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
Ferhome Estate Agents are delighted to present this impressive Category B listed, William Leiper-designed three-bedroom upper conversion, ideally positioned on the highly desirable lower west side of Helensburgh.
Rich in character and period charm, the property retains a number of beautiful original features, most notably the ornate stained-glass windows within the hallway.
Accessed via an internal staircase to the rear, the accommodation opens into a spacious and bright lounge featuring an attractive bay window overlooking the front gardens.
A cosy wood-burning stove with an elegant marble surround provides a wonderful focal point to the room. The kitchen is fully functional and offers space for a small dining table and chairs.
While it would benefit from modernisation, it presents an excellent opportunity for the new owner to create a kitchen tailored to their own taste and requirements.
There are three generously proportioned double bedrooms.
The principal bedroom is particularly charming, with a gorgeous box bay window creating the perfect spot for a reading nook, dressing table or quiet seating area.
The property also offers a good-sized family bathroom comprising a wash-hand basin, bath and shower over, with a separate WC conveniently positioned directly alongside.
Further benefits include multiple large storage cupboards throughout the property, along with a detached single garage.
Externally, the property enjoys a substantial garden which, although requiring some attention, offers fantastic potential to create an attractive outdoor space for entertaining, relaxing and family life.
Combining generous accommodation, beautiful period details and exciting scope for further enhancement, this distinctive William Leiper-designed home offers a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful property in one of Helensburgh’s most sought-after residential locations.
