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
Occupying a highly desirable position within Bearsden's sought-after Thorn district, this three-bedroom semi-detached villa offers excellent potential for buyers seeking to create a superb family home tailored to their own tastes and requirements.

In addition, a pull-down Ramsay ladder provides access to a floored and lined loft, offering excellent storage space and potential for a variety of uses, subject to the necessary consents.
The property further benefits from gas central heating and double glazing. Externally, there are garden grounds to the front and rear, together with a driveway leading to a detached garage.
Westbourne Drive enjoys an enviable setting within the prestigious Thorn district of Bearsden, one of East Dunbartonshire's most desirable residential areas.

A wide selection of shops, supermarkets, restaurants, cafés and leisure facilities can be found within Bearsden and neighbouring Milngavie, while excellent road and rail links provide convenient access to Glasgow City Centre and beyond.
