2 TOWERVILLE 46 GEORGE STREET HELENSBURGH G84 7EU Built in 1858, Towerville is a simply stunning tudor gothic style villa designed by renowned architect John Honeymen of Honeymen and Keppie. The designs of this well respected architect can be found in many of Helensburgh s most distinctive properties and churches. Later improvements to the property include a striking stained glass window depicting a knight and added by Oscar Pattinson. The house was converted post war and Towerville forms the major portion of the property on the ground floor and extends to well over 3000 square feet of accommodation that includes an exceptional full height and as yet undeveloped basement area that contains five additional rooms and wine cellar.

3 Towerville forms the major portion of the property on the ground floor and extends to well over 3000 square feet of accommodation. The main drawing room is one of the most exceptional public rooms to be found anywhere in Helensburgh, with an intricate plaster ceiling with decorative cornicing, a large oriel window and two additional windows taking full advantage of views south across the gardens.

4 The property enjoys the vast majority of the garden grounds that surround the house, with the majority being south facing. The gardens are beautifully laid out and feature a sweeping gravelled driveway that provides extensive parking at the front, side and rear of the property where there is access to a modern double garage (with electrically operated up and over door). The gardens also feature lawns, a wide selection of mature trees, bushes, plants and shrubs with colourful bedded areas and to one side of the house is a stone built folly that whilst in a state of disrepair, has had planning permission granted in the past for conversion into an additional dwelling. Internally the property does not fail to impress, with the outer vestibule entered through twin timber storm doors and this outer vestibule features the stained glass window of the knight and a door with a further exquisite stained glassed panel opens into a breathtaking reception hall that measures almost fifty feet in length. The hall not only boasts the most intricate of ceilings with chandeliers and exquisite plasterwork, but high timber skirtings and carved timber architraves around beautiful panelled doors that feature stained glass panels above. The main drawing room is one of the most exceptional public rooms to be found anywhere in Helensburgh, again with an intricate plaster ceiling with decorative cornicing, a large oriel window and two additional windows taking full advantage of views south across the gardens. At the focal point is a magnificent fireplace with carved timber surround and mantel above incorporating a mirror and with an open fire below. The room features solid timber flooring and is large enough to accommodate a sizeable dining table and chairs at one end with a comfortable sitting area at the other. Next to the drawing room is a separate bay windowed family room, again with a feature fireplace and lovely views south across the gardens. To the rear of the property is the beautifully proportioned and well fitted dining kitchen that features an Aga four oven stove at its focal point with timber built hand crafted wall mounted and counter level units, extensive work surfaces and a tiled floor. Double glazed windows look onto the side of the property and at the far end of the kitchen there is access through to a rear hall which in turn leads to a pantry and sizeable utility room. There is also access from here to a staircase that ascends to an upstairs guest bedroom, boxroom and an adjoining bathroom. Also from the rear hall, there is access through to a rear passageway that leads to a completely self contained and fully developed television/playroom that can also be accessed from the other side of the house and is totally separate from the main accommodation. Moving back to the main house, the master bedroom is at the other end of the reception hall and is a sizeable bay windowed room that enjoys its own luxuriously appointed ensuite shower room that features a large walk-in shower, contemporary wash hand basin and wc. The second bedroom is an equally impressive double room with a large windows to the side of the property and an additional window to the front. The third bedroom again is a good sized double room with south facing window. The main family bathroom has been completely refitted by the current owners and features a contemporary Japanese-style bath with timber surround, a large enclosed shower enclosure along with a wc and wash hand basin. A door from here leads out to the rear passage. Once again from the reception hall and at the rear, there is a staircase that leads down to the basement level and as mentioned, this is a full height space that offers exceptional storage with five separate, well proportioned rooms as well as a wine cellar. This area of the property would lend itself well for further development into home office space, storage or a studio. The property is warmed by a system of gas fired central heating and the windows are a combination of timber framed single glazed sash & case units and replacement timber framed double glazed units.
