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
9 Balmoral Drive is set back from the road, with a generous driveway leading to a detached single garage and a large rear garden that feels both established and beautifully cared for.
The current owner particularly enjoys the peace and tranquillity the garden and setting provide, something that immediately sets the tone for the property.
The home has been maintained with genuine care over the years, most recently a new roof in October 2022 a new shower room in June 2023 and a new boiler installed in February 2025.
It’s clear this is a home that has been properly looked after rather than simply lived in.
As a result, it presents in very good condition, while still offering clear scope for a new owner to update and shape it to their own taste over time.
The main living spaces are well proportioned and traditional in layout. A bright bay-windowed lounge sits to the front, while a separate dining room provides a more formal setting.
The kitchen is positioned to the rear, overlooking the garden, and connects naturally with the rest of the ground floor accommodation.
There are bedrooms on the ground level, alongside a well-maintained bathroom, making the house suitable for a range of buyers - whether that’s those looking to avoid stairs altogether or those thinking longer term.
Upstairs, additional living and bedroom space adds a valuable layer of flexibility.
As with many homes of this style, there is clear potential to further develop or extend, subject to the necessary consents.
What stands out here is the balance, a house that’s ready to move into, but not overdone. Solid and dependable, yet still full of opportunity.
Balmoral Drive sits within the ever-popular Garscube district, on the southern edge of Bearsden, close to the open green space of the Garscube Estate and within the catchment for Killermont Primary and Boclair Academy.
It also benefits from excellent connectivity, with a range of local transport options and routes nearby, including bus stops just a five-minute walk from the property.
It’s the kind of home that will mean different things to different people. For some, it’s a comfortable move straight in. For others, it’s the chance to create something more ambitious over time.
Whilst every effort is made by Yates Hellier to ensure the accuracy of these details, it should be noted that measurements are approximate and all information including service charges, parking, ground ownership and school catchment has been provided by the vendor and their accuracy cannot be guaranteed and should be verified through your solicitor and local council.
