Occupying a prime position within one of Bearsden's most established and sought-after residential pockets, this magnificent Victorian semi-detached villa dates from circa.
1900 and offers an exceptional blend of period elegance, contemporary comfort and versatile family accommodation extending to approximately 2,200 square feet.
Immediately impressive from first glance, the property showcases the architectural character synonymous with the era, with its striking façade combining crisp white render, red brick detailing, elegant bay window formations and a traditional slate roof.
Behind the handsome exterior lies a beautifully presented home, where original features sit effortlessly alongside high-quality modern finishes, creating a warm, stylish and highly functional family environment.
The accommodation is both expansive and adaptable. A welcoming entrance vestibule leads into a broad reception hallway, with staircase and access to all lower apartments.
