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
• Detached and extended four bedroomed villa • Highly desirable position in Milngavie’s Mains Estate • Fastidiously maintained across accommodation • Set upon large plot with great garden space – notably private south facing garden to rear • Attached garage and plenty off-street parking • PVCu double glazing and gas central heating (Worcester Bosch combination boiler) • Douglas Academy and Clober Primary catchment area • A superb family home Originally constructed by renowned local builder John Lawrence in the late 1970’s and cleverly extended via an addition to first floor level, this highly appealing detached villa is sure to attract interest from those looking to acquire a long-term family home.
Fastidiously maintained across the duration of our ownership (as first hand inspection along with review of the surveyor’s Home Report will corroborate), with scope for the successful bidder to employ their own tastes and ideas over time.
The property enjoys a superb position on Castle Mains Road, with a gradual elevation from road level ensuring privacy and quiet.
The size of the plot here is also worthy of note (great potential for further extension work – subject to necessary permissions) with a landscaped/well laid out rear garden (south facing) a really attractive feature here.
Our suite of HDR images, 360° immersive tour, HD video, and floor plan will allow for thorough desktop appraisal of the property, with a summary of the accommodation as follows: Summary of Accommodation - Entrance porch through to reception hallway - Cloakroom w/c - Lounge/dining room - Kitchen - Family bathroom - Four bedrooms – three doubles and additional single room Situation Mains Estate has long been sought after as a prime, residential development and enjoys a terrific location close by the excellent facilities of Douglas Academy.
The nearest primary school is at Clober, with St. Nicholas Primary to be found in Bearsden at Stockiemuir Road.
Milngavie Village Centre is pedestrianised and has a great range of shops and services, with stores including a number of interesting independents, together with the high street names of Boots, Marks & Spencers (food hall) and Tesco.
Close by the West of Scotland Rugby Ground, is a new Waitrose.
Surrounding Mains Estate is a residents’ woodland walkway, which is a terrific asset to have on ones’ doorstep, to simply take a stroll around or to walk the dog.
