3 bed detached bungalow for sale

Townend Road, Dumbarton G82

Seldom available and occupying a prominent position within a sought-after residential setting, this outstanding traditional detached three-bedroom bungalow presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial home of enduring character, generous proportions and timeless appeal. The handsome red sandstone façade, elegant bay-windowed frontage and decorative roof detailing immediately convey a sense of architectural quality, while the generous, meticulously maintained gardens, detached garage and dual-access private driveway reflect the exceptional standard of care with which the property has been maintained.
Offering highly versatile family accommodation across one level, the property effortlessly combines beautifully preserved period features with thoughtfully updated interiors, creating a home equally suited to modern family living and relaxed entertaining.

A welcoming entrance vestibule, framed by an original stained-glass door, opens into a bright and broad reception hallway where high ceilings and a graceful archway with elegant corbels beautifully showcase the property's fine period craftsmanship. The gentle curve of the archway naturally draws the eye towards the accommodation beyond, creating an immediate sense of flow, while warm traditional décor and an abundance of natural light establish the welcoming character that continues throughout the home.
The generous formal living room is a beautifully proportioned reception space that perfectly reflects the bungalow's heritage. A deep bay window with decorative stained-glass detailing fills the room with natural light, enhancing both its warmth and generous proportions. A traditional timber fire surround incorporating a rectangular mirror provides an attractive focal point, complemented by a coordinating built-in cabinet with stained-glass doors. Decorative cornicing further enriches the room's period character, while its impressive proportions allow it to function equally well as an elegant entertaining space or a comfortable everyday sitting room.

Designed with modern family living in mind, the dining room/family room and adjoining dining kitchen provide an excellent balance of connectivity while retaining distinct living spaces. The dining/family room features a contemporary fireplace and distinctive tartan carpeting, while two tall, white-framed double-glazed windows incorporating stained-glass upper panes, echoing those of the front elevation, flood the room with natural light and create an inviting atmosphere.
An elegant archway leads through to the beautifully appointed dining kitchen, thoughtfully designed to combine contemporary styling with everyday practicality. Soft blue shaker-style cabinetry is complemented by brushed chrome handles, warm wood-effect worktops and coordinating splashbacks, creating a refined yet highly functional finish. Modern sink with mixer tap, integrated appliances include an electric hob, oven, washing machine, dishwasher, fridge freezer and built-in microwave, ensuring a streamlined aesthetic throughout. There is ample space for informal dining, while three windows flood the kitchen with natural light. A side door provides convenient access to the deceptively spacious rear garden. Herringbone-effect flooring, recessed ceiling spotlights and a carefully considered layout complete this bright contemporary space, which flows effortlessly back into the adjoining dining/family room.

The shower room provides a stylish contemporary contrast to the property's traditional architecture. Finished in a sophisticated palette of charcoal and white, it features full-height textured tiling within the shower enclosure, half-height tiling elsewhere, a walk-in shower with a frameless glass screen, quality chrome fittings, a pedestal wash hand basin and low-flush WC. A large frosted window provides excellent natural light while maintaining privacy, while the minimalist suite enhances the room's clean, understated aesthetic.

The three well-proportioned bedrooms continue the home's theme of light, space and understated elegance. The principal bedroom enjoys a beautiful bay window with decorative stained-glass detailing, complemented by soft mint green décor and neutral carpeting, while comfortably accommodating a full complement of bedroom furniture. The remaining two bedrooms are equally well proportioned, each enjoying large windows overlooking the rear gardens. Their simple décor creates an excellent blank canvas, ready to be tailored to individual tastes and lifestyles. The third bedroom is enhanced by an attractive original feature fireplace, adding further charm and character.

The property further benefits from gas central heating, double glazing, decorative cornicing and a wealth of original traditional features throughout. The loft is floored and accessed via a secure aluminium ladder, offering excellent additional storage space as well as superb potential for future conversion or extension, subject to the necessary planning consents.

An extensive dual-access driveway provides generous off-street parking for several vehicles. The detached single garage, complete with a newly fitted garage door, is ideally suited for secure parking, storage or workshop use and enjoys the added benefit of access from both the front driveway and the rear.

The beautifully maintained garden grounds are a particular highlight of the property, providing a generous and highly private outdoor environment that perfectly complements its traditional character. A neatly manicured lawn extends across the rear garden, enclosed by mature hedging which affords an excellent degree of privacy. A paved patio provides an ideal setting for outdoor seating, entertaining and al fresco dining during the warmer months. Occupying a substantial plot with well-defined boundaries, the property also offers excellent potential for extension or further development, subject to the necessary planning consents, while retaining the peaceful and established character of its surroundings.

Altogether, this outstanding traditional detached bungalow is a home of genuine distinction, combining the elegance of period architecture with the comfort and practicality expected of modern family living. Beautifully maintained throughout and occupying an exceptional plot, it offers generous, flexible accommodation together with significant future potential, all within one of the area's most desirable residential settings. A rare opportunity to acquire a home where timeless character, exceptional presentation and enduring quality come together effortlessly.
