Park Avenue Dumbarton G82

Haxton Property are delighted to present this charming two bedroom upper cottage flat, occupying a prime position on highly sought after Park Avenue within Dumbarton’s popular East End. The property presents an excellent opportunity for purchasers to create a home tailored to their own tastes and specifications, as it requires a degree of internal modernisation and upgrading. Beautifully set close to the tranquil Gruggies Burn, it enjoys a peaceful backdrop that enhances the sense of privacy and provides a pleasant natural setting. This deceptively spacious upper flat is full of potential, with the floored attic offering excellent scope for future development, subject to the necessary planning and building consents.

The property boasts attractive traditional architecture, complemented by crisp white framed windows and well maintained gardens to the front and rear. The rear garden is a particularly appealing feature, with a generous lawn bordered by mature trees, established planting and surrounding flowerbeds that provide seasonal colour and interest. Offering a good degree of privacy and ample space for outdoor enjoyment, the garden provides an ideal setting for relaxing, entertaining or gardening.
The entrance and front façade deliver excellent kerb appeal and reflect the character of this established residential setting. Access is via a private side entrance with a newly fitted composite door, leading to stairwell and the bright upper hallway. The reception hall offers a generous walk in storage cupboard, complete with its own window providing natural light, offers useful storage and could potentially accommodate a compact home working area. A ceiling hatch with pull down wooden ladder leads to the floored attic, offering considerable potential for future development, subject to the necessary consents.
The living room is a bright and generously proportioned principal reception space. A large bay window forms an attractive focal point, flooding the room with natural light and providing pleasant views. Neutral décor, white ceilings and timber skirting create a versatile blank canvas, while an attractive arched alcove with built in shelving introduces a charming period detail. The generous proportions and excellent natural light provide an ideal foundation for creating a comfortable and elegant main reception room.
The kitchen is bright and practical, with excellent potential for contemporary enhancement. Light wood effect cabinetry and matching flooring create a warm, natural feel, complemented by white tiled walls and neutral décor. A large window above the sink overlooks mature trees and garden grounds, while the layout provides ample worktop and storage space. Appliances include a freestanding cooker, extractor hood, washing machine and larder style fridge and freezer. There is also ample space for dining, making this a practical room that could be transformed into a stylish contemporary kitchen while remaining functional in its current form.
The bathroom retains a distinctive retro character, featuring traditional turquoise wall tiling with contrasting black detailing and white upper tiling. A white bath with chrome fittings, together with a matching WC and wash hand basin, sits beneath a frosted window that provides natural light while maintaining privacy. The generous proportions and characterful finishes offer an excellent opportunity for modernisation, with scope to create a fresh and contemporary bathroom while retaining some of the property’s original charm.
There are two magnificent double sized bedrooms, both bright and well proportioned, offering excellent scope for personalisation. The principal bedroom benefits from soft neutral décor, a built in shelved recess providing useful storage and pleasant views over mature trees. The proportions and outlook create an ideal setting for a comfortable and restful bedroom. The second bedroom is similarly well proportioned and versatile, making it suitable for use as a guest bedroom, home office, nursery or child’s bedroom.
The property benefits from gas central heating and double glazing. A well appointed outdoor cellar offers practical additional storage while remaining unobtrusive within the garden setting. On street parking is available directly outside the property, providing convenient access for residents and visitors alike.
This charming upper cottage flat offers an appealing combination of space, traditional character and significant potential.
