period timber fire surround with marble insert, hearth and gas open fire. The room features solid timber flooring and intricate plasterwork on the walls and ceiling. The room has a 5-amp lighting ring

cubicle with a Hans Grohe rain dance shower which is fully tiled. Also on the ground floor is a spacious double bedroom that has a window to the side and a built-in cupboard. At the rear of the hall, a

door opens into what must be one of the most stunning features of this home, a large 35 foot long open plan kitchen with comfortable family area and dining space. In the family area, a traditionally

styled but modern Jotul wood burning stove features, with a slate wall behind. There are windows to the rear and side providing good natural light and with the kitchen area itself featuring a central

tiled splashbacks and an original Glasgow belfast sink. Included in the sale is a “Falcon” cream double oven range cooker with extractor hood over, and integrated Neff dishwasher. From the kitchen, a

door leads through to an impressive and very well proportioned utility room that has built-in timber units, sink and is plumbed in for an automatic washing machine. A window from here and a stable

door open out onto a sheltered rear courtyard that provides a lovely sitting area. A wrought iron gate opens from here out to the rear of the property. Moving back to the utility room, there is a very well

appointed and contemporary wc compartment off, refitted with vanity wash hand basin and wc. Also from the utility room, a door leads through to the integral double garage which has a door out to

the side garden of the property, a window to the rear and electrically operated up and over door.

Moving onto the upstairs accommodation, the large landing gives access to a delightful master bedroom that features a period style fireplace with tiled insert and cast iron grate with a slate hearth and

open fire. To one side of this is a shelved display alcove with cupboard below incorporating a TV ariel point and a full height window taking in fantastic views. The three pained window formation that

looks south across the gardens takes in views over the River Clyde and the hills beyond. Off the master bedroom there is an ensuite bathroom, again delightfully styled with timber dado panelling and

featuring a roll top bath, wc, wash hand basin and vanity unit with marble vanity surface. There is also access to the ensuite from the main upper landing. The second bedroom again is to the front, taking

in the great views and it benefits from its own ensuite shower room which has been created with a large walk-in raindance shower with glazed screens, vanity wash hand basin with feature Welbeck

tiled splashback and wc. There are two more bedrooms on this floor, both of which are impressive double rooms, one being to the side and rear of the property with large windows allowing in a great
