1 CARRICK 14 BOCLAIR ROAD, BEARSDEN

2 CARRICK 14 BOCLAIR ROAD, BEARSDEN G61 2AF Carrick, dating from 1925, is one of the fine period detached homes that form Boclair Road. A handsome four bedroomed detached villa, finished in red sandstone and painted render set underneath a Scots slate roof, that occupies one of the best plots on a very large corner garden of approximately 0.6 acres with Boclair Road and Boclair Crescent, the rear of which was landscaped some years ago by P.D. Stokes. The house is substantial, extending to some 3,335 sq. ft., 310m2 (gross internal) with a number of notable spaces such as the wonderful hall, large drawing room, wood panelled dining room, dining sized kitchen with its solid cherrywood units, a terrific family room and, en-suite to the master bedroom, a sizeable high end luxury bathroom. Whilst generous in scale, the house still feels intimate and affords a good flow of rooms to provide easy family living. It is well equipped and features a gas central heating system with two boilers (one - an Ideal Mexico system boiler with hot water cylinder, servicing the ground floor, with a Vokera Linea combination boiler serving upstairs). The house is alarmed. With the exception of the small side window in the dining kitchen and the stain leaded windows, all rooms feature quality replacement UPVC double glazed windows with white frames. Outside, there is a substantial double garage (20 6 x 18 2, 6.24m x 5.53m) with power light and water installed and, integral to the back of the garage, two garden stores with windows. High ceilings accentuate the feeling of space in the house and light floods into the property at various points of the day. In terms of accommodation, it can be summarised as follows:- Ground floor Entrance loggia to entrance vestibule with storm doors. Grand reception hall with an original oak fireplace with real fire, painted wood panelling and a stain leaded window. Drawing room with double aspect featuring a broad bay window to the front and, to the side, firstly, two stain leaded windows set into an inglenook and, secondly, two sets of French doors to a southwest facing loggia and the garden. Within the inglenook is a tiled fireplace with Living Flame gas fire. The formal dining room is accessed both from the reception hall and the drawing room (via double doors) and is a cosy and intimate formal space with wood panelling to dado height on all walls and with side and rear windows. The dining kitchen is a large space, with an area for table and chairs, where there is a fitted window bench seat. The kitchen has an extensive complement of solid cherrywood units with Corian worktops and a cooking area set into an arch with exposed brick wall, into which is set a range cooker by Kenwood with a six burner gas hob. There is 2 3

3 a built-in larder fridge and dishwasher. Off the dining kitchen is a laundry/utility porch which is double glazed on two sides and has plumbing for a washing machine and access door to the back garden. An extension to the property is the sizeable family room at the rear of the house where French doors open out onto a southwest sun terrace and the back garden. Additionally, there are two stain leaded windows, to the south, above a stone fireplace at the focal point of the room with a Living Flame gas fire. Bay windowed master bedroom, also with inglenook and two stain leaded windows. There is a sizeable en-suite bathroom off the master bedroom with a five piece suite that features an oval shaped bath, his and her w.h.b s. in fitted washstands, w.c. and a large shower enclosure with powerful thermostatic shower with body jets and a solid marble base. As clients can see from the photographs, the en-suite has been impressively fitted out with burr walnut and ebony veneer furniture with granite tops. Guest toilet with two piece white suite. First floor From the reception hall, a dogleg staircase with painted dado panelling ascends to the upper hall, which is galleried to hall below and features a stain leaded window to the rear. There is a large airing cupboard here housing the combination boiler. Three further double bedrooms, all large and all with wood-lined stores. Bedrooms two and three have rear facing windows, as well as side facing stain leaded windows, and bedroom four has a broad four frame dormer to the front, overlooking the garden. Family bathroom with fully tiled floor and walls and with a reproduction white suite and thermostatic shower set over the bath. Traditional heated chrome towel rail. Flooring in the property includes gorgeous traditional oak in the hall with carpet well, the dining room and the master bedroom where the carpet well has been finished in pine.

8 Outside, Carrick s gardens are just a delight, are expansive and highly private. They are screened from Boclair Road and Boclair Crescent by a high rendered brick wall that is painted white with black copings and established beech hedging. There are expanses of lawn to front, side and rear, with the side and rear garden fenced and gated to make it secure. There are delightful areas to sit out in and enjoy the gardens and these can be found outwith the drawing room and particularly outwith the family room, and the variety of trees, plants and shrubs are testament to the time, effort and investment that owners, current and past, have put into the property. The design of the garden is such to provide interest throughout the rear, with an abundance of colour particularly through the Spring and Summer months. To the very rear of the back garden is a pond. Screened away from all formal areas is a drying area. Carrick really is quite a house and, indeed, its full scale and size can only be by experiencing it first hand. It is a handsome house in a fabulous garden in one of Bearsden s prime addresses. School catchment is for the nearby Killermont Primary and Boclair Academy, with additional schooling in Bearsden including St. Andrew s Primary on Duntocher Road and the private High School of Glasgow Junior School on Ledcamoch Road (its senior school is just south of Bearsden at Anniesland). The nearest railway station is at the foot of Boclair Road at Hillfoot, with additional stations to be found at Bearsden (Station Road) and Westerton (Maxwell Avenue). Shopping is excellent in Bearsden with a large Asda on Milngavie Road and a Marks & Spencer s (food hall) at Bearsden Cross, and, in neighbouring Milngavie, a Waitrose and a Tesco. At Bearsden Cross, there is a variety of independent retailers, including a quality butchers and fishmongers. There are coffee shops and restaurants. It is a great place to live. TRAVEL DIRECTIONS From our office at Hillfoot, proceed southbound on Milngavie Road (A81) and, at the traffic lights at Boclair House Hotel, turn left up Boclair Road and at the brow of the hill, just after the second entrance for Boclair Crescent, you will find Carrick (number 14) on the right hand side. Perhaps on, first visits, it is easier to park on Boclair Crescent and take the pathway to the front door.
