About
Occupying an elevated position within one of Helensburgh’s most established and desirable residential areas, this elegant upper-floor conversion forms part of a traditional two-storey detached stone villa and enjoys outstanding open views across the Clyde Estuary.
From its raised vantage point, the property commands ever-changing coastal and estuary scenery, creating a striking backdrop throughout the day and particularly from the principal living areas, where large windows and feature window seating invite you to relax and take in the view.
The property is accessed via its own private entrance vestibule and staircase, leading to a generously proportioned first-floor layout that blends period character with comfortable modern living.
The welcoming reception hall is bright and spacious, with high ceilings and decorative cornicing setting the tone for the accommodation beyond.
The lounge is an impressive and airy space, featuring a character fireplace, bay window and original herringbone wooden flooring.
Original cornicing and high ceilings further enhance the room’s charm, while the elevated estuary outlook is perfectly framed from this position.
The breakfasting kitchen is well fitted with wall and floor units and offers excellent storage, including a traditional pantry and additional cupboard.
While the kitchen would benefit from a degree of modernisation, it is clean, bright and provides an excellent opportunity for a purchaser to put their own stamp on the space.
A large window floods the room with natural light and offers pleasant views over the gardens. The property offers three well-proportioned bedrooms.
The generous principal bedroom features an original fireplace, large window and attractive high ceilings.
The second double bedroom is also of excellent size with a large window and ample space for storage. The third bedroom is an ideal single room, bright and welcoming with lovely open views.
Throughout the property, alcove storage, fixed shelving and charming window seats enhance both practicality and character.
The shower room is bright, clean and spacious, comprising a large walk-in shower, wc and wash hand basin. Additional storage is provided by a large cupboard located at the top of the staircase.
Further benefits include mains gas supply, full gas-fired central heating and a mix of PVC double-glazed and traditional timber-framed windows, retaining the home’s period appeal while providing modern comfort.
There is also a large loft space, which again is perfect for storage.
Externally, the property enjoys landscaped garden grounds with lawned areas, a gently sloping gravel driveway, mature hedging and stone boundary walls.
A timber garage with attached potting shed provides useful additional storage.
The location is highly regarded, with Helensburgh town centre close by, offering a wide selection of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and leisure facilities, along with well-regarded schooling.
Scenic coastal walks are easily accessible, with sailing, water sports and outdoor pursuits available nearby. Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park is also within easy reach.
Excellent transport links include regular rail services direct to Glasgow, Edinburgh, Fort William & Oban and the London sleeper service can be picked up direct at the upper station.
There is swift access to the M8 motorway network and convenient routes to Glasgow Airport, making this an ideal home for those seeking a coastal lifestyle with strong commuter connections.
