Level Extending itself to some 1195 sq ft (111 sq m) it can be accessed, via a staircase, from the reception hall or via the double garage door.
There are three large storerooms here and the double garage. Garden The garden has been much cared for and has an abundance of specimen planting.
The front garden is a burst of colour in spring and summer and features a large monobloc “in-and-out” driveway for several cars. The southeast facing rear garden is expansive.
A large sun terrace runs across the back of the house, accessed from three of the public rooms.
Beyond this is a rockery, a large level lawn, the tennis court, pathways, and to the side of the house a lower garden with pond and a glorious Acer.
Pathways lead around the garden and in addition to the terrace, there are other sheltered seating spots.
All is enclosed by hedging, fencing, planting, and gates to provide a safe environment for kids.
Situation Lochend is a leafy, tree lined, district to the southwest of Bearsden Cross, the house being some 0.5 miles from this and only 0.3 miles from Bearsden railway station.
