Details
A striking red sandstone villa, dating back to 1905, occupying a commanding position in one of the area’s most cherished addresses, just moments from Stonelaw Road and its excellent amenities. Set upon a generous south-facing garden plot, this truly substantial property boasts uninterrupted, breathtaking open views across the city skyline.
Representing the epitome of its class, the home has been lovingly maintained and thoughtfully enhanced by the current owners who have preserved the many fine period features on show, including stunning wooden floors, classic box-panelled doors, decorative wall panelling, detailed woodwork architraves, and beautiful stained glass - most notably within the original full-height hallway window and the majority of the top sashes throughout the property. The front stone façade has been professionally repointed and cleaned, further safeguarding the elegant character of this distinguished home.
Internally, the property is presented in turnkey condition, with modern enhancements including a refitted kitchen and bathroom, an upgraded downstairs WC, and an efficient gas-fired central heating system powered by an Ideal Logic boiler installed within the last five years.
In terms of accommodation the property comprises an entrance vestibule leading into a welcoming reception hallway with understairs storage and original stair rising to the upper level. The impressive lounge benefits from a feature fireplace with an inset living flame gas fire, complemented by a substantial four-section bay window that frames the spectacular front views. To the rear, a flexible dining room flows into an adjacent side-facing study/home office. The refitted kitchen is well-appointed with integrated appliances, including a double oven, gas hob, dishwasher, and washing machine, and features a breakfast bar set within a semi-open plan arrangement with a comfortable conservatory. French doors from the conservatory open onto the garden, with a convenient guest WC located nearby.
On the upper half-landing, a luxurious three-piece bathroom with both a side window and Velux offers a serene retreat. The main upper hallway provides access to three generous double bedrooms, with the principal bedroom boasting an original fireplace and a magnificent four-section bay window that captures views of the city skyline.
Externally, the front garden is laid to lawn with mature planting and bordered by low-level walling, alongside a stone-chipped driveway offering ample off-street parking that extends along the length of the house to a detached garage with lighting. The delightful south-facing rear garden is predominantly enclosed by repointed stone walling and beautifully landscaped, featuring a stone patio and decking area, a well-tended lawn, a variety of shrubs and trees, and a greenhouse, creating a tranquil outdoor sanctuary.
This exceptional villa combines period charm, stunning views, and modern comforts to offer a truly unique family home in a prestigious location.
The affluent suburb of Burnside, located to the southeast of the city, boasts a wide range of handsome detached and semi-detached family homes, and is widely regarded as one of the most desirable residential areas to be found on the south side of the city. This thriving community includes a number of distinguished schools including Burnside, Calderwood and St Mark's primary schools with Stonelaw High School and Fernhill private school within close proximity. There are bus pickups for private schools such as Hamilton College, the High School of Glasgow, Hutchesons' Grammar School, Craigholme School for Girls, Kelvinside Academy and Glasgow Academy. Burnside and Rutherglen have train stations with excellent commuter links to Glasgow city centre.
The area provides a range of amenities catering for day-to-day needs including a local supermarket, Burnside Blairbeth parish church, pharmacies, health care facilities, filling station, tennis, and bowling clubs. For golf enthusiasts, Cathkin Braes and Kirkhill golf courses are within three miles of the property.
